Congratulations to the
Democratic system existing in Goa and this democratic election process that has
just completed by electing 40 MLA’s is to be applauded. Kudos to all the
defeated candidates for accepting their defeat
democratically.
Congress
Party deserves highest compliments for
coming back from the worst defeat it suffered from BJP, thanks for their
apology and forgiveness they sought from the Goans for being rude, arrogant and
corrupt in their previous tenures. It is
good for the major portion of Goans to forgive Congress and give them again
majority of MLA’s in this election. It is up to them now to prove their worth and
their maturity by following the democratic methods to form their next ministry without creating
rifts among themselves. Congressmen are
known in Goa as power hungry and to get it they will even initiate defection as
it happened in the past. The power hungry youngsters in the party must be warned in advance not to play mischief at the time of ministry formation. The oldies in the party especially the former CM's must act sensible otherwise they will destroy what has been gained in this election.
Congressmen must now
respect their voters who reposed their trust in them again to act sensible and
for God sake please do not fight for ministerial berths. What is imperative now is to dethrone BJP from
power and for that you asked the voters to give you the mandate which was
finally given to you however slim it may be. We cannot afford to hand over
power again to the communal party that
acts in an arrogance way. Let all the wrong decisions done by the
previous government be undone starting with “Madd” to be reconverted into “Madd”.
The defeat of Parsenkar
was a very bitter defeat due to his blindness towards the genuine grievances of
the people and his arrogance even though I admire his immediate decision to resign as CM
however, his statement that Goans made a big mistake by giving a fractured
mandate is itself his big mistake.
The elected government must now work for the good of Goa and Goans without
being partial only towards their supporters.
