Farcical speeches just to fool Goans?

Goan voters need to a track of the events and the speeches that politicians make. TMC member Luizinho Faleiro made a maiden Rajya Sabha speech at Zero hour. What he spoke was not recorded as it was not relevant to Zero hour, amply explained to him during his speech. 

The Speaker continuously asked him to make his relevant point. 

In the process he showed ample immaturity shaming Goans. 

TMC Lok Sabha member, Mahua Moitra similarly spoke about the illegal Old Goa construction but failed to mention who were the perpetrators of the crime.

In October, TMC was wooing Goa Forward. The problem here was that in 2017, GF blamed Luizinho Faleiro for preventing Congress from forming the government. 

Trading of barbs and charges are bound to happen in the run-up to elections. In the same way politicians and parties keep on making promises.

Goans should in fact keep a track so that nobody can them.
