Goa Diary

Rebels in disguise?

Will the Congress Legislative Party in Goa rebel against Sonia Gandhi after the June 4 Assembly elections? Goa Pradesh Congress president Luizinho Faleiro who would usually comment on every subject under the sun is strangely silent on the rebellion in the party by Sharad Pawar, P A Sangma and Tariq Anwar.

The assembly elections have nothing new to offer to the people of Goa. The usual suspects who toppled three governments in one year are contesting again under different party labels. So will the people turn up in large numbers at the polling booth? Yes, a politico was over-heard saying. To have a dekko of the new electronic voting machines!
