The irrelevant and funny fast of Narendra Modi and his elevation in BJP rank making him the top contender for premiership of India finally brightened the prospects of Congress. Because of the all round corruption by Congressmen and also because of Anna Hazare’s fast the rating of Congress came to an ebb. However, because of Narendra Modi’s projection as topmost leader of BJP, Congress will cash on Modi’s faults to gain electoral leverage in the coming election to downgrade BJP and win the next election. People in India in greater number will surely oppose Modi and while opposing Modi voters will surely oppose BJP and on this pretext voters will vote for Congress because at least as seen externally Congress is more secular but definitely not BJP. According to my dictionary, BJP means Anti-Minorities and its anti-minorities impact thru its hatred for Muslims was clearly and openly noticed in the demolition of Babri Masjid. And in places like Goa if BJP wins the election it may by citing historical evidences demolish many Churches including that of my village Candolim.
Coming to Goa, now there are moves initiated by hungry for power Goan Christians to support BJP in the coming election. They cite an example of Parrikar as a good administrator but they fail to accept the fact that Parrikar is the member of BJP which controls the entire working of Parrikar and all other BJP members in favour of BJP principle of “hatred towards minorities”. When Parrikar was ruling Goa under BJP banner we saw how minorities in Goa were harassed even to the extent of hurting the religious sentiments of the Christians when their religious holidays were withdrawn. During that particular period in Goa Christians were given step-motherly treatment in the government jobs while those coming from BJP cadre were given preferential treatment.
In Goa, BJP should be treated as anti-Christian party and those Christians supporting this party and contesting election on this party symbol should be treated as enemies of Christians. Recently one Christian asked me to support him in his election campaign on BJP ticket. I asked him "what guarantee you will give BJP will not act against Christians?" He said "don’t worry, nothing of that sort will take place". I said "when BJP introduced anti-Christian decisions in Goa the Christian leaders in BJP namely Mathanay Saldanha and D’Souza from Mapusa remained like cockroaches allowing BJP to destroy Christians and Christianity in Goa". Then I asked him "what guarantee is there you will not support BJP’s anti-Christian activities by being inside the BJP Umbrella?" Still he said "not to worry, rely on me to do justice". I said "a man like Mathanay Saldanha became slave of BJP because of power and money, what are you my friend?" "And all those Christians who contest the election on BJP tickets are hungry for power and money. I have no trust in your uprightness, I told him finally because you are traitors and all Christians who support BJP are traitors".
The problem in Goa is that we don’t have a strong leader to lead and direct minorities. Mathanay has failed us by hiding under the petticoat of BJP for the financial gains. Christians from Cortalim, Cansaulim and Mapusa should not allow their votes to Saldanha and Desouza respectively. Both proved to be traitors by supporting BJP blindly. They had no marbles in their Pants to oppose BJP’s anti-Christian decisions. They are Judases of Goa and also all those Christians who support BJP in the coming election are to be considered as Judases. Christianity in Goa is in danger under BJP and if it comes to power in Goa the life and wellbeing of Christians in Goa will be in danger. Under BJP rule in Goa, Christians’ lives and security will be in danger. Under BJP Christians will be treated as Jews in Germany under Hitler’s Nazism.
BJP is number one communal; at all India level it has hatred for Muslims as if Indian Muslims are anti-Indian. Indian Muslims are as pro-Indian as any other pro-India Indian. With the establishment of separate homeland for Muslims from India, Pakistan kept its doors opened for all Indian Muslims to come there and settle in Pakistan but all the patriotic Muslims from India remained in India only proving their patriotism to India and not to Pakistan. No doubt some Muslims in India are bad that does not mean all other Muslims in India are also bad. Just because Hindu Brahmin (Of Horizontal cadre) Godse killed father of the nation Mahatma Ghandhi that does not mean all Hindus are bad.
It is a hard fact that during the colonial era minorities in India were very well treated and protected by the law makers and law enforcers but under the liberated India minorities are living in fear, they are afraid of their lives and their identity as their status as minorities invites hatred and dislike for them from the communal parties like BJP, Shiv Sena and other such Senas. Our elders fought for freedom to gain equality in all respects for all but in independent India minorities face more inequality and under BJP it is going to be worst.
In Goa those Christians contesting the coming election should be asked publicly and openly during their electioneering how they will oppose BJP’s anti- Christian activities and anti-minorities approaches by their being in BJP. According to the reports coming from Goa some heavyweight Saxttikars are going to collaborate with BJP to support BJP to form new government once they get elected. In this situation the Saxttikar voters should be very vigilant not to allow this to happen. The voters electing candidates contesting the coming election on non-BJP tickets should be made openly and publicly to declare their total allegiance to the their own parties only without joining any other party, not even lending support to BJP from outside. Heavy pressure should be brought on Churchill Alemao even by making him PUBLICLY swear upon Vailankani Saiinn that he will neither join BJP nor support BJP in any manner. \and if he is a real Churchill Alemao he will do this.
Saxttikar my brothers and sisters, because of Goa you have done lot of sacrifices. Now it is going to be your turn again to save Goa by squeezing the marbles of all the “Rostad” politicians who are going to support BJP once they are elected. Don’t allow these Rostad politicians to say “Voters boslet Konkear”, once they are elected. This is the right time to teach a very good lesson to all the defection oriented politicians. They have fooled the Voters and Goans enough. We should put an end to their cheating now once and for all. By getting our votes they are cheating us only. This should be stopped once and for all for the good of Goa and Goans.
