Thank God finally thru
His mercy alone our Seafarers stranded in the seas disembarked in Bombay and after the necessary period required in quarentine,
they will be back soon in the arms of their loved ones and dearest and
also with the nearest. Other than God, nobody should be given the credit for their safely
disembarkation in Bombay, not even the CM Sawant nor his BJP and neither the Central government should take cheap credit for the
success of Seafarers operation. If the
BJP at Center and in Goa and Sawant ministry in Goa had genuine feelings and clear
intention to help these Seafarers then they would all join together and put in
their combined efforts to bring them back to Goa in the beginning itself but no,
they wanted to ignore their issue may be
because they are almost all Christians because Christians looked neglected by
the governing governments. However, if this issue took a serious turn then it
was only because of the nearest and
dearest of Seafarers who made a big noise even by undertaking a hunger strike thereby shaking the credibility
of the Sawant Government and backed by the total support of the Goans to fight
for the cause of Seafarers instead of receiving the time consuming promises by
Sawant. Seafarers association too played
a good role in support of Seafarers
demand.
Nobody among Seafarers
not even their relatives should adore BJP and Sawant ministry and as a mark of gratitude
they should not vote for the BJP but instead they should
oppose the BJP for not rendering timely
assistance to them. What BJP has done for these Seafarers was
nothing but their duty and to do this type of duty they were elected by the
people. However, BJP in keeping in tune
with their rubbish discipline, robbed the Goans of their right to have the
Congress government formed its ministry and instead inspite of being in minority seat tally in the
last election formed their own government by committing a “Chori” on Congress.
If BJP was a good party then they would never initiate the defection and
allow the defected MLA’s into their side by form their government.
In my locality recently
the main road was repaired, hot-mix tarred and it looks better now. But we should not think that the MLA
concerned should be adored for doing this job, there is no favour in doing this
job, it is only his duty the concerned MLA has done and nothing else. He is
elected to be the MLA to do his duties which are nothing but his
obligations and there is no favour in it.
BJP is claiming to be
the service to the public oriented party and it is the only party in India that
is having the mass base where the rulers of the government identifies themselves
with the commoners. My foot, you “fotting”
traitors of BJP. You are liars and crook
because of this you don’t identify yourselves practically with the
commoners. The difference between your living standard and
that of the masses and commoners was too high and it cannot be like narrowed down because the top brass of
BJP and any other party will not be comfortable to surrender even an inch in
favour of the commoners.
The way the Ministers living in Goa for example at
Altinho Panjim Government Bungalows it looks to me that one more class of
people are developed In our midst that is the class of super Goans belonging to
the ministerial category. They are so
powerful that they can at any moment turn into Salazar. Because of the unimaginable facilities they are getting
by being the ministers they turn out to be proud and arrogant. Can anyone living this standard if he wants
to prove his simplicity of the common
man that he was born and brought up, surrender his luxuries and live a
common man’s life? Cant he live in his
own house instead of living in Altinho and instead spend the tax payers money
for any good cause? The standard of their
living now is that of British Monarchy.
Inspite of driving away the British we are still ADORING their living standard
that means we must be real traitors. Such traitors will never think good of the common people and common people will never come up as they will remain there only to vote the traitors.
