WE NEED TO KNOW POLITICIANS' INCOME.

Babush is not Goa and Goa is not Babush and hence the victory of his panel in Panjim Municipality election could not be taken as the barometer for gauging the mood of Goan voters for the forthcoming Assembly election.  However, this victory was a direct slap on BJP’s misrule of Goa and inefficiency of Congress. It is a direct humiliation for Parricar who personally came from Delhi to canvass votes for his BJP contestants.  This indicates that BJP wave and Parricar charisma is waning because people in Goa have realized that BJP and Parricar are liars and cannot be trusted to fulfill any of their promises.

Now, in the forthcoming Assembly election it is my warning to Congress Party in particular and BJP and other parties in general not to hoist on us, the voters the candidates without our consent.  It is become customary for these political parties to hoist on us any “Ladru-Pedru” with questionable character.  This time we will oppose such questionable characters. 

We need a clean candidate from every Party and we want to analyse his source of income – how he acquired his asset and other details including his activities in the past.  Most of the candidates imposed on us by Congress Party were known to acquire enormous amount of wealth thru unfair means when they were in Panchayat members where the biggest loot is happening.  Most of the Panchayat members in the coastal areas are known to acquire wealth thru illicit means, by threatening the locals, by extorting  bribe  for issuing illegal licences for constructing Hotels and houses.  The most glaring example of these illicit activities is in my locality.  Otherwise how a man coming from economically “Ladru-Pedru” family background could come in possession of a fleet of most expensive cars and chain of hotels?    And otherwise how a semi Goan being partially a Madrasi erect Bungalows spending lakhs of rupees?  What is his source of income to create such an asset?

ALLIANCE OF NON-BJP PARTIES IS A MUST.

The eminent jurust Nani Palkivala advised the Janata Party when it went for the Polls in 1977, to introduce a legislation in the Parliament to UNDO all the draconian laws introduced by Indira Gandhi during the Emergency and convert all her legislations as Nul and Void.

In the same manner, the Non-BJP Parties must promise the voters voting in the forthcoming election to UNDO all the wrong decisions taken by the BJP during its current term. 

However, before this, all the Non-BJP Parties must come to a very firm conclusion of forming an alliance of all the independent parties with Seat adjustment and Seat sharing procedure to fight the next election in order NOT to split the votes and give the advantage to BJP.

In this respect, Congress Party must take a lead to form this alliance.  As a major national Party,  Congress must condescend to initiate this move.  In case Congress Party thinks it will defeat BJP on its own without taking support of other parties then Congress Party is sadly mistaken.  Luizin Faleiro and Digvijay must do the homework very thoroughly to draw the strategy to uproot the BJP government from Goa otherwise BJP will uproot Gons from Goa.

Though Babush is not Goa yet he in the just concluded Panjim Municipality election proved that neither the BJP nor Congress are going to create any impact in the next election.  For this reason Congress if it is serious to finish BJP in the next election then alliance of non-BJP parties is imperative and to form this alliance Congress Party must take the lead.

BHARAT MUKTI MORCHA MEETING.

Fr. Michael Fernandes in the centre and Maggy to the right.

 

Yesterday,  5^th March 2016 at 3.00 PM in Panjim at TB Cunha Hall,  I attended the meeting organized by Bharat Mukti Morcha to explain to the people what blunder the Archbishop of Goa Felipe Neri Ferrao has made in selling the beautiful Vanxim Island to one non-Christian Mahendra Gaunekar for very cheap price. The area of the land comprising Paddy Fields sold by the Goa Archbishop is 3,00,275 sq. metres at the rate of Rs.6.00 per sq. metre and 1,85,275 square metres of Horticultural lands at the rate of Rs. 20.00 per sq.metre. The deal according to information was initiated in 1990’s when the Bishop House was ruled by the then Archbishop Raul Gonsalves and in 2006 in the month of February the actual deal was finally clicked by the current Archbishop.

Gaunekar then sold this land for 30 crores to a corporate body named Ozone dealing in Real Estate in South India.  This company plans to build villas and sell at the rate of 22 crores each, 5 star hotel, helipad, marina and golf course.  The Archbishop House also promised the buyer to hand over every house located there where a number of inhabitants are residing thereby uprooting the locals from their ancestral dwelling places.

According to the latest information, the Archbishop has felt the pinch of public ire over this sale and said it seems that “the deal was morally wrong but legally right”.  But did not utter a single word of undoing the whole deal. The deal was done in utter secrecy and the locals residing in Vanxim Island came to know of this deal only after 4 years. The locals are now demanding from Archbishop all the correspondence pertaining to this deal,  all the correspondence done between Vatican and Archbishop House to obtain permission to sell this land as per the Canon Law  and the actual amount paid by the Gaunekar to the Archbishop.

During the Press briefing, Fr. Michael Fernandes the Parish Priest of Batim spoke heavily against the religious gurus who are looting the faithful and Church property adding further that he being a Christian he cannot remain as silent observer to the nonsense the Archbishop has committed.  He further said that as per the Gospel of St. Paul he has to raise his voice on this wrong committed by the Archbishop otherwise he himself commits a double sin by keeping silent.

Meantime, to correct the wrong and to bring the Archbishop to his senses and for whom some Catholics started refusing their allegiance, Bharat Mukti Morcha sent a memorandum to the Vatican Mission in New Delhi citing all the misdeeds of the Archbishop  of Goa, Filipe Neri Ferrao.
