Goa, July 28 -- The BJP president JP Nadda arrived, to take stock of the party in Goa. As a central leader and former minister, he is and will be most welcome in Goa. And that is because Goans are courteous and hospitable to all.

Before we focus on how he was welcomed, one needs to ask if on many sensitive issues concerning Goa and Goans was he properly briefed by the local unit and its leaders? These are issues that are not only critical for Goans and their children, there has been a lot of unrest and hurt around them. Perhaps the BJP national president wasn't clearly aware of the impact of his words when he said the government will go ahead with the "three Mollem projects".

Mollem is not just a national park, it is a people's movement...
