From Kuwait I salute Goa Church for campaigning so vociferously daily during the Masses almost in all the Churches, Old Goa Bom Jesus Basilica and the adjoining Churches deserve highest compliments for impressing upon the faithfuls to elect the good candidates and not the same old corrupt faces. This message of Goa Church finally gone into the heads of Goan Catholics who elected the right candidates by defeating some of the corrupt hevyweights of Congress who were acting like Emperor Neros. That the message of the Church reached correctly to the Catholics in Goa was proved by the defeat of the Congress heavyweights in predominantly Catholic constituencies, namely Calangute, Navelim, Velim, Aldona, Cortalim and many other constituencies.
Even though the BJP is dubbed as anti-Christian yet voting against corrupt candidates was preferred by the Christians. And voting against corrupt Congress candidates was the need of the hour to save Goa from further disaster. This was what exactly Goan voters did by reducing the margin of Congress to just a pitiable 9 Seats compared to the previous 16. Congrees must eat a humble pie now, its topmost stalwarts including Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Pranab Mukerji, Sheila Dikxit all from Delhi by coming to Goa produced no positive result for the Congress in Goa.
Congress is hated in Goa from the time of ouster of Portuguese from Goa, for this reason even during Nehru's time Goans kicked out Congress. That Goans later on embraced Congress was not because of the love of Congress but due to the necessity. Current Congress in Goa is the group of prostitutes and defectors, they are not faithful to Congress principle and on the other side Congress Party is the party of corrupt people for this reason it got kicked not only in Goa but also elesewher.
Never in the past in Goa our Church was so vocal in advising the faithfuls not to vote for the same corrupt old faces. In my village Candolim during the Mass priests were advising regularly the faithfuls not to elect the same old corrupt faces and this was one reason for the people to vote against Agnelo Fernades - two time MLA from Calangute constituency.
Our Church acted exactly the way the Church of Philippines acted a quarter of a century back to defeat the regime of dictator Ferdinand Marcos there.
The major credit for the defeat of Congress in this election should go to Goa Church and Its priests who vehemently defended some decency and morality in electing the candidates.
Other than the Church, the youth of Goa also played a very constructive role in defeating some of the most corrupt candidates. So also the Press in Goa mainly the Herald with its magnificent and bold editorials to liquidate the corrupt candidates.
Finally witih all my humility, I also played my role however small it may be thru my writings in goa.kranti on the need of destroying the "DADAS" of Goan corrupt politics.
