Split RGP group should not distract Viresh

I have been in touch with senior RGP founders from the very beginning and have been following them since. All through this time, even though I had serious differences with RGP, generally the one person whom I have always respected was RGP MLA Viresh Borkar.

I request this split RGP group to stop distracting/slowing down Viresh Borkar for the sake of Goa. Your energy can be better used for the benefit of Goa. Right now, all that you are doing is extremely unproductive and very detrimental to Goa. It is, in fact, helping the destructive forces currently in power.
