Saxttikars wonder why the Griha Aadhaar sanction order distribution for women was held in Margao when the venue could have been elsewhere in the State. For, Chief Minister Pramodbab Sawant had to rush to Margao after another programme in North Goa. And, so did Minister Vishwajitbab Rane who travelled all the way to the commercial capital, leaving political observers to wonder whether the programme had anything to do with the first anniversary of the defection by the eight Congress MLAs. For, with the turncoats from Saxttidom, Diggu and Aleixobab Sequeira yet to receive the promised cabinet berth rewards, was the Griha Aadhaar programme an attempt to send the right signal that the government cares and cares for everyone, including the turncoats. Any questions?

Health Minister continues to snub, ignore GPCC chief
It was a week when Health Minister Vishwajitbab Rane simply refused to take the name of GPCC chief Amitbab Patkar, leave alone replying to an allegation by the Congress president. Who’s this man, I don’t know him, and I have heard of such a name for the first time ever, was how Health Minister Vishwajitbab Rane reacted when the media sought his reaction to Patkar’s allegation during his visit to Margao earlier this week. As a parting shot, Vishwajitbab said he does not want to join issues with these small people. This isn’t the first time that the Health Minister tried to snub and ignore the GPCC chief and the Congress. Guess, why?

Sources, however, informed that an inquisitive Goa Forward chief reportedly tried to find out whether Damubab has still plans for Fatorda or has drawn up bigger political plans in the BJP. By the way, Vijaibab is believed to have extended belated birthday wishes to Damubab. Interesting, isn’t it?
