PANJIM: Goa police are all set to meet any exigencies arising out of law and order situation in the state on Monday in view of the bandh call given by the Bharatiya Bhasha Suraksha Manch and its supporters.

What use is this 'Bandh'? The Private buses and Market vendors have taken heed of Parrikar's BJP and have agreed to close down. Parrikar's agenda is different from BBSM. What has each of them gained? Nothing. Both will claim success in the Bandh.
ReplyDeleteIs this Bandh not forced on the people by paralysing transport and market? The losers are the bus owners and market vendors, no one else.

Election time is fast approaching and Parrikar wants to be in the limelight at the cost of the poor and ignorant people.
