In today’s Herald dated
17.07.16, in his interview with Herald, MLA from Fatorda Constituency and a
stalwart of the newly formed Party “Goa Forward”, Vijay Sardesai declared saying “I CANNOT GO BACK TO THE
CONGRESS”.
Well said Vijaybab and
you should not go back. It is not you
who need Congress to gain power back but just the opposite. As a face saving device and for its survival Congress must join the
alliance otherwise what is little remaining of Congress in Goa will that also extinguish. Congress under the current leadership is a
sinking ship and if it goes alone for the coming election then it will meet
with the fate of Titanic.
People in Goa
especially once its backbone are averse to Congress because it has destroyed
Goa during its nasty rule in Goa. It encouraged
its leaders and rulers to loot Goa and act as “Dadas” thereby turning them into
artificial Hitlers and Maharajas. There
is no accountability of the disproportionate wealth they have accumulated. I
have one such leader below my nose and likewise there innumerable of them all
over Goa who looted poor Goans. To punish these looters and extortionists, in
the last election people in Goa especially the supporters of Congress Party
revolted against it with a powerful defeat.
Now, the same people
have vowed to completely annihilate Congress Party from Goa. In view of this, it is better for Congress
Party to fight the next election by remaining in the shadow of other parties in
a form of Alliance. Hence, it is of paramount
importance for Congress to join the grand alliance to contest the coming election where everyone
wants to dethrone BJP. If the common
goal of every party is the same including that of Congress then why the hitch of joining the Alliance?
Is Luizin Faleiro
putting a blockade? If yes then what he thinks Congress will win on its own? Even if hundred Luizins join together nothing
will happen. The rating of Congress in
Goa gone down with the exit of John Fernandes.
