However since Michael has rejoined the BJP, the TCP Minister has gone into hibernation in his accusations. One can only drive around Goa to see the massive destruction around Goa in favour of real estate companies setting up luxury villas and other housing projects (mostly in favour of rich people from outside Goa! ) under the very nose of the TCP Minister.  So what does all this say about Rane -- if he is alleging that the Regional Plan involving eminent Indians/Goans is a scam, what is all this that you are doing; is this not a mega TCP scam?
