IS EVERYTHING OK IN GOA IN MINISTRY FORMATION?

Is everything going ok in Goa with regards to the formation of the Ministry and the other aspects because I think important work is kept pending since the last 3 months when somewhere in January this year as per the system, the Code of Conduct was introduced. Is it allowed to delay for such a long time now after the results of the election was already declared? However when last time during those few turbulent days, only 2-3 days there was heavy demand on the Congress to submit its list to the Governor for the formation of Ministry. Compared to 2-3 days of last time now it is about 10 long days where the BJP is allowed to sleep over the list of its Ministry. I feel in view of this, such a long delay by the BJP, if it is fair as per the law, Congress should submit its list immediately with the acquisition of few more purchasable MLA's thru the ingenuity of my friend Micahel Lobo who is expert in this field. There was expectation in the Michael Lobo circle that due to his expertise he indicated 5 years back, Lobo will again do something similar and help his Congress Party to form the ministry. People in general and BJP's in particular are eagerly awaiting the formation of ministry. They too are fed-up of waiting for such a long period. Is this such a long delay in the formation of delay is constitutionally permissible? Or Governor who is the symphatiser of BJP is playing the dirty trick of using the delay to mame this delaying tactics work for the benefit of BJP? If this delaying tackitcs are unconstitutional then Governor should be heavily reprimanded. This can be a one more reason to facilitate the BJP to bring Goa under its total control. There is a saying in Konkani thhat says "Raza Podon mhontlear Mort marler zata?" In other words just because BJP has got powerful influence can they do n

ELECTION RESULTS AS EXPECTED.

As expected the results of the election favouring BJP to form its Ministry is confirmed. However, I feel pity for the voters of Congress because most of them were sincere to the Congress but unfortunately Congress is not serious to protect the interest of its followers. Gone were the days when Congress Party was manned by the giants of those days but now sadly Congress Party is lacking not only in giants but even an ordinary office boy in its administration. After the last debacle 5 years back, Congress mysteriously accepted lying down the betrayal of its 10 defectors without creating the necessary uproar, both the headquarters of Congress at Delhi and Panjim were almost dumb thus sending the message to all the Congressmen and its supporters that this very same Congress party once was a giant killers is now turned into a pale shadow of its former glory. There is no point in taking pleasure in highlighting the greatness of its yesteryear leaders in whose absence there is not a single leader in it to revive its functioning. In view of this pathetic situation will I make a mistake if I say R.I.P. Congress at least in Goa? It is not enough for Congress Chief in Goa, Girish Chodoncar to accept the defeat and resign but more than anything else he should be castigated for continuously saying till the last minute that Congress is heading for the victory. Why this fooling or was he so ignorant not to read the writings on the walls? Now the little hope I have is on the AAP and RG to play the role of opposition constructively even their numerical strength is miniscule. A.Veronica Fernandes.

DAMIAO FROM CANDOLIM ORDA SPEAKS.

One of the popular persons from Candolim Bardez Goa is Damiao Telles a firebrand from the Orda St.Sebastiao Vaddo. He creates havoc during the Gram Sabah Meets organized by Candolim Panchyat being very vocal in pointing out mistakes of the village rulers. Because of his being vocal there he bares the weakness of the Panchayat body which it looks like manned by some of the weak persons who are elected there by some of the double weak voters. This Panchayat in their mischievous doings detrimental to the betterment of the village and villagers is exposing its misdeeds because Candolim is now inhabited by some of the stupid people otherwise Candolim is known to produce great people, this village of mine known as Caandolim is known to give birth to the greatest man of his type of this planet named Abe Faria and the Pintos’ Revolutionaries who created the Pintos Revolt against the Portuguese rule in Goa about 300 years back. Because of his fighting for jusice in the village, some miscreants even put fire to his house incurring him into heavy losses. Since sometime now, he is running his shop at the Candolim Beach Park area, some people are accusing him of not taking active part in the local affairs by being a bit silent as some people in the locality feels that by giving him the said Shop local Panchayat kept his mouth shut. But, Damiao flatly refused this accusation. There is no favour in allotting this Shop to Damiao because it is rightly given to him because this Shop was reserved for the handicapped and since Damiao falls in this category he was given rightly to him, this is as per my information. Meantime, Damiao said he will go on doing the same type of campaign against injustice meted to our villagers `without any fear or softness. If still some people are having any question on his way of acting then they can meet him and know the truth further. A.Veronica Fernandes.
