Has Lobo lost the trust of Goans?


Finally, Michael Lobo quit BJP when he came to know his wife would not get the BJP Siolim ticket. Lobo says his main grouse was that karyakartas in Calangute were sidelined by the party. 

If one may recall, Lobo was always hitting out at the BJP over several issues and the party had not said a word to him.

He showed that he was with Goans, but in reality he supported outsiders.

Calangute has become a den of drug mafia. Illegalities, prostitution and other dubious activities are rampant. 

Lobo claims that he has the support of his people and that his victory is ensured. But the reality is different. Calangute locals have lost trust in their leader. Even Congress has delayed inducting him into the party.

Enough is enough, not only Goa but the whole world is watching the political circus.
