Rise and Fall Goa Congress Government. The congress leaders and ministers enjoyed in full swing

doing illegal business, corruption, criminal and so on.

Obviously if you want to be a rich guys congress is best party grab the poor kill and close the criminal file. This is good lesson to learn. Congress observers or

president does not know this ? ignored and given

Goa party to run family like Rane's, Alemmao, Monsorette, Ravi;s and so on. Now they have work to do sit opposition and kill bugs. Rane,Alemao,Ravi.

Monsoratt,Mauvin. Alex. Digamber etc. One more option for them to do dig mine in surla and transport

to Karnataka or buy fishing net and fish in dead sea..

The kick by the voters appears to be very powerful...Look at the kicked out candidates being tossed so high up ---the fall would probably set right their inflated ego and high arrogance--- acquired at public cost....
