DIGAMBAR KAMAT INSULTED DR. JACK SEQUEIRA.
Soon after taking Oath of his Chief Ministership of Goa, Digambar Kamat from Margao constituency went to pay his homage to the Statue of anti-Goan, anti-Konkani and anti-Christian the late Dayananda Bandodkar, the first Chief Minister of Goa and also to the Statue of pro-Goan, pro-Konkani, secular and genuine Goan the late Dr. Jack de Sequeira who was true Goan son of his true Goan father and not illegitimately fathered by the Portuguese soldier. Paying homage to Bandodkar was surely in mind of Digambar Kamat because I am sure going to the Statue of Dr. Sequeira was the last minute advice to him by his Saraswat Brahmin advisers who are more fanatic communal than ordinary illiterate and ignorant communals. It was an act of a cunning man to fool and gain the goodwill of Christians. Digambar Kamat as an ally of BJP cannot be a secular man. By virtue of being a BJP MLA and Montri earlier Kamat should be a fanatic Hindu hating Christians and Muslims. As a BJP man he should think of Hindu Raj only. A BJP man cannot be a secular or well wisher of Christians in Goa. Digambar Kamat knows that as a Chief Minister of Goa he is walking on a very thin rope which can at any moment tear and drown him into the Mandovi River while returning home from Porvorim. Since Bandodkar was anti-Christian like BJP men, in tune with anti-Christian feelings, Digambar Kamat’s going to Bandodkar Statue to pay him homage was in right direction. But paying homage to the Statue of Dr. Jack De Sequeira was a blasphemous act. It was a chicanery of first grade. Digamkar Kamat has no love for Dr. Sequeira and his ideals. If Kamat had love and respect for the ideals of Dr. Jack de Sequeira then he would have created an initiative of keeping the memory of Dr. Jack De Sequeira glittering by erecting the Statute of Dr. Jack Sequeira anywhere in Goa if not in his own constituency which would have been a much better venue than Panjim and Calangute.
Christians in Goa always made themselves easy prey for getting fooled by the anti-Christian elements. Bandodkar at the later stages started coaxing Christians by visiting Churches, patronising famous Colva Fama and going to the Bishop Palace in Panjim Altinho to congratulate the appointment of the previous Patriarch Rahul Gonsalves when He was appointed as Auxiliary Bishop of Goa. This was a big tamasha Bandodkar did and to fool the Christians that he is with them he made it an obligation for the Press in Goa to publicise the photographs of these happenings in Goan Newspapers including Nawhind Times which was then read by the overwhelming majority of Christians in Goa. In tune with Bandodkar’s style of fooling the Christians, Digambar Kamat again to fool the Christians, three days back went to one of the Churches in Goa and prayed for the inspiration of Holy Spirit to guide him to do his duties as CM. By asking Holy Spirit Digambar Kamat committed another sin of blasphemy. Because of this sin of blasphemy Digambar Kamat will never get guidance from from Holy Spirit nor Jesus Christ because Digambar Kamat must fall and his communal Congress Party must also fall because Congressmen are full of sins and such sinful people should never be allowed to rule Goa lest they spread sins all over Goa which may help convert Goa into another Soddom and Gomorrah. Universal God will never help such sinful people. Universal God will punish sinful people because they deserve punishment. Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit will never support such sinful people. Neither Ram nor Allah. To give them support and guidance will be like destroying the people of Goa. Universal God will never help anyone to destroy Goa because God’s presence is there in the sacred soil of Goa
When PDF Government was formed in Goa I still remember how Churchill Alemao went to the Hindu Temple and did swear there on the coconut which is the sign of Hinduism. This act of Churchill was an act of anti-Christian. Christians do not perform such practices, such practices are against Christian doctrine. But it was done to fool the Hindu masses. These type of practices have got lot of chicanery but these politicians for their survival and to fool the masses will not only embrace any religion but will even trample under their dirty feet their own religions and also the signs and relics of their own religions.
Going back to Digambar Kamat, his obeisance to Dr. Jack de Sequiera should be treated as an act of insult to the great Goan secular soul of Dr. Sequeira. Digambar Kamat has no moral obligation nor any right to pay respect to the Statue of Dr. Sequeira. There is a saying in Konkani “Mezailem Kellem kaddlem ani Saguad zoddli”. This is what exactly Digambar Kamat did. By making best use of the already erected Statue of Dr. Sequeira by the private parties and not by the Goa Government, Digambar Kamat did exactly what the above proverb said. As a member of Rane’s Cabinet Digambar Kamat never thought of initiating any move to help erect the Statue of Dr. Sequeira to keep his memory fresh but when it was found ready made he used it only to fool the Christians. Going to this Statue was not an act of respect but an act of insult to Dr. Jack de Sequeira and to all his followers and all the supporters of Goa, Konkani and secularism.

R.I.P. MGP.
R.I.P. MGP.
Robert Stevenson in one of his novels rightly said that “Punishment comes lame footed”. Yes, it comes either today or tomorrow but it certainly comes and finally it came for Maharastrawadi Gomantak Party when in the recently held election it lost miserably winning only 2 Seats. MGP is such a fake party it was formed by the adopted Goans whose main motto was to liquidate the identity of Goa, Goan culture, Goan tradition, Goan history and above all the traditional Goan religious amity. For over 15 years from the time of the exit of Portuguese from Goa, MGP ruled over Goa giving the testimony of its anti-Goan, anti-Konkani and above all anti-Christian exercises. It survived on the fallacy that they propagated saying Goa belongs to Hindus only – one of their stalwarts once even called Goan Christao as “Dukor”, they survived on the weakness of the “hoi polloi” Hindus who were told that Christao are their worst enemies.
MGP survived on the slogan it passed on to their intellectually poor followers that during the Portuguese time Christao enjoyed better facilities than the Hindus and hence Hindus must teach Christao a very good lesson now. In the bargain Goan brother became enemy of his own Goan brother of course from different religious affinity. There appeared a rift between Goan Christao and Goan Hindu imposed forcibly by MGP. In fact during the Portuguese regime Goan Hindus enjoyed better dividends. They captured Government jobs in good number. The entire Mining industry was owned and controlled by the Hindus, almost entire Goan Commerce was into the hands of Hindus, almost all the agencies of imported foreign goods was their monopoly. Christao made little money only by migrating to Bombay and other parts of the world including Africa and Gulf. Whatever MGP told to its followers against Christao was nothing but pure lies. The aim of MGP was to detach everything Goanness from Goa and also uproot genuine Goans and dilute the same in the big ocean of Maharastra by making Goa as part of Maharastra and in the bargain liquidate Konkani and in its place impose a foreign language Marathi into Goa. The purpose of this exercise is to destabilize Goan Christao from Goa, make them unwanted in Goa and treat them as Jews in the Naziland. Incidentally this process of destabilization of Christao is still going on with the blessings of BJP under Parrikar and all the ex MGP partymen now turned into Congressmen.
When this tirade against Goa, Goans and Konkani was going on in Goa under the leadership of MGP, we were new comers to Kuwait. We immediately created our front in Kuwait to oppose MGP dadagiri in Goa. We created our front in Kuwait to support Konkani cause and thru it the cause of Statehood for Goa. Besides us in Kuwait, nobody anywhere in the world outside Goa formed such a mighty front to support the cause of Goa and Konkani. We formed associations and committees to raise funds for the cause of Konkani. Lakhs of rupees were sent from Kuwait for the cause of Konkani and because of it Konkani movement in Goa got a big booster. For example, Novem Goem Prastishtan, Konkani Porjecho Avaz, Konkani Martys Funds, Donations for the promotion of Konkani Magazines like Gulab, financial aid for Konkani Books like Fr. Antonio Pereira’s “Konkani Voparinchem Bhanddar” etc. Our dearest and nearest in Goa were instructed not to support MGP and not to vote for MGP candidates. Our relatives were instructed to give non-cooperation to MGP and its stalwarts and supporters. We went to Goa on vacations and taking advantage of this we participated in the agitations, morchas and even hunger strikes in support of Konkani because Konkani is the soul of Goa. Without Konkani no separate statehood was possible for Goa. Hence, the need of the recognition of Konkani and based on it alone finally the statehood for Goa was granted.
I salute all our colleagues and associates who fought with us and supported us for the victory of Konkani. To wage this battle from Kuwait where sometimes one finds no time even to eat his food properly and no proper place to rest and sleep, was not an easy task but, we, like mad people carried it forward by forgetting all our personal and family needs. We did less or no savings from what little we earned but spent more or everything after Konkani cause for the sake of Goa. Only because we are mad that we succeeded in creating a revolution from Kuwait for the cause of Konkani. And who makes revolutions? Only the mad people like us make revolutions – Mad not mentally but mad for the cause, mad ideologically. Many or most of our colleagues and supporters are no more in Kuwait now but their precious support at that time helped us to fight the brute might of MGP which was fighting against Konkani. When I just think of our movements in this direction I myself just cannot imagine how I could manage to give leaderships in Kuwait for so many Konkani causes for the survival and upliftment of Konkani. Moreover, I just cannot understand how such a mighty force of Kuwait Goans supported us and followed our direction for the cause of Konkani which MGP wanted to liquidate and in its place implant Marathi. Before my coming to Kuwait, there was no move in Kuwait to fight for the cause of Konkani and many of the Goan causes in Goa. It was not that Konkani cause was not existing then but surely right leadership, appropriate direction and genuine guidance from upright, genuine and selfless leaders was missing. Hence, our entry into this space which was rightly supported by our followers.
It is with pride we say congratulations to all our colleagues and supporters who so vigorously fought for the cause of Konkani against MGP’s move. We Kuwaitkars are partly responsible for helping the liquidation of MGP. After the victory of Konkani and Statehood MGP lost major plank to fight for its cause. With the victory of 2 candidates in the last election, MGP is consigned to permanent flames from where it will never come back. These two elected MLA’s have no principles and neither their voters who during the election campaign shouted slogans against Congress and worked against Congress by creating Congress as their worst enemy. Now, these same 2 MLAs are joining Congress shameless. They are like prostitutes ready to sleep with anyone offering money. This is the culture of MGP. Ramakant Khalap and Shashikala Kakodkar are also consigned to eternal flames. They are the worst enemies of Goa working against the interest of Goa and Konkani by standing under the shade of MGP Umbrella. They got their punishment deservingly. And during my last so many years of political experience I noticed one thing that those people who harassed us, that is, genuine Goans working for the cause of Goa and Konkani finally suffered too much in Goan political field, they are become very depressed and dejected and lost in political life forever.
In this election MGP got 2 Seats but in future, they will get a big ZERO which will send it into total liquidation. It has no more value in Goa because its main objectives like liquidation of Konkani and merging Goa with Maharastra have failed eternally. We from Kuwait also worked for this failure. Their third and the only remaining objective, i.e., liquidation of Christao and Christianity from Goa is taken over by their colleague BJP. Will BJP succeed where MGP failed? Never. Goa is not North India nor Gujarat. Goa is unique with its totally different characteristics unlike those that are existing elsewhere in India. Meantime, will the present Goan generation working in Kuwait help Goa and Goans in demolishing the nasty head of BJP as we seniors did for MGP from Kuwait? Though I have my doubts yet time alone will give the testimony.

"POTTACHE" MLA's
"POTTACHE" MLA's
Finally Digambar Kamat an ex BJP stalwart from Margao constituency has finally been selected by the Congress Party to become the next Chief Minister of Goa. Good that Hitlerian Rane was dethroned but how long this Ministry of Digambar Kamat will last? Only the time will tell. Those MLAs from the opposition and also from the ruling party who will be out of ministerial berths, they will have to face hard time to be without power. They must have spent crores of rupees to fight this election and win their seats. And if they are not included in the Cabinet then they will have no possibility to regain their spent crores. How they will regain their spent crores? IT IS ONLY BY TAKING BRIBES IN LAKHS OF RUPPES AFTER THEY GET PLACES IN THE CABINET. Demanding bribes in lakhs of rupees is become an accepted norm and offering bribes too is also become an accepted norm. It is like legalized form of financial transaction though it is not sanctioned by the law and hence it is illegal. This type of rampant bribery developed only with the advent of PDF Government formed thru defections under the leadership of Churchill Alemao supported by Mauwin Godinho, Dr. Proto Barbosa, G.B. Gonsalves and others.
To dethrone Luizinho Faleiro, Francisco Sardinha, Mathanay Saldanha, Dr. Wilfred D’Souza and other heavyweights, middleweights and lightweights the winners must have spent crores of rupees. If these winners are not finding any place in the Cabinet then they will act like desperados leading to their defections and counter defections so as to get them Cabinet ranks. This type of desparateness on the part of those who are denied ministerial positions happen only when Congress Party rules in Goa because Congressmen wants to live the life of Maharajas and British Minarchs. In the name of socialism, Congressmen are aping Monarchs and Maharajas. Once they are in the Cabinet they will exploit the poor Goans in such a way that even for an ordinary water connection they will demand bribes in lakhs and people will have no choice but to surrender because people only elected them knowing well that they will demand bribes only. The current ministry under Digambar Kamat will surely have a short life span and at any moment it will collapse. The Congress ministry under Digambar Kamat is very collapsible. Parrikar, Babush and Churchill will be in readiness to overthrow the current Government of disparate elements collected from different parties and segments. In order to fulfill their ministerial ambitions “Pottache” MLA’s will defect from their parties on whose symbols they got elected and join the ruling party. The voters should be very alert now not to allow their MLA’s to defect to other parties. In order to fight for their MLA’s the voters have sacrificed so much even leading to the creation of enmities between them and the supporters of their opponents. Their efforts and sacrifices in getting their candidates elected should not be in vain. No voters in Goa should allow their MLAs to consider them, that is, the voters, as “Ghantta Boils”.
My regret this time will be like this that all the Government jobs will be on sale for lakhs of rupees. Who could afford this bribe? Can a poor person afford to sell out lakhs of rupees to get a Government job? Can the poor parents of a bright student afford to bribe a minister in lakhs of rupees to get their child a seat in Medical, Engineering or any such Government backed institutes? Will this Government be of poor people for the upliftment of poor? The poor will remain poor only under this Government. It is not Government jobs only that will be on sale but everything that is under Government will be on sale because “Pottache” MLA’s in continuation of their habbits will suck the blood of poor Goans in such a way that there will be nothing left in Goa for the Ministers not to release without bribes.
What will be the fate of Romi Konkani under the present Congress Government? I doubt it will materialize because the Chief Minister himself is the protégé of Marathi faction and Nagri segment. This Chief Minister Digambar Kamat has never said a positive word on Romi Konkani and our Romi protagonists in Goa including Tiatrists have never brought pressure on the Salcette candidates especially of Congress to make commitment on Romi Konkani. Just by releasing few Press Releases on Internet you cannot make a movement. I thought Tiatrists will do something more for the cause of Romi Konkani, but no, my expectations went wrong.
Congress Party has taken the support of Christians for granted because Congress knows that Christians are not having any choice except to support Congress because other parties like BJP and MGP are both anti-Christians. The support of Christians for Congress party was of tremendous assistance for it to gain power from the time UG got dissolved into Cong. Urs and Cong U finally merged with Indira Congress. When Christao in Goa supported current Congress party they did it so only for the Congress party symbol irrespective of the religious affinity of the candidates. Congress should be grateful to Goan Christao for electing it to power and as such Congress should satisfy the wishes and aspirations of Christao in Goa. But is Congress doing so? Surely Not. And what is the role of our Christao Congress MLAs and Ministers? They look like rascals of first grade. If they were sincere to our causes they would have brought in pressure on Congress party command in Goa and Delhi and get our rights materialized. This should have been done at least during the time of Chief Ministership of Christao MLAs. Will Congress party do justice for Romi Konkani? Definitely NOT because that bloody “kontrel” Margareth Alva who was rejected in her home place Mangalore will never do justice for our cause in Goa. She will suck the blood of Goans and destroy Congress Party in Goa and go into oblivion. When last time I called her from Kuwait and asked her opinion on Romi Konkani, she screamed at me like a dictator and answered “You are only talking from Kuwait, you come to Goa and talk, and then she banged her telephone down”. This bloody Margareth Alva who is known to have involved in land and property scams in Goa does not know what I have done from Kuwait for the cause of Goa and Konkani. What I have done for the cause of Konkani from Kuwait Margareth Alva will have to take one more birth to know and even then she will not know. What I have done for the cause of Konkani from Kuwait very few have done from Goa and as a matter of interest no expatriate Goan has done what I have done. This is not to boast but to speak the truth.
