BEWARE CONGRESS IN GOA.

It is a hard fact that the BJP came to power in Goa only because of the weakness of Congress when Congressmen started looting Goans in all the sides. Though Congress is out of power in Goa yet again it is a hard fact that Congress alone is in a better position to defeat the ruling corrupt AND communal BJP government in the forthcoming election. However, in reality it looks very difficult for Congress to achieve this goal because Congress Party in Goa is still not strengthening its base to face the challenge from the BJP and independents. 

Congress Party under the leadership of Luizinho Faleiro is still tottering by still clinging to the Old Guard and Defeated Candidates.  I am still using my Binocular to see the replacements for them and if I am not mistaken as it looks now, it is unlikely to get suitable replacements either. The talk of the formation of Third Front by the disgruntled political elements will be a distant dream and it will remain as such only because they are not politically heavyweights.

In view of this, Congress Party under Luizinho  Faleiro is surely going to face its doom once again in the next election. Congress Party at Goa and national level is lacking in sterling leadership qualities and both Luizinho  Faleiro and Rajiv Gandhi respectively are lacking in the charisma to woo the masses because they are not the men of the masses. Luizinho Faleiro is showing Hemletic attitude of being indecisive in disclosing that there is no place for the Old Guards and Defeated Candidates. 

 

It is time now for Luizinho Faleiro to make his choice of good candidates of good character and not to impose on the voters the defeated candidates who are already known as corrupt.  I know at the last minute Crores will be paid by the corrupt candidates to purchase the Election Tickets but we as voters will teach a very good lesson to Congress Party yet again if we are not taken into confidence to select our candidates.

 

Regarding my constituency as I discussed with a number of voters, Luizinho Faleiro and his committee will have to select a right candidate if they want their choice to get our votes.  In the forthcoming election even one vote is essential for the victory, more so for the Congress Party.  For this reason on behalf of all my friends, colleagues and relatives and also on behalf of all the like minded voters I request Luizinho Faleiro to be very very careful while selecting the candidate to represent my constituency so that repetition of last defeat is avoided.

MUSICAL PROTEST IN TERAKOL.

MUSICAL PROTEST IN TERAKOL AGAINST LEADING HOTELS CO.

 

 

A section of the crowd

 

As announced earlier, the Musical Protest was held in Terakol in the compound of Francis one of the stalwarts of the movement against the Leading Hotels Co.  Francis is also a Panch in the local Panchayat and a very motivating factor in the village to garner support of the locals against the Non-Goan Hoteliers who are all out not only to liquidate the locals from Terakol but also to liquidate the entire Terakol from the Map of Goa. Originally it was to be organized at the entrance of the Fort but due to incessant rain it was shifted to the place where it was finally held.

Though it was scheduled at 3.00 PM but because of the rain it had to start at 4.00 PM with the attendance of around 500 Goans coming from all over Goa in Buses, Taxis, Private Cars and Two Wheelers.  All those who attended this Musical Protest Meet showed their concern for Goa in general and Terakol in particular even by braving the torrential rain.  Though I could not see any priest but surely I saw a few nuns attending this protest among others including many Hindus.

The youth Sudeep Dalvi who was one of the stalwarts of this movement played a pivotal  role to organize this protest meet so successfully in the midst of stiff opposition from the Non-Goan Hoteliers.  The locals also played a major role in helping to organize this meet successfully. From their moves they looked very co-operative and supportive of this meet.

The destructive method against Terakol by the Leading Hotels Co. in support of the current BJP government headed by Parsenkar is just a symptom of the Cancer that is going to be afflicted to the entire body, Goa.  Hence, it is imperative now only to eradicate this symptom by using soft method or hard method.  If this Terakol incident had to take place in any other State in India there would have been riots and murders but we in Goa following our “susegado” culture and decent tradition, we opted for soft and peaceful method of showing our concern thru Music. But how long we will remain soft and play music?

Even Bible says that we have to arm ourselves to protect us from our enemies.  Our enemies are on all fronts to liquidate us not only from Goa but from this Planet itself and in this move the current BJP government of Parsenkar is doing everything what he can to help the non-Goans, Migrants and even Ghanttis to grab Goan land as it is done in Terakol.  In view of this, if Goans are real sons and daughters of Goan fathers then they will defeat the BJP government in the coming general election.  If not, Goa and Goans are going to be finished from this planet.  This is a very serious issue for which Goans must give very high importance.

Coming back to the protest meet, Dalwi welcomed the gathering and requested the gathering to observe one minute silence in memory of the late Domnick de Terakol. 

Then he handed over the Baton to Siddanth Buyao to commence the musical protest meet where Buyao rendered a nice song in praise of Jesus Christ.  Then others followed including Zico, Parra Boys, Kennedy Afonso,  Fr. Bismark and Terakolkars  who rendered a very beautiful song describing the greatness of Terakol village, its plants and Trees, its River, its Air its soil and its beautiful Fort. It would be nice to record this song with musical accompaniment so that the message of Terakol goes farther and wider.

 

Parra Boys

 

The speeches rendered by Mahesh Naik, Fr. Bismark and Sameer Kelekar were excellent.  Mr. Kelekar made mockery of IIT Parrikar saying he is not the only man in Goa to hold that degree but “I am also holding similar degree studying in USA right up to PHD”.  He promised to contact the parent company Leading Hotels Co., in the West to complain about the damages their subsidiary is doing in Goa.

Fr. Bismark showed his fury how Leading Hotels Co. is damaging ecology and environment in Terakol and went further in quoting the letter “Laudato Si”  of the present Pope Francis against those who harm the ecology and environment.  Unfortunately, this letter is not still disclosed to the faithful by our Church for reason best known to the Archbishop Ferrao only.

Mr. Naik seen addressing the meet

 

Earlier in late fifties the then Pope John XXIII issued a somewhat similar letter known as “Encyclica Pacem In Terris” which was not released by all the Bishops but wherever it was released like Brazil and Portugal, it was released with many changes in order not to hurt the ruling governments in their countries.  That letter was pro-poor and in support of the people’s needs.  Since Church was in good books with the governments there, not to antagonize their governments, the Bishops there refrained from releasing that letter in its original form.

POLITICIANS MUST AGREE TO SURRENDER THEIR VIP CULTURE.

The biggest problem in our political system is the VIP culture that we inherited from our former colonial masters and that our elected politicians are following.  Because of the cheap craze for acquiring VIP culture our political leaders are doing all sorts of nonsense to gain political power and those who already got this power they try all sorts of chicaneries to regain their political power.  In the bargain these politicians are even committing worst sorts of crimes namely financial and physical to grab political power.  This happens because our political leaders are hungry for honour because they are suffering from ancestral inferiority complex and precisely because of this inferiority complex they want to imitate our colonial masters. Thus they want to gain the psychological feeling that they are not from the inferior background but from superior.

It is a pity that none of the political leaders are surrendering this temporary honour of VIP culture even though they can easily do this because they are not born and brought up in VIP culture.   In fact most of them are brought up like third class people.  Though VIP culture  is an artificial honour yet no body is willing to give it up because every political leader in our country in general and Goa in particular wants to be accepted as a feudal lord and a Maharaja. When the Ladru of our constituency got a Lal Batti Pilot Car he thought he won the world, but what a pity,  after  getting a kick in the subsequent election nobody knows where his whereabout is.  Such pride is performed by the persons coming from the very low strata and parentage.

See their pose when they travel in the VIP cars, see the way they stay in Altinho government provided Bungalows, see the way they interact with the people as if they are omnipotent, see the way they talk to the people when they are approached by them to solve their grievances.  When they talk to the people they talk as if they are the sons of Saddam Hussein and Hitler. Why is this exorbitant pride?  Good that they are Monarchs only for a short period otherwise they would act like Barberians.  On top of it they shamelessly perform their religious rites in the religious places as if they are closer to God.  For such Barberians God will never give His Blessings.

Now, I would like to know from every political party and every election contestant their views openly on this topic and whether they will surrender the VIP culture once they gained the political power.  Goa Su’uraj Party has already openly declared in one of their public meetings held in Panjim recently that they are against this VIP culture and if elected they will never follow the VIP culture.
