Bills unpaid for Modi's Goa rally, official says
Panaji: The licence and tax bills for the BJP's prime ministerial hopeful Narendra Modi's rally Jan 12 near Panaji have not been paid, an official said. Mayor of the Corporation of the City of Panaji (CCP) Surendra Furtado told IANS Wednesday that the banners and posters promoting and advertising Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) prime ministerial candidate's public rally were plastered all over the city's jurisdiction, without permissions from the city council. "They have neither taken permissions nor paid us the licence fees, which are mandatory for putting up advertising or promotional material in city limits," Furtado said. Giant cut-outs of Modi, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar and a galaxy of BJP leaders, along with buntings, flags and other BJP paraphernalia were put up all over Goa and the capital, which is located a stone's throw from the venue of Modi's rally which attracted a crowd of over a lakh.

Panaji: In a blistering attack on media, Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has alleged that most national news channels were being backed by the Congress. Parrikar was speaking Tuesday at a public function at Quepem, a sub-district located 50 km from Panaji, a few days after the media, quoting opposition leaders, reported that two BJP MLAs had engaged in an alcohol-fuelled fight while they were in New Delhi to attend their party's recently concluded national executive. "I want to ask these channels in Delhi, where do you get their benefit from? I know all their money comes from the Congress ... Financially, none of the channels are viable," said Parrikar. Parrikar, who at a press conference on New Year's day this year, requested media to report "positively", also asked why newspapers in Goa had chosen to "waste time", writing about the alleged fight between two MLAs.
