Finally, both the major
parties have declared their candidates for the Lokh Sabah elections, the North
Goa candidate of Congress would have been better if he was allowed to function as chief of the Conggress
party only because since he took over the leadership, the sagging image of the
party has improved a lot and thus keeping him there would have been much
better.
Anyway, now since everything has
been done, I wish him all the best. The South Goa candidate should declare
openly if necessary even by swearing upon his holy book “Bible” that he will
remain faithful to his Congress Party and also to the voters by not defecting
because he was the architect of giving the foothold and strengthening of BJP in
Goa when he like a “Pamprel” flirted with Parricar’s BJP in Goa. He is such a
shameless creature that for acquiring power and money he will stoop to any
level. He is a man without having any dignity, if he had any dignity he would
never return back into Congress fold. On the other hand Congress Party is
become the party of rejected persons where it is dominated by the corrupt oldies.
Both the Congress candidates must declare now only that when they are elected,
how they will utilize the funds available at their disposal for the benefit of
Goans. Because there is every possibility for Sardinha to misuse it for his
benefit.
In the past when he was a MP
how he used this fund? Can he tell this openly otherwise voters from the South
must force him to open out this secret. He is capable of committing any type of
crime because he already got an experience earlier to commit most disgraceful
crime of dissociating from Congress and sleeping with Parricar. The people from the South must warn Sardinha
not to play with his “Cheddioponam” anymore.
Both the BJP candidates
must openly declare what utility they did of these funds during their last term
and earlier too if they are re-elected and what will be their next move
vis-à-vis these funds? They must also openly declare what were their
superlative achievements as MP’s with regards to the cause of Goa and Goans. I
understand their presence for such a long period in the Lokh Sabah went
unnoticed much of the time.
In Parliament there are
some sleeping members who are a shame on their electorate and since this is the
case I want our MP’s to be alert. Our both MP’s
have miserably failed in solving the mining problem of Goa. When they cannot
arrange an appointment for the sufferig Goans with the Prime Minister in Delhi
even they belong to the same BJP Party, what is their status then? Why re-elect such useless people when they
are rejected by the premier? The people affected by the mining crisis that were
initiated first by the BJP only, must throw out both the BJP nominees. In fact,
I have no trust in them to do anything good for Goa.
