Games people play
What is going on between the BBSM/RSS combine and the BJP? I guess these are just “games these people are playing “for the gallery. Like in the famous song "Games People Play" these stalwarts are unwittingly castigating themselves for their various forms of hate, hypocrisy, and intolerance, both interpersonal and social. After all both the warring contenders, at the core, have one and the same agenda. My gut feeling tells me that in the end they will join ranks to strike a deadly blow against the imaginary “Frankenstein” they have created.
I see no other reason for the pot calling the kettle black. Further, the million-dollar question is: “If the BBSM/RSS don’t vote for BJP, who else will they they vote for? Poor Bembre, Bhatikar and Velingkar. In a fit of temper they tied themselves in knots and now, confused and worried, are at pains to find an alibi to untie themselves "honourably".

Revise limits
A high school headmistress was killed in a fatal accident crash accident involving a sewerage tanker and two wheeler on the busy Miramar-Campal road on Wednesday afternoon. This is an eye opener for all the Panjimites. The city’s roads are in dilapidated condition due to sewerage work which is not ending and that the JCBs are travelling every day beyond prescribed limits of 40 kms per hour. There are many sewerage tankers coming in everyday to unload into the sewage PWD Plant at St Ines. There is construction taking place in many parts of Panaji, Caranzalem and Dona Paula for example where we see trucks loaded with cement, sand, iron rods and other metal sheets etc. We also see number of private and PWD water tankers attending calls at housing and construction sites; there are also trucks carrying vegetable goods coming from other parts of the country and unloading their goods at the Panaji market. The government must notify a revised speed limit for less than 30 kms per hour for safety purposes.

Aam aadmi wave
Over the years, Goa has been destroyed by political parties and their governments. The government today is behaving like a dictatorial government and taking all the decisions unilaterally, against the wishes of the people and just to benefit a few people. Magnitude of corruption has put the state into deep crisis. Aam Aadmi of Goa now wants a change. They want to see a government that works hard and in consultation with the aam aadmi of the state. By the winning 67 out of 70 seats in Delhi, AAP has shown that winning is possible without money or muscle power. All you need is commitment to work hard towards the dream of honest governance that serves the people. Arwind Kejriwal would be coming soon to Goa to share his experience of governance in Delhi, which has now become a model of governance, and discuss how it can be replicated in Goa. Let’s sweep corruption, communalism and criminals out of Goa’s Politics.
