Is Pitru Paksha inauspicious, as is believed by some politicians, so much so they either go on a silent mode or prefer to talk less on politics during the period? This question is indeed a subject matter of debate in political circles as the 15-day period begins during the weekend. As the debate rages, political observers wonder whether the Congress turncoats had planned to quit the Congress party during Pitru Paksha before they all embraced the saffron brigade a year ago. The Congress turncoats would be the right persons to shed light whether Pitru Paksha is inauspicious or not, remarked a political observer. Any takers?
What transpired between Vishwajit, Vijai over South dist hospital issue?
Health Minister Vishwajitbab Rane was holed up in Bhopal in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh when Goa Forward chief Vijaibab Sardesai with supporters stormed the “ailing” South Goa district hospital to protest over the non-functioning ICU. If sources are to be believed, the Jr Rane called up the Goa Forward chief to find out the reason behind the protests by the regional party.

Was Pratima waiting for opportunity to quit AAP?
When social activist Pratimabai Coutinho’s name found a mention in the list of newly-appointed list of Aam Aadmi Party functionaries, many a political observer wondered whether the irrepressible AAP leader has buried the hatchet with the party leadership. For, Pratimabai was more seen with social activists than with AAP leaders, be it to stage protests or dharnas on social issues. That Pratimabai put in her papers the very next day after her appointment indicates that she was waiting for the opportune time to sever ties with AAP. Will Pratimabai shed light on the reasons behind her decision?
All eyes on Luizinho’s future political plans
Former Chief Minister and ex-Rajya Sabha MP Luizinhbab Faleiro will descend in his home constituency Navelim during the weekend, but on a different mission. One, who did not stop invoking the name of nationalist Dr Francisco Luis Gomes at a public forum over the decades, Luizinhbab will descend in Navelim along with Congress MP Francisbab Sardinha to lay the foundation stone for the memorial in honour of the great Goan nationalist. A grand memorial in honour of Dr Gomes has been Luizinhbab’s dream over the years. As he is set to initiate the work with a compound wall on Dr Gomes’ death anniversary on September 30, Luizinhbab may have to answer the same old question on his future political plans. Wait and watch.
