Shashikala Asks The Youth To Emulate Dr Ambedkar
Former Chief Minister Ms Shashikala Kakodkar calls upon the youth topropagate the ideas and principles of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, whatideas were propagated by her in her younger days and as the politicalleader of Goa ? Practice what you preach should be the norm followedby one and all. Instead of calling on the youth she should have beencalling on the present breed of politicians to follow Dr Ambedkar andchange their corrupt and communal ideologies. If at all a change isneeded, it the ploitical elite of Goa that need to be bathed andscrubbed till their skins of corruption and communalism are peeled offand grafted with the skin Dr Ambedkar's ideologies, as they themselvesshould have been role models to the youngesters who are looking uptothem for deliverance.
There is no doubt Dr Ambedkar was the epitome of honesty andintegrity, he also worked tirelessly for unity and the upliftment ofthe downtrodden, especially from the lower strata of society.
Has she followed in Dr Ambedkar’s footsteps to eradicate poverty andthe cast system, help the poor and the downtrodden ? If so, even afterher party being in power for over two decades, how come the people ofthe lower strata are still insecure and lag behind socially andeconomically ?
The love for the poor and the downtrodden should not be seasonal orwhen elections are round the corner, it should be professed andpracticed in all seasons.
