During his last visit to Goa while performing his Yatra, BJP Leader Advani according to available information had a meeting with the Church leaders to discuss the BJP agenda on its communal bias. The results of this discussion was not to my knowledge disclosed, yet it was a good beginning.
Said Gandhji, “India does not need political workers for its upliftment but Social Workers”. In Goa there are very many social workers and their groups striving for the good of Goa. They should join together and collectively as one unit meet the BJP leadership under Parrikar to discuss its agenda for the forthcoming election.
Christian leaders must make a point to call a meeting with Parrikar to get an assurance from BJP leadership that if elected to form the next government in Goa, BJP will never use its power against Christians as it has done in the past.
On the basis of Parrikak’s assurance, Christians as a whole must decide to vote for BJP candidates or no. Alternative to rogue Congress Party is a must now and if BJP discards its communal hatred towards minorities in general and Christians in particular then Christians in general in Goa should think positively. The only irritant in BJP is its communal agenda which it must delete from its hidden manifesto.
BJP’s greatest defect is its communal stand against Christians in Goa and they have openly shown this inspite of having in its fold two Christian MLA’s who both remained as traitors as Judases. Our Christians problem in Goa is that we don’t have a faithful leader to fight for our cause. Mathanay Saldanah and D;Souza from Mapusa both proved to be impotent to confront Parrikar when BJP harassed Christians by cutting Christian holidays and also by ignoring Christians in government jobs. Christians felt hurt when BJP under Parrikar worked against the interest of their religion. That time our both Christians partners in the BJP government acted like purchased commodities by BJP.
Taking advantage of BJP’s biased against Christians, Congress gets Christians votes of course undeservingly but Christians have no other choice but to support Congress however much corrupt Congress may be. The fear of Christians of BJP is very deep rooted because of the sins of BJP against Christians in the past.
This fear from the minds and hearts of Christians BJP can remove only by openly assuring Goan Christians that if voted to power, BJP will not give step motherly treatment to Christians in Goa and will never interfere in their religious rites and formalities.
Can any of the social workers in Goa who is interested in the good results in the coming election come forward to meet the BJP leadership under Parrikar to get an assurance in favour of Christians and also of other minorities?
