Congress turncoats may hope that Chief Minister Pramodbab Sawant is circumspect while making statements directed at the previous Congress governments. For, the CM’s statements targeting the Congress seemed to have only given ammunition for opponents to fire guns at the turncoats in their fiefdoms. Couple of months ago, Pramodbab Sawant’s statement holding Congress responsible for the death of the two tribal youth in the UTAA agitation had left the turncoats embarrassed. Reason: The deaths of the tribal youth had taken place during the Congress government headed by then CM Diggu. Any questions?

Queries remained unanswered over Cong ticket denial to Monte Cruz

GPCC chief hints at new party office ahead of BJP’s office
What exactly did GPCC chief Amitbab Patkar mean when he tweeted that the Congress will have its new office before the completion of the BJP’s office. Well, the Congress has been functioning from the Congress House for a long time now and Amitbab’s announcement may come as welcome news for Congressmen. The last time the Congress could get the district office in South Goa was around 12 years ago when then party heavyweight Aleixobab Sequeira was the Power Minister. Even a plaque was put up in the South district office to tell all and sundry that the office was arranged by Aleixobab. It’s another matter the plaque has disappeared from the office after Aleixobab embraced the saffron brigade. Any questions?
