The results of the
recently concluded Zilla Parishad election gave a stunning blow to the Congress
Party in Goa though it officially did not contest the election. In the constituencies where Congress
contested unofficially but backing their candidates from behind the curtain, it
was a big humiliation for Congress Party headed by Goa’s prodigal son Luizinho
Faleiro who in the name of Italian born naturalized Indian citizen Sonia Gandhi
is trying to revive the prospects of the Congress Party in Goa. According to my observation, even if hundred more
Luizinho Faleiros try their best to revive the hopes of Congress Party in Goa,
nothing will change. It is a pity that
this oldest party is facing extinction from the scene not
only in Goa but all over in India as well.
In my Calangute constituency voters thought a very good lesson to
Congress Party by sending its unofficially fielded candidate reeling down the
canvas to the third position though a few hours before the election results, the local Congress leader foolishly predicted victory for his candidate. This action the voters have taken only to silence
the revengeful voice of the Calangute Congress leader and not against the
candidate who became an innocent victim of the sin of vindictiveness of his
boss.
In view of this heavy defeat for Congress candidate the rating of
Congress Party on the Barometer indicates that the revival prospects of
Congress Party in Calangute constituency is Nil. However, if any hope of revival is to come,
it should come only by discarding the defeated, vindictive and arrogant leader
from the constituency. He was responsible for Congress Party’s defeat in the
last general election because people from the Constituency disliked his
vindictive nature towards those whom he suspected to be his political
opponents. While he was in power people were living in fear because of his
vindictive nature when he should not be vindictive because he was elected not to take revenge
on his opponents but to serve all judiciously. Thru this defeat people indicated that vindictiveness, arrogance, revenge, corruption, bribe taking and womanizing will not be tolerated any more.
Being a Congressman myself from my student days, I feel hurt to see the
Congress Party in Goa reaching to such ebb.
This has happened only because the affairs and leaderships of Congress
Party in our villages and Constituencies have gone into the hands of wrong persons
who are ignorant of genuine Congress culture, tradition and history. Most of the current Congress Party leaders in
Goa are fake Congressmen who embraced Congress Party only for their personal
gains. With such Congressmen in Congress
Party fold, the Party will never revive
its prospects in Goa. When John Fernandes took over the leadership of Congress Party in Goa it looked everything will move smoothly but when he was dethroned things started moving in the opposite direction and if Luizin Faleiro does not act straight with corrupt people in the Party, I am sure he will make a total disaster of Congress Party in Goa. For this end Luizin Faleiro alone will be held responsible.
