It is not only the land of the Communidade is on sale and dole but as
per the latest trend, it looks the
entire Communidade system is on sale. According to the recent Press Release
issued by Michael Lobo, Government has acquired about 15 lakhs square metres of
Comunidade land from Candolim and Calangute. Without any opposition did the
share holders of Candolim and Calangute Communidades surrender to this land
acquisition by Michael Lobo and the Government?
By surrendering this land to the Government the shareholders of both the
Communidades gave an impression that they are also in partnership with Michael
Lobo/Government interested in introducing the PDA and ODP. By the way, were there resolutions passed in
both the Communidades to sell or to dole so much of land to the Government? Some of the share holders in both the
Communidades are very close to Michael Lobo and to please him are they ready to
finish the Communidade land?
It seems Michael Lobo is interested in developing Candolim and
Calangute but why not other villages also like Parra, Nagoa and Arpora? By concentrating on Candolim and Calangute is
Michael Lobo giving step motherly treatment to the other villages in his
Constituency? Or Michael Lobo finds
Candolim and Calangute Communidades as Gold Mines after stopping mining in Goa? What are the projects Michael Lobo wants to develop
in Candolim and Calangute? Did he declare
openly these projects to the citizens of these two villages? Is Michael Lobo the owner of both these
villages just because he is an MLA of this area? Will his MLAship not come to
an end? His MLAship is purely a temporary phase and this must not be forgotten
by all who are closely associated with him. Can both the Attorneys of Candolim
and Calangute throw some more light on this?
As it is, I find it very disgusting to see how systematically in an
organized manner In Nagoa and Parra the Communidade land has been usurped by
the interested persons and built Shopping Centres and Housing Complexes which
are lent to the outsiders. This is a
daylight robbery of Communidade land by
those who are close to the government machinery. In this way we will get the influx of
non-Goans who will one day overpower us. And
to facilitate them to gain upper hand in Goa our MLA has already
indicated his decision. It is time now for those who were associating with him
to get him elected in the last election to express their views on this. We cannot
rely to protect Goa and Goans on those who are flirting with non-genuine Goans
whose interest on Goa is only commercial.
