Team Goemkarponn PANAJI: Alleging discrimination in the run-up to the Zilla Panchayat elections, MLA Viresh Borkar on Monday accused the BJP of playing delay tactics to hamper the opposition’s election campaign in Tiswadi Taluka. Borkar claimed that the government administration is working against opposition parties by deliberately delaying permissions required for campaigning.

BJP candidates are getting approvals, but…

Team Goemkarponn BHOMA: Social activist Sanjay Naik of Bhoma today has strongly slammed Priol MLA Govind Gaude, accusing him of indulging in political opportunism by opposing the Bhoma Bypass Road only with the Zilla Panchayat elections around the corner.

Fans did not erupt out of thin air. They reacted to broken promises, poor communication and the feeling of being treated as props rather than participants.”…

By Vishwesh Karapurkar As Goa heads into Zilla Panchayat elections, voters are once again being treated not as thinking citizens but as an audience to be managed. The ruling party, the opposition and the self proclaimed alternatives are all peddling selective truths, loud accusations and convenient amnesia. Lies are not limited to one side. They cut across party lines, ideologies and campaign platforms. What makes this deception particularly troubling is that Zilla Panchayat elections are being fought like Assembly or parliamentary contests. National and state leaders descend on villages, tempers are raised and grand promises are made, even though ZP…
