No work means
inconveniencing residents
The councillors joining the strike were the
ire of the public. Now everyone in Xaxti
were like why the heck are the councillors
joining the strike? “Don’t they realize no
work in the wards means people will get
inconvenienced,” was the cry of one Borda
resident. But the connection is obvious. Earlier
councillor brother Damu Shirodkar would bat
for market illegalities and encroachments
and get the councillors to support him and
now the Margao Municipal Council Market
inspector cum Margao Municipal Workers
president’s elder brother Anil Shirodkar has
got the Chairperson Arthur D’Silva and other
councillors to back their pointless strike. What
a connection this one…
So the activist versus Viraj
battle got ugly
The counter complaints and complaints,
striking workers and all the jazz continued
and the activist battle got ugly. They went to
Viraj Arabekar’s facebook page and pulled
out his pictures as a body builder and as
a Junior Mr India bodybuilding judge and
published them across social media networks
and WhatsApp. Activists are asking whether a
man of this build can be a sanitary inspector
or whether he will fit in the drains or get
stuck or whether the MMC will pass new
tenders to increase the size of drains. The pot
shots continued through Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday and the broadcast messages
increased.
Rajeev Gomes the criminal
lawyer cum bouquet bearer
Rajeev Gomes moves through Margao as a
no mercy criminal lawyer at large as his
facebook page says and he shows no mercy
while attacking Digambar Kamat and the
Margao Municipal Councillors. But Margao
residents saw an Awww moment when Rajeev,
with a bunch of white roses was standing
beside sanitary inspector, Viraj Arabekar to
break the deadlock and call off the strike. Some
moment that was. People wonder if that was
another moment for the man who aspires to
beat Digambar Kamat in 2017 for the Margao
Polls, as he ruled himself out of MMC politics.
Luizinho – Dr Wilfred
Mesquita bumchuming
At a recent dinner party at Verna, Luizinho
Faleiro, Congress President and the BJP
Vice President were having a gala time and
talking about their party, Manipur, RSS, Amit
Shah, Sonia Gandhi and all things on this planet
including Portuguese passport and Goans in
Paris. These boys were far from rivals praising
each other’s parties and then we wonder what
really party politics is all about.
