Today morning in the social media I saw one post by the AAP member Anthony D’Souza from Calangute saying, under
the guidance of the candidate of AAP in
Calangute constituency in the forthcoming ZP election Mr. Manuel Cardoso and their
few colleagues, up to 5th of this month distributed, free of charge, food
items/rations to some needy locals
totaling to approximately 40 houses and more will follow.
Let me congratulate the AAP in Calangute for doing this type of
wonderful job and thereby indicating to every
voter in the forthcoming election his/her obligation towards AAP. We need now the political parties and
politicians who help the poor and needy more, of course taking into consideration the
integrity, character and discipline of the candidates and their parties. No
doubt, it is better late than never but at least it was a good job undertaken
by the AAP.
According to the latest news, Congress Party welcomed the decision of
the government to cut the MP’s salaries. I feel this cut is peanuts compared to
other luxuries they receive at the cost of tax payers money. This cut in the
salaries of MP’s should not be temporary till current Corona Virus is subsided
but it should be permanently. Our MP’s
are living the life of Maharajas creating non-egaliterian society. Why our ministers should live in Goa in big Bungalows
at Altinho Panjim? Why they need posh
foreign brand cars? Some of them till
recently were riding 2 wheelers and born
in the “Khomtti”.
Because of these luxuries beyond their imagination, they tempt to use
corrupt practices to get elected and in the bargain promote and allow
corruption in the country. This is the
greatest evil India is suffering making
Indian democracy a big joke.
By the way are we worthy of this surplus democracy for us in the midst
of large scale financial poverty where our voters are become purchasable commodities? Some of our candidates especially those
contesting successfully twice and above also holding ministerial positions are acting
like Dadas wherein they can either make you or mar you, they have on their pay lists
especial manpower to do any dirty and cruel jobs for them. Their money power is so great that by making
money thru corrupt practices they
accumulated huge amount of money which
they spend during their election contesting to purchase the votes from the most
disgraceful and the third class voters.
