Very shortly Goa will elect two MP’s to represent Goa in the Lokh Saba, Delhi. During the last so many years since Goa was annexed by Bharat we sent number of MP’s to Parliament but Goans in general were not satisfied with their performances. All eyes now are focussed on South Goa candidates because the prominent South Goa candidates in the past have shown their greed for their personal benefits and not for what they promised. THOUGH South Goa in the past have done great service for the cause of Goa. It saved Goa from the claws of merger of Goa with Maharastra by giving a resounding victory for Two Leaves in the Opinion Poll. If it was not for the voters of South Goa, we today would be under the umbrella of Maharastra with Marathi as our official language and eating and spitting red Panpotti as our new culture.
During the language agitation South Goans have done great justice for Konkani cause by fully supporting Konkani language agitation openly and directly. For any good cause of Goa and Goans, South Goans immediately take a stand in support of Goa but in the recent past South Goan voters elected candidates who did disservice for Goa and Goan causes. The noted Goan Aya Ram and Gaya Ram is from South Goa only. In the forthcoming election, Mathanay Saldanah will be contesting on behalf of UGDP. Can South Goan voters trust Mathanay any more when in the past as a MLA in Goa Legislative Assembly he betrayed the trust of Cortalim constituency by rejecting his own party and joining communal BJP? Can any sensible voter elect him now knowing his selfish background? Can Goa lover South Goans cast their votes in favour of Mathanay in the coming election when he disgracefully embraced a communal party BJP that sucked Christians by cutting the Good Friday Holiday of Christians? When BJP under the leadership of Parrikar was harassing Christians in Goa, Mathanary Saldanha as a member of Parrikar clan was watching Christian harassment silently. He then had no guts to question Parrikar and stop Parrikar from harassing Christians.
In view of this, all the Christian voters of Salcette if they are real Christians and also if they are real sons and daughters of Christian fathers, they will boycott Mathanay Saldanha. Mathanay Saldanha thinks as a “Bhattkar” of Cansaulim he can treat his voters as his “Mundkars”. South Goa Christian voters must teach this BJP “Lembddo” a very good lesson in the coming election by not voting him. He is no more a humble and upright man he once was. He is a corrupt man now for this reason he robbed the trust of his voters and joined anti-Christian communal BJP party earlier and this robbery proved to be his Waterloo in the last Assembly election against Mawvin Godinho.
It is a turn now for South Goan Christian voters to help Goa and Goans by defeating anti- Christian candidates like Mathanay Saldanha. This is the time for South Goan voters especially the Christians to save Goa from communal forces like Mathanay Saldanha. In this connection Gulf Goans in general and Kuwait Goans in particular will have to advise their relatives in Goa to boycott communal candidates and those candidates like Mathanay Saldanha who helps communal forces. Minorities in India and Christians in Goa will never enjoy peace unless BJP and BJP supporters like Mathanay Saldanha are defeated in the coming election. By not voting BJP candidates and candidates who support BJP, Christian voters will do service for Christianity.
Christianity in Goa will lose its strenght if Mathanay Saldanha is elected. Hence, Christian voters from Salcette beware of Mathanay Saldanha. THROW HIM OUT FROM THE COMING ELECTION by voting him out.
