Goa, July 30 -- In April-May last year, during the campaign for the by-election for Panjim constituency, the then Congress candidate Atanasio (Babush) Monserrate had promised that he would see that that casino vessels that operate in the River Mandovi and that have their offices in Panjim would be shifted from the river within 100 days of him being elected. He won, and as people kept count, this didn't happen but Monserrate, within 100 days of becoming the MLA of Panjim, broke away from the Congress and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party which is in power. It might have made it easier for him to fulfill his promise, but even a year later he has still been unable to move the casino vessels from the River Mandovi.

Not only does Monserrate rep...
