Over a month ago, a delegation of some residents from one Vaddo
below my nose went to meet the village Sarpanch in his office to discuss one
particular topic. In the course of their discussion, the
Sarpanch used the life threatening language against the leader of the
delegation saying “I can liquidate you easily by using my manpower meaning
“goondas”. This he said in front of others. One of the
elderly members of the delegation asked the Sarpanch not to speak like this
because you being a Sarpanch it is not good for you to talk like this. This is the goonda language spoken by goondas
and the said Sarpanch is one perfect goonda enjoying full support from the 2
gangs of the local Ghantti residents residing as full fledged citizens of their
locality and Goa as well. By the way, these Ghanttis who are settled in our
villages, have anyone noticed whether their names from the voters list in the
localities they come from are cancelled?
Is it not the job of our local Panchayat before issuing them the voting
cards?
Since this is the case, it is imperative now for every activist in
that locality to inform the authorities concerned about the use of muscle power
by the Sarpanch. If any local activist is
physically attacked directly or thru remote control by using the Ghantti
goondas or any other goondas, the first person to be blamed will be the said
Sarpanch. It is very disturbing that
this Sarpanch a regular Church goer and recipient of Holy Cmmunion and above
all having a priest in the family, has
reached to such a barbaric level. This goonda Sarpanch when he first
time came to Goa, he was like a refugee but when he entered into the local politics,
he became lakhpoti or may be crorepoti by looting the Panchayat. Issuing of every construction License fetches
the Panchayat Lakhs of rupees which goes into the pockets of Panchayat
members. Membership as Panches of the
Panchayat is the big money making business.
The rascals who were fit to be the Pimps selling even their wives and
sisters, by demanding bribe for Panchayati work made lakhs and crores. For this
reason they don’t retire easily unless they are kicked out. These Pimps are so shameless that even if you
strip them of their clothes they will say nothIng.
My point here is this, is it fair to use threatening language by
the said Sarpanch who himself is the non-Goan Ghantti from Karnataka? People from
that locality must think carefully whether this man is fit to be their Sarpanch
when their village is historically known as the most prominent village in whole
of Goa giving birth to the most prominent sons of Goa. This Sarpanch is the perpetual defector changing political parties like
changing his Undewear.
Please note that all the authorities concerned that the life for
the activists in our localities is going to be difficult because of the hurdles
put in front of the activists to prevent them from raising their voices against
the Salazarism and Hitlerism of such disgraceful village based leaders whose
only motto in life is to accumulate wealth by hook or by crook. These village based leaders coming from
Ghanttar are a curse on our villages in particular and Goa in general. The leadership of our villages are given to
them not by the voters directly but by the elected Panchas who are interested
only in their quota of bribe. Otherwise,
they are nothing and they are not capable of doing anything. They are not visionary because they lack
vision. That they are useless one can
make out from the zero level development they did in their respective
Wards. The only best job that they do is
to harass their enemies to indicate their personal anger and revenge. Who are
these politicians who take their personal revenge by using the public
platform? They are all big ‘Bastards”
and because they are Bastards they Bastardise their power and position in the
Panchayat. People got them elected not
to take their revenge against their personal enemies but people got them
elected to do something good and not take their personal revenge.
