CLEARING THE POLITICAL GARBAGE
By Aires Rodrigues
The much needed electoral reforms may never see the light of the day. The current political rot however cannot continue. Goa could lead by example if there is a consensus within all political parties to cleanse the political arena. The coming Assembly elections may be an opportunity to show the way.
Those over the age of 65 should be put to pasture. Also under no condition should more than one in a family be allowed to contest. There should be no exceptions. In a democracy there can be no room for nepotism and dynasty politics. Power concentrated in the hands of a few families is detrimental and suicidal to the welfare of our State.
MLA’s are elected to enact good and sound legislations and not to supervise hot mixing of roads and construction of culverts. So it is essential that every candidate should at least be a graduate in any faculty, except corruption.
Electing all 40 new faces may not be ideal as we need a combination of experience and fresh blood to ensure that the MLA’s discharge their responsibilities to rescue Goa from the woods. Can Goa accept this challenge and deliver?
