Gone John Fernandes and
in his place came Luizin Faleiro as president of Congress Party in Goa. Kudos to John for displaying his guts to show
the door to those so called Congressmen for doing anti-party activities. With such anti-party members in the party,
Congress will never make progress when it is required especially now when its
image is very low. There should be some
discipline in the party and those who infringe on this discipline deserve
reprimand and this is what exactly John did but unfortunately resulting in his replacement not by any messiah
but by the one who was earlier got himself rotten in the mess of Congress misrule.
Come Luizin or his
father or grandfather from the grave but Congress will never resurrect from the
Hell it was confined by the Goan voters in the last Assembly and Parliamentary
elections unless the Congressmen firmly resolve to change their attitude. In the last Assembly election it got heavy
drubbing from the voters not because they love BJP but because they hated
pride, arrogance, dadagiri, looting and feudality of the elected
representatives of Congress party. Every elected Congressman acted and lived
like a feudal lord surpassing the life style and behavior of Maharaja. They all
in Goa kicked the discipline of socialism as preached by their earlier party
stalwarts.
By virtue of being
Congressmen every Congressman must imbibe at least some minimum qualities of
Gandhiji by living a simple life thereby identifying him with the masses. But
once they got power they forgot their humble past and started living as
aristocrats by looting the public money and leading the pompous life. When Luzin Faleiro was the Chief Minsiter of
Goa he lived the life of a Viceroy with heavy police escort as if somebody is
coming to kidnap him. So much so, I was
told even his cats and dogs were provided with police escorts in addition to
his domestic servants. And after his exit from CM chair he became a commoner
and yet nobody kidnapped him nor touched his shadow. So why the pomp when he was CM? Can’t it be eradicated thereby saving the
government coffers? What was the need to
live at Altinho in a posh government provided Bungalow when he was CM? Was it
a status symbol? It is not only
he but all the ministers do the same once they got the fortfolios. It is thru this life style they create a
wedge between them and the common people forcing them to vote them out in the
election as they did in the last elections.
What I noticed from
below my eyes was that almost every congress representative who was kicked out
by the voters was a deserving loser because of his pride, arrogance, feudality,
dadagiri, loot and sinful life when he was Congress MLA or Minister. These defeated Congressmen in the last election
should never be renominated, it is they who got the image of Congress soiled,
they are not only a disgrace on society but also a curse on Congress. Will Luizin act appropriately in sidelining
all these curses? If not, history will
repeat itself and Congress will once again face the most humiliating defeat in
the next general election. Will Luizin
work to avert this defeat? I doubt very much knowing from past experience of
Luizin’s politics of defection into Goa Congress for his selfish benefit.
The High Command and
Low Command of Congress do not want Congress to win the next election and
precisely because of this both the Commands sacked John Fernandes and backed
Luizin Faleiro whose potential to bring back the glory to Congress is finished
unless he himself changes to his humble living of his pre-MLA era and not of
post MLA/Minister era like a prideful feudal lord.
