This refers to the news
item in Herald dated 20.11.15 under the caption “Congress decides to stay away
from tainted politicians”. Almost every
Congressman is a tainted one and because of this they lost in the last
election. However, if still some from this rank survived like Ranes, Digambar,
Monsurate and others, it was only because of their personal rapport they built
thru fair or unfair means, with their voters.
Otherwise, let Congress Party in Goa display its guts to deny them
election tickets. Congress Party is
becomes a slave of these heavyweights.
If Congress Party wishes
to maintain its presence in the Legislative Assembly then it must condescend
from its old pride and align with the anti-BJP forces just as it did in
Bihar. Otherwise, not only Congress
Party as a whole will extinguish from Goa but even its traces too will
disappear from Goa. Congress must
support and align with the third front since individually it will fail because
people in Goa hate Congress because Congressmen in the past looted Goa to amass
wealth for them and their families. The
wealth of defeated Congressmen and Old guards will justify my statement.
The worst culprits in
Congress Party are the defeated candidates who in no way should be re-nominated
because people oppose them for this reason they were voted out by the voters in
thelast election. In their places young and new faces should be promoted.
While this experiment
is done, to support the unity of secular forces under one banner to fight the
next election, Goa Church must also play its role to fortify this move. Under BJP we saw how communalism and narrow
parochialism is surfacing in Goa. This
has to be stopped by dethroning BJP thru alignment of all the likeminded
anti-BJP forces.
