Viky, your comment is superb. Fitting to all on the stage!!!
Few Good things I have Noticed 1. Forgive and Moveon: Its said that "No one remains Permanent friends or Enemies in Politics" See Mr. Jerald Fernandes and Mr. Vasant Sailian are together.. Few years ago There was historic curfew in Belle as One almost killed another.... Great thing politics teaches. 2. Regarding Shobha... is she going to come to belle to thank people if she wins.... or we see her after 5 years.. again to beg Votes.... 3. No Comments about Mr. Raphael Aranha. 4. I don t criticize any party but one thing (Both CONGRESS, BJP or any other XYZ) Party workers are shameless... They see their own profit 5. What we need is an individual who has the ability to serve and stand for the people, help the needy. We don t need a party which spends Billions on advertising and Marketing but cant spend a penny to the right cause... We wont vote you "Fancy Dress" people.. We need a true leader
If the fruits are too rotten for consumption, prepare fruit salad and hope it passes the smell test! Looking at the assortment of characters rallying around a confused and parachuted candidate in multiple acts of transition, aka Shobha Karandlaje, one wonders about the limits of voters sanity. BJP in our district seems to be the refuge for those who have nowhere to go or facing serious identity crisis. Vasanth Salian’s presence is understandable… he is willing to join even Ponkra’s party if there was one. But, beats me what Mr.Raphael Aranha is doing out there holding the mike. Surely he is not about to get any points or favors from the bunch of opportunists being paraded out there. One look at the presence and motivation of the crowd in those photographs is enough to dash my hopes of any positive intent from BJP for our constituency.
