I fully agree with the view expressed by Sanjay Kumar.

Dr Jack Sequira gave Goans separate identity. He deserves more tributes than Bhau Bandodkar.

Dude grow up!

Bandodkar was the first CM of Goa. he also provided decent administration, set up educational institutions, bridges, roads, etc. with just 2 ministers and no corruption. Besides, Bahusaheb was a man of masses.

Thank you Kangress for institutionalizing corruption in Goa.

Bandodkar did not sell Goa to some foreign country, he organized an opinion poll, which was defeated, he accepted the verdict and moved on...

You are still harboring those thoughts, and breeding hatred despite the issue being dead and gone.

Grow up man..

It is surprised to read about tributes to Mr.D.Bandodkar

leader and backdoor to merge Goa to Maharashtra.

Still people of Goa dreams about Bandodkar. If cleaver

and intellegent person who can answer my question.

Why not tributes opinion poll father Dr. Jack Sequire

who fights to keep Goa separate rather than ,merge

Goa to Maharashtra, he is real hero of this cause. Why

then tributes Goa leaders to Bandodkar. Shame goans

still no one remember Dr. Jack but most remember

traitor like Bandodkar.
