In my village there is
a small Vaddo called Araddy, its residents were small in number but in the recent past because
of migrants its population is increased. The new settlements where migrants are
settled is also called GHANTTIANCHI Araddy by the locals. This Araddy
officially called as New Araddy where the settlements and the houses built by
the migrants are without planning and in many cases without proper licenses
from the official authorities. In case
of any fire breaks out there then everything will go into flames. The whole area was built haphazardly and
hazardously. According to the locals, the local licensing authority is responsible
for this unplanned and unauthorised settlement zone of migrants. It was the
local Panchayat and MLA of that time responsible for this mess which they made
to create a vote bank for them.
Some of the local
leaders who were ruling the village affairs including the current chief are
guilty of permitting to construct the Araddy settlement illegally and yet again
they are ruling the village now. They
are not proper administrators to rule the village, this is the quality of the people who are
ruling in our villages. If such “Ghorvam Rakhne” rule our villages then there
will be nothing good in our villages.
Especially, when non Goans and non-locals are given an opportunity to
rule our localitis then these non-locals will do nothing good for the locals
and locality. The non-locals will never
be faithful to our localties, they will be interested in themselves only to
build their own Bunglows, hotels and Restaurants etc. This is very bad and very
sad. I cannot understand how they allowed
the migrants to construct their houses without proper plans and documents? In
fact, the whole settlement at New Araddy looks illegal and such illegal
structures are allowed to construct normally by taking heavy bribe by the loal
rulers. So those responsible to allow
these illegal houses are to be blamed. Can
anyone trust such people to rule our village and constituency? We must reject
them now only before they approach us for our votes again. Moreover by
infiltrating in our Communidades they are harassing the locals also. Very shortly they will finish the
Communidades too.
By allowing illegal
constructions many of our Sarpanchas and Panchas and also MLLA’s built their own financial
empires. Money from where they got? Surely from the heavy bribe they got from
all those ghanttis and migrants. How
suddenly they became lakhpotis when their base and ancestry were so poor? For such rogues politics of corruption is
good and thru this you come to know how disgraceful family background they
have. On top of it they are moving in society shamelessly like barberians after
committing barbarity of bribery and corruption.
Candoicars must now
only start a campaign to demand from the current local leaders and rulers who
and how they allowed the new illegally constructed colony in Araddy and who was
responsible for this. Many of the
eligible non-Goan voters from new Araddy are dual voters, that means they are
voting in Goa as well as also in the regions of their origin or in their birth
places in India from where they are come and settled in Goa. In Goa and in New
Araddy many of the migrants as told to me are selling their votes and because
of this the rascal candidates prefer them because these rascal candidates can
afford to give them money which they accumulate thru loot and bribe. For this
reason, those candidates and parties that are in opposition must start a
campaign thru proper channel to bring this topic to the notice of the Election
Commission or to any other relevant authority to stop this dual voting system.
Meantime, the
leadership of Candolim is in the hands of rogues who are fit only to dictate the
terms to the locals and not to Ghanttis and Migrants. Candoikarani atam tori zaiat zage.
Candolim is the land of
world renowned revolutionaries like Abe Faria and Pintos and recently of Pe.
Chico Monteiro who fought singlehandedly against the government of India. Candolim
is not a land of migrants and ghanttis who are acting like Maharajas and are
ruling our land. We must stop these
ghanttis from ruling in our land as early as possible. One such Ghantti is harassing the locals to
take his personal revenge. This bloody bastard leader is using threathening
language against his opponents as if Candolim is his father’s property when In
fact he does not know who his real father is.
