Politics has become lucrative business for our politicians

Let us gear up for any sacrifice whatsoever to ensure the defeat of Panaji MLA Babush Monserrate at the ensuing Assembly elections. On  February 19, 2008 Babush Monserrate and his wife Jennifer led the brutal attack on our Panaji Police Station.

Babush Monserrate and Jennifer are facing serious charges of that attack on the police station. They mischievously managed to get a stay on the proceedings from the High Court on December 4, 2014 despite the High Court by an earlier order dated April 20, 2012 having rejected their plea and directing them to face trial. For the Monserrates politics has become a very lucrative business venture. All this has to change for Goa to see better days.
