ALEMAO – IZATION OF GOAN POLITICS.
Poor Valanka the loving daughter of Churchill Alemao has missed the race just by an inch. She was overtaken by Sardinha who is sure to reach into Lokh Sabah for the second time. By missing the boat Churchill Alemao lost the opportunity to Alemao-ize the Goan politics. I had opportunities twice to meet the young daughter of Churchill during my vacations in Goa, once when I was invited with my wife by Churchill for his grand Silver Wedding Anniversary and once when I went to pay a courtesy visit to Churchill at his residence. Not only Valanka but all the daughters of Churchill whom I met at their place were nice, loving and sweet. According to many, Valanka is more loving among all. Compared to heavy weight politicians Valanka is just a raw politician in Goa moving under the protection of her heavyweight politician father Churchill whose nasty ways of changing political parties like bush coats has created an ill effect on the chances of Valanka.
We need young and educated blood in Goan politics but surely not political novices. Valanka should contribute a lot in the right direction in Goa at political level and must prove to all that she is not only the daughter of Churchill Alemao but surely she is much better than her father as far as political uprightness is concerned. To gain a solid base in Goan politics she must reject her father’s qualities of creating unnecessary disturbances in the smooth running of Goan political life. She must also know that Goa is not just Varca and Navelim and Mormugao constituency. Goa is much beyond that. She must get acceptance of all and to get that acceptance she must reject her father’s policies of changing political parties to suit his conveniences and also she must oppose her father’s policies of changing his decisions every now and again. It is not enough to have a Law Degree to contest the Lokh Saba election. Law degree sometimes can be converted into a show degree. Law degree is not a criteria to get admission into Lokh Sabah.
To get into Lokh Sabah and Vidhan Sabah one has to do lot of good work for the people. A true leader is not the one who is foisted on the people by muscle power, money power or family power but the one who by his or her sheer ingenuity gain acceptance from the populace. Currently, because of her father’s mischief in Goan politics people in Goa are having negative feelings on Alemaos. Before entering into Parliament or Goa State Legislative Assembly, let Valanka change the behaviour of her father which harms Goa and because of this her chances of gaining easy access in Goan politics is hampered. Valanka is a novice in Gan politics but it is her father who plays the whole game of pushing her. Currently due to his dirty political games the image of Churchill Alemao is damaged which surely damaged the image of Valanka as well. For Valanka to gain mileage in Goan politics she must correct her father and this is a big challenge in front of her. Unless she overcomes this challenge, further Alemao-ization of Goan politics should not be allowed especially by the Sasttikars who have unique distinction of saving Goa at the crucial time. These same Saxttikars must not fall prey to Churchill’s political gimmicks anymore.
The greatest enemy of Goa after MGP is BJP which is filled with communalism. Parrikar is number one communalist. Every true Goan who hates communalism in Goa must reject BJP in the forthcoming election by defeating Dr. Wilfred Mesquita. This is the only opportunity for Goans to show BJP that we Goans are rejecting their communal policies. This is the right chance for us, the true Goans, thru our Saxttikar voters to tell Parrikar that we don’t trust him anymore. BJP is a crook party and by pushing Dr. Mesquita BJP is fooling the Chrstians in Goa. BJP is already known to be anti-Christian. Parrikar has already proved how anti-Christian he and his BJP party was when he was ruling Goa with the help of disgraceful Christian MLA’s. Those Christians who will vote for BJP in the coming election for the South Goa Parliamentary Seat they will prove themselves nothing but Judases who finally will commit suicide like traitor Judas, if they vote for Dr. Mesquita.
By making Dr. Mesquita to contest the coming election on their behalf BJP is trying to give Lollipop to the Christians. Christians should now show their power of unity by defeating Dr. Mesquita. It is time now for all the legitimate Christian sons and daughters of their legitimate Christian fathers to reject BJP in this election. Dr. Mesquita is not a genuine Christian nor genuine lover of Christians and because of this he is giving his affiliation to anti-Christian BJP. The priests in all the Churches in South Goa must show their boldness in telling all the Christian voters to reject BJP because BJP is anti-Christian. If our Church and its leaders are really supporting Christians and Christianity in Goa then they will oppose Dr. Mesquita who is nothing but a big chamcha of BJP.
In this Parliamentary election there is no big issue involved to raise in the parliament. But the big issue for genuine Goans and especially Christians is to disgrace communal BJP. By doing this we will prove to Parrikar and his communal BJP that we have not forgotten his anti-Christian activities. Parrikar is a very opportunistic politician. When time comes he disgraces Christians and Christianity otherwise he uses Christians for his own benefits. And unfortunately our Chrsitian chamchas are shamelessly associating with him. Let this election be fought on the plank of Communal against non-communal. BJP is communal. Hence, all out efforts must be made to defeat anti-Christian party BJP by defeating its chrsitian candidate Dr. Wilfred Mesquita who had no shame to accept the nomination from anti-Christian party BJP.
