Very important phase
of the life of many of us is going on now and we are much worried of not
knowing what will be the outcome of the
phase that we are now passing thru. Since election is approaching very fast we
are all busy in doing something or the other with regard to the election fixed on
14th of this month. Because
of this election, many of the people involved in it directly as
contestants or indirectly as party
followers or as the leaders of the
contestants. As party leaders contesting the election they
were supposed to give a round every fortnight in every ward of his locality in
his Constituency and to enquire with his voters and to get the first hand
information of his voters and if he
finds anybody during these rounds sick or
is in any problem the leaders if they are the real leaders having real qualities
of leadership in their blood and moreover they are the real sons of their real
fathers, they will help their voters in
getting their problem solved. But
unfortunately there is not a single
leader of calibre or the contestant who got the blood running in his veins of his
genuine father then only he will devote
his time in his constituency to see the needs of his voters. Otherwise like a True Bastard and also like
the son of his Bitchy mother, he will
escape from performing his obligations towards his voters. Such candidates got no right to beg for the Votes.
Take the time during the peak of
Covid and see so many of people were languishing in the hospital or at home
without food and other necessary
requirements and no money to buy essentials, our leader who was the same whom the
voters voted him to power earlier stupidly have failed miserably even to give a plain phone call asking them just these
3 comforting words ”HOW ARE YOU?” WILL
he gather courage this time to come to the doors to beg for their votes?
What is the quality and character of this type of rascal leaders who are interested in filling their own pockets only
and constructing their own Bunglows without even proper documents as if the they
are the “Poske Put” of “Serkar” allowing them to do anything illegally. The
rascal who on the strength of some of his persons who are experts in doing
illegal projects are ready to do
anything and as a matter of fact people of dignity are ashamed of such leaders doing illegal business.
From the above we realise how stupid our leaders are who by
Bastardising their dirty character they
escape from their genuine responsibilities towards their sincere voters and
thus bring about disaster in our democratic system. In this way how will we get
good leaders? It is impossible for us in Goa especially to locate
good and responsible leaders. We will in
such a situation suffer from the abject poverty of leadership and in this way
we will be at the mercy of rascal leaders who will again fail us in giving us
the most upright leadership.
The problems with our current leadership is this that it does not care
for its obligations because our leaders are selfish. Our current political activities carried by
our third class politicians are considered by our politicians as Commercial
where money is the main criteria, today's politicians are involving in politics
to gain an enormous amount of money, he
is the most shameless and if necessary he knows the job of a Pimp on which he ultimately
bank. This is the very ugly and
shameless stage he reaches in search of money and power. Why? Because money is become so powerful that
other than God’s power there is only one strong power that is the money power, money and that too easy and fast money.
Exactly another week is
remaining for the coming election and still candidates and their parties are
not certain whether they will win or
not, they are not certain that they will get their expected quota of votes or
their votes will be splitted leading the common opponent to get the maximum
number of votes. In this case, since every candidate is indicating his
opposition to the BJP, why even at this last moment some of the doubtful
candidates take a very hard and bold decision
and withdraw from the contest in favour of the candidate who is likely to score
more votes? As it is our Church leaders
are constantly making big noise regularly in the Churches opposing the
splitting of Votes. In view of this, why our Church leaders who
are maintaining good relationship with some of the fringe candidates whose involvement in this
election is only for academic point of view, advise these candidates to withdaraw? Otherwise, later on there is no point in crying and crying for our luck, our luck is
what we make. This should be done
hurriedly because time is ticking sprintingly.
