I am neither a supporter nor a sympathizer of the Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) but they have indeed fared well in 2012 Elections, all the more creditworthy as they fielded 6 Catholic candidates and all of them won: 1 Francis D'Souza - Mapusa, 2 Glen D'Souza Ticlo - Aldona 3 Michael Lobo -Calangute 4Carlos Almeida Vaso 5 Matanhy Saldanha -Cortalim and 6 Nilesh Cabral - Curchorem.
The BJP according to the newspaper reports also supported 2 Independent Catholic candidates i.e. Avertano Furtado and Benjamin D'Silva who won in Navelim and Velim respectively. Micky Pacheco won in the Nuvem constituency and fellow GVP member Caitano Silva won in Benaulim constituency. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
