Margao Has Not Gained Despite Having A Resident CM.
The gong has sounded and the bugle is blown, Ali Baba has finally begun his work in earnest after partying and lazing for five full years. The news that our CM, Digambar Kamat has kick started his campaign and that to with a visit to the Gandhi market in Margao is not surprising at all, blessing between Digambar Kamat and his migrant vote bank have been mutual for a long time now, they do support and bless each other, as they do depend on each other for their very survival.
The last two months or so have been rough on our CM, with all the illegal mining dust being blown in his direction but has survived the onslaught so far and looks confidant of retaining his hold on the most coveted and sought after prized possession within the Goa Vidhan Sabah, to be precise the CM’s chair, the throne that rules thou thee Oh Goa.
The generosity of our conniving politicians just before the election has always been overwhelming, followed by promises and assurances and we all know that our CM is an expert on that front, as he was born with the vital virtue. As he went around his constituency, he has now promised government jobs to the unemployed youth, looks like in the last twelve years there have been no vacancies and no unemployed youth in his constituency and all of a sudden today he has realized otherwise and promised to give government jobs to his unemployed youth.
But, what I fail to understand is, when did he get the Goa Employment Exchange for dowry ? How can he give jobs so easily to the youth of his constituency when our Employment Exchange has been at a standstill for decades ? Or is the recruitment to government jobs his own personal family business ? After more than a decade he has now realized that the youth in his constituency need jobs ? Is he not aware that the unemployment in Goa has skyrocketed and that the entire youth of Goa has the right to government jobs and not just his damned constituency ? All these years’ jobs have been sold to insiders and outsiders for a hefty price as a result of which our Employment Exchange has been forced to a standstill and its numbers have been ever increasing.
What is the point of an Employment Exchange if our politicians tend to distribute and sell jobs to whom they please and as they please ? It is extremely unfair and unfortunate, for the youth who have turned old in their long wait for a government job and still, their turn is yet to come. That is one basic reason why we need our Employment Exchange to be transparent and free form political clout and influence. Employment Exchange to function at its best surely needs autonomy and transparency, under the ambit of the RTI act, only then our Employment Exchange can move forward and nepotism and prejudice can be wiped out.
Today our corrupt politicians need to disperse artificial inducements to get votes as they fail in their commitment to the people at large, because of which anxiety has replaced anticipation, now that their actions have amplified their indiscretions and perfidy. So it’s not at all surprising that CM, Digambar Kamat is soliciting in the streets of his constituency in an attempt to refurbish his now flagging image.
Madgaokars know that all of his last pre election promises are yet to be fulfilled, as garbage is still a major problem in Margao, along with the traffic chaos and woes, crime and robberies frequent occurrences, if not daily, Monti Dongor still an aberration, water and power scarce as ever, markets as messy as ever, the Comba underpass still in dire state, even finding a parking slot is become as difficult as finding an honest politician and the Costa ground issue is still not a closed chapter, so what has actually Margao gained by having it’s resident as the Chief Minister of Goa ? If he cannot take care of his own backyard, how can he take care of Goa ? Madgaokars time to ponder and act !

CHURCHILL ALEMAO BOOED IN SHHARJAH.
Worthy Occasion Turned Unworthy.
Last weekend, the13th October was like any other weekend in the UAE, except for the fact that the one time cause of sleepless nights of a lot of Goan males and who had once held sway on the Konkanni stage along with her late husband for many a decades, the one and only Rita Rose was suppose to be live on stage at the Sharjah Church hall along with the undisputed queen of Goan melody, the exceptionally unique Lorna was enough to send a lot of us on a leather hunt for tickets.
Lorna I had met here in Dubai before but I had not seen Rita Rose live for a good many years, and I was very eager but due to some unavoidable circumstances my pals and I reached just when the second song was being sung and It was a good performance, then came Lorna to the boisterous and rousing ovation and she did not disappoint us, the power of her vocals has not diminished at all and her energy levels must have given a lot of youngsters a complexity, comparatively and surprisingly Rita’s performance was subdued but none the less enjoyed seeing her on stage and even today she looks marvelous, she has lost some pounds but still appealing none the less. Seeing the two greatest Konkanni singers on stage together was surely “paisa vasool”.
It was then the cat was let out of the bag, this program was a birthday celebration of our Goan priest Rev. Fr. Rodson of the Sharjah Church, a priest who has captured the hearts, minds and imaginations of many a people in this part of the world. Some years ago he was invited for the Novenas and the feast of St. Francis Xavier and the impact of his preaching was so great that the Sharjah Parish priest asked the Church Authorities in Goa for the services of Rev. Fr. Rodson on a permanent basis, since then people have just been flocking to the Sharjah Church in the hope of getting to listen to his sermons.
It was nice of the all those involved in organizing and bringing his parents for this celebration, it was indeed a pleasant surprise for Rev. Fr. Rodson himself to find his parents at the celebration and he was lost for words. Rev. Fr.Rodson has been a priest who have had a tremendous effect on the entire Catholic community of Sharjah and more so the youth. Sharjah will be eternally grateful for his services and we all wish him all the health, joy, peace, love and happiness as he works in the Vineyard of the Lord.
Along with the surprise presence of the Parents of Rev. Fr. Rodson there was also another bigger surprise awaiting us, the imposing figure of the PWD Minister of Goa in spotless whites, which was in complete violation to the virtue that he carries, yet again trying to fool people, of what he stands for. His very presence indeed defiled the otherwise worthy occasion. As he was invited to say a few words, loud boos greeted him and the very sight of him walking to the stage made me sick to the pit of my stomach and I left the hall to relieve myself and into the compound, on my way back I was fortunate enough to meet Rita Rose and had the opportunity of a one on one talk with her, I will indeed treasure the few minutes with the Konkanni stage deity for a long long time.
As the program continued there were constant boos thrown in the direction of the PWD minister and it got only worse when the so called Dubai trio, projected the PWD minister as a worthy CM and unfurled his picture on stage, which was utter blasphemy if there was ever one. Looked like the Dubai trio, are certainly feeding on the crumbs of the PWD Minister and possibly expecting sponsorships for their endeavors in the near future, they criticized Digambar Kamat but were unfortunately singing paeans of the bigger anomaly than Kamat, it was bootlicking at its worst.
I did make my feelings very clear to the person who held his portrait while singing, after the show in no uncertain terms. It would have certainly been better for them to keep his portrait at their respective homes and worship him with incense rather then unfurl it at this worthy occasion, even Rev. Fr. Rodson was feeling out of sorts in the presence of the anomaly, but what else could he do, the boot lickers had invited him for his birthday celebrations. The essence and the beauty of the birthday celebrations of Rev. Fr. Rodson were certainly undone by the presence of this anomaly called Churchill Alemao and that too in spotless whites, a man with white on the outside, while filled with muck inside.
Even though all the people love and respect Rev Fr. Rodson, it was indeed unfortunate that some just could not help but boo the PWD Minister and if it wasn’t for the birthday, I am sure the boos would have grown in intensity and frequency. I humbly request to the organizers and the Sharjah Goan Community, not to dilute the essence of such beautiful and meaningful celebrations by inviting corrupt and anti Goan politicians. There is an age old adage in Konkanni “Ami atrun polloun paim sodche”. If we cannot afford entertainment without the sponsorships of our corrupt politicians please do not go for it, we Goan would prefer to stay home than to be a part of the celebrations sponsored by the blood money derived from selling and raping Goa.
