Is Mr. Subodh Kantak a MAN or a MOUSE.
It seems like Goa Lawmakers are a rule unto themselves and as soon as they are confronted,run into their "MOUSEHOLES".
Dont`t worry Mr Aires Rodrigues, a little more of the legendary "CHEESE" , will trap them.
The sure can run...but they sure cannot hide for too long.
Mr. Subodh Kantak should not consider him self a GOD or a DEITY of the LAW.
Mr. Subodh Kantak is just an overpaid,good for nothing & inconsiderate Advocate General.
There are jobs awaiting him in Tunisia and Egypt and perhaps other places too.
