  1. This is the begining of the end of the chor congress rule in Goa.For every action there is equal and opposite reaction.Time is up for the greedy politicians to say goodbye to the politic. The GRA should keep the momemtum and galvanize the more people on the street to save Goa from the knuckles of the greedy and dishonest 40 thieves. If GRA shows their might again then all the 40 RODENTS will run in the gutter.

  6. This is our HOPE to clean the existing ROT of 40 Ministers ..They have lost their sight with blindfolded with corruption and this is human nature when human loses self consience. They require Rehab. Democracy has bitter truth..?? This is a VINDICATIVE SYSTEM WITH A LOOPHOLE AND WE HAVE TO PLUG IT.. This Democracy was install in India when INDIA was majority was ILLITERATE..WE need change now..We in 2011 and not in 1947.

    Enuf of gang loot, Bribery and plunder in the name of development as for them more prosperity is to be made from destruction rather than development..GOANS FIRST...The goverment is in unfeasible development without vision by rampant destruction of Goan Land and Exploitation of its Resources.

    We have to stop MINING and put Goans Jobs skills Training Institutes at first like International Cruise Terminal with a world class Marina which will secure Jobs for Goans and revive our Tourism Industy to world class standards and develop our Wild reserves and parks and
    ofcourse we want a world Class Logistic Park with a ICD and a Transhipment Sea Terminal at Vasco instead of dedicated Mine ore terminal.

    We also need a Hub based Air Cargo Airport with better inter connectivity. WE NEED ALL THIS RIGHT AWAY TO SOLVE OUR UMEMPLOYLENT ISSUE AND LIVE AND WORK IN GOA and not DIRTY JOBS IN MININING/ UN FEASIBLE REAL ESTATE AND MIGRANT ENCLAVE WITH UPHAZARD DEVELOPMENT and MASSIVE INDUSTRIAL ESTATES AND SEZ AND ECONOMIC ZONES FOR DISASTER AND DESTRUCTION OF GOA AND GOANS.. we need to do what we can do and not enforce shit on us by this corrupt selfish goverment.

    We need to produce high class FENI for EXPORT which can bring us foreign currency and develop our primary exports and products which are world famous where even any INDIAN ENVY and cannot even stand anywhere to compete us in internationl exports.

    We have enough Hotels and resort and we dont need any more....We need Heritage Tourism like SPAIN.FRANCE.ITALY..THAT IS GOAN UNTAPPED MINES and hinterland nature reserves to invite international tourist like What Japan is doing...with Eco-sustainability concepts and not Destruction of our forests ,paddies and Village life. We can do it very easily as Goa is very small and we have to pull OUR BIGGEST SUPPORT GOAN NRI FOR INVESTMENT.

    We are fooled by our very own Goverment. The goverment instead if backing and supporting us on what we can do ..The AIM OF 40 thugs is to rule us by enforcing their corrupt regime and motives to serve the ELITE SUPER RICH OF INDIA and benefit their bank accoutns.

    Everthing in Vasco is entirely GEARED UP to the benefit of the Mine Exporters AND MIGRANT VOTE BANK . STOP MINING AT ALL COST TO SAVE GOAS FUTURE OF OUR GOANS CHILDREN.. We will have to answer this for our future Generations. STOP INDUSTRIAL ESTATEs. when Goa itself have not much energy supplies for that scale not to mention POLLUTION /GARBAGE AND TRAFFIC INFRASTUCTURE CHAOS.

    The GRA has a lot of difficult ground work to cover, at the same time the burden could be reduce if all like minded Goans come together in one strength. If not the corrupt politicians will find a way to to destroy at the first opportunity it Gets. It is best to take one step at a time, and not rush as haste will make waste.
