IS CONGRESS R.I.P.?.

According to the latest news in Goa’s political scenario, the present Congress MLA from Cumbharjua, Pandurang Madkaikar is likely to defect to MGP though according to him he also received offer from BJP.  The way he speaks of receiving offers it looks these offers are from soccer clubs where players are free to join any club of their choice.  Madkaikar speaks as if he is irresponsible Congressman having joined Congress  only to fulfil his personal ambition of becoming a Minister and since he is out of Power during one full term he feels frustrated like many Congressmen because they are fake Congressmen joined Congress Party only to enhance their personal ambitions.

However, I have to admire Madkaikar for speaking his mind rightly and boldly when he said “The Congress leadership is in a stage of hibernation and does not want to move.  They have no plan to tackle the opposition and form the government”.    The current leadership of Congress Party in Goa is absolutely in the hands of inefficient person who is impotent to revive the hope of the Party. This leadership will not mind even if the party is totally routed in the coming election.  From the present mood of the party it looks Congress Party has already surrendered in defeat. Precisely because of this mood some elected Congressmen are clandestinely working out their strategy to defect to either MGP or BJP from where they came.  It will be like “Ghar Wapsi” for them.

Madkaikar was right when he said that “Congress should desist from giving tickets to old faces” and if I am permitted to add more, “also to the defeated candidates”.  These two segments will hurry the Congress defeat in Goa. The current leadership of Congress is not interested in promoting party’s interest because of the sacrileges this party has committed against Goa and Goans especially with the active support and connivance of the current leadership.  Mopa, Casinos, Illegal Mining etc. are the creations of Congress Party. Luisin Faleiro is unfit leader to save Congress from the current rot. He got no leadership qualities in him nor in his genes.  He cannot resurrect Congress from drowning. It is going to be a big blow on all the supporters of Congress.

However, unless drastic action is taken, the fate of Congress Party in the coming election is very bleak for which the total responsibility will fall on the shoulders of the current leadership in Goa and also on High Command in Delhi that is least bothered on Goa.

TIATRO "BOROINAR" BY TOMAZINHO CARDOSO.

On 14^th of this month, under Kala Mogi, Candolim, once well known Tiatrist Tomazinho Cardoso, staged his Tiatro “BOROINAR” at Kala Academy Hall, Panjim, starting at 7.00 PM.  This was of a group “A” of this year’s, 42^nd Tiatro Competition.  Though free tickets were given to some of the attendees yet the Hall was not full contrary to the earlier trend whence Tomazinho Cardoso’s Tiatro means automatic Houseful.  

Opening song - a Trio on 125 years of Tiatro

The story is not an extra ordinary as otherwise staged but a simple one based on buying of the  Tiatro Script by someone and staging it in his name.  It is nothing but selling of Tiatro script. This trend is common in Goa.  

About 40 years back similar Tiatro was staged by Thomas de Candolim and it was very well accepted by the audience in Bombay, its title was "Boroinar & Director". 

All the artistes performed their roles very well including the comedians.

A trio song on Dev Dhorom

In the Side Show songs, Tomazinho Cardoso stole the show in his songs namely a duet, a Trio and an excellent Quartet on FC Goa.  This type of songs should be rendered a hundred times all over Goa to educate the Goans of the chicanery of the current owner of FC Goa and his real intention in grabbing FC Goa from Goan owners.
