WHY THIS SILENCE OF OUR MLA'S?

Since the murder of Fr. Bismark, Goa is in turmoil and government and all the legislators are aware of this incident very well.  Because of this one full Goan community is alienated from the ruling BJP party government though some members of BJP are keeping their feeling suppressed fearing they may be reprimanded by BJP leadership if they raise this topic openly.  It is surprising that even the non-BJP members in the Goa Legislative Assembly are not coming forward to raise this issue to enquire who killed and how Fr. Bismark died thugh government machinery declares it is an accidental drowning death.  Can we swallow these cunning capsules of the government?  Where is Vijay Sardesai, Rohan Kaunte and Reginaldo Lorenco gone now?  Why they cannot raise this issue in the Assembly? 

Reginaldo Lorenco was once very active in Panjim along with other agitators in front of Police Station to demand justice for Fr. Bismark but in the Goa Assembly he is silent surprisingly. 

 

I admire my friend Irineu for raising this issue in Facebook drawing the attention on this subject of innumerable readers.  Well done Irineubab.  

Gentlemen you may remain silent on this topic now but we will never when you come for asking for our votes for you during the next general election. As for me, I will raise this issue of the silence of our candidates contesting elections in our constituency when they come to our doors like beggars to canvass votes for them.  Raising this issue at that juncture wil be the real test of our democracy.

WE NEED TO KNOW POLITICIANS' INCOME.

Babush is not Goa and Goa is not Babush and hence the victory of his panel in Panjim Municipality election could not be taken as the barometer for gauging the mood of Goan voters for the forthcoming Assembly election.  However, this victory was a direct slap on BJP’s misrule of Goa and inefficiency of Congress. It is a direct humiliation for Parricar who personally came from Delhi to canvass votes for his BJP contestants.  This indicates that BJP wave and Parricar charisma is waning because people in Goa have realized that BJP and Parricar are liars and cannot be trusted to fulfill any of their promises.

Now, in the forthcoming Assembly election it is my warning to Congress Party in particular and BJP and other parties in general not to hoist on us, the voters the candidates without our consent.  It is become customary for these political parties to hoist on us any “Ladru-Pedru” with questionable character.  This time we will oppose such questionable characters. 

We need a clean candidate from every Party and we want to analyse his source of income – how he acquired his asset and other details including his activities in the past.  Most of the candidates imposed on us by Congress Party were known to acquire enormous amount of wealth thru unfair means when they were in Panchayat members where the biggest loot is happening.  Most of the Panchayat members in the coastal areas are known to acquire wealth thru illicit means, by threatening the locals, by extorting  bribe  for issuing illegal licences for constructing Hotels and houses.  The most glaring example of these illicit activities is in my locality.  Otherwise how a man coming from economically “Ladru-Pedru” family background could come in possession of a fleet of most expensive cars and chain of hotels?    And otherwise how a semi Goan being partially a Madrasi erect Bungalows spending lakhs of rupees?  What is his source of income to create such an asset?

ALLIANCE OF NON-BJP PARTIES IS A MUST.

The eminent jurust Nani Palkivala advised the Janata Party when it went for the Polls in 1977, to introduce a legislation in the Parliament to UNDO all the draconian laws introduced by Indira Gandhi during the Emergency and convert all her legislations as Nul and Void.

In the same manner, the Non-BJP Parties must promise the voters voting in the forthcoming election to UNDO all the wrong decisions taken by the BJP during its current term. 

However, before this, all the Non-BJP Parties must come to a very firm conclusion of forming an alliance of all the independent parties with Seat adjustment and Seat sharing procedure to fight the next election in order NOT to split the votes and give the advantage to BJP.

In this respect, Congress Party must take a lead to form this alliance.  As a major national Party,  Congress must condescend to initiate this move.  In case Congress Party thinks it will defeat BJP on its own without taking support of other parties then Congress Party is sadly mistaken.  Luizin Faleiro and Digvijay must do the homework very thoroughly to draw the strategy to uproot the BJP government from Goa otherwise BJP will uproot Gons from Goa.

Though Babush is not Goa yet he in the just concluded Panjim Municipality election proved that neither the BJP nor Congress are going to create any impact in the next election.  For this reason Congress if it is serious to finish BJP in the next election then alliance of non-BJP parties is imperative and to form this alliance Congress Party must take the lead.
