Exclusive pics by Rajtilak Naik in Panaji for Daijiworld News Network - Goa
Panaji, Mar 3: For politicians, as is generally believed, what they preach in public and what they practise in their private lives are two different things. Or at least that is the way the general public cynically perceives.
But something different happened in Goa, for once. Ministers and political heavyweights of the state did not just tell the public it was safe to eat chicken without the fear of the likely bird-flu.

Speaker Francisco Sardinha and state's director of animal husbandry Dr Tulsidas Naik
They went a step ahead and demonstrated their courage of conviction by eating chicken in public to prove that they were not chicken-hearted when it came to doing what they preached.
Rajtilak Naik was on the spot to record the great demonstration for posterity.
