Victoria Fernandes has begun election work
Even her die-hard supporters are sure Mummy is going to sink like a stone in the soon to happen Assembly Elections next November. She has done nothing for us, say her erstwhile fan base. Ah but they would be wrong, because their loving Mummy has summoned all those to have to get their houses regularized to her house to check their title documents. There is a buzz all over the Indira Gandhi slum colony in Chimbel which at 10,000 people strong provides her with a hefty chunk of at least 3000 votes. This time there are murmurs of dissent. Mummy cannot do much any more. It is time for her to go.

Tribal leaders are corporate barons
The Balli violence ended up really expensive for the Goans. There’s the damage to the railway tracks; burning of vehicles; burning of Adarsh Cooperative Society building and the Anchal Cashew factory. All this will have to be paid back by the taxpayer.

B) Chairperson of Scheduled Tribe Commission Pandurang Madaikar and find out how he is such a successful builder and how he drives a swanky white Mercedes, which he took to the CCP Bainguinim site to examine the garbage dumped by the CCP. That’s an insult to a Merc.

As we were saying, when PM was the TM of Goa the going rate for getting a posting as RTO inspector was a teeny tiny amount of Rs 20 lakh.
