VOTE ONLY FOR CONGRESS TO SAVE US FROM EXTINCTION.

Why should I  vote for BJP ?  By voting for BJP I will be digging my own grave. By voting BJP back to power I will be giving full liberty to BJP to totally liquidate me from my own land because BJP has already made statements to convert India into a Hindu Raj where there will not be a place for our community members to live.  Immediately after the conquest of Goa by India in 1961, Portuguese Dictator Salazar predicted this tirade  against (Goan) Christians. The facility of Portuguese Passport for Goans is to counter the onslaught of Bharat’s BJP against Goan Christians.

It is surprising that the voice against BJP on minorities like us by their own co-religionists is not raised forcefully.  That means are they too supporting BJP to uproot Christians from Goa? Is Goa fully owned by BJP?  I don’t think it is that easy and not to make IT that easy, first and foremost we all the members of minority communities must vote for Congress and NOT to BJP.  This should be our goal tomorrow when we go to vote.

All the best to all my community members and all others who are secularists.

SUPPORT THE MINING BAN AFFECTED PEOPLE.

Referring to the news item in Herald dated 20.04.19,  where the Goa Mining People’s Front advised its members to vote according to their own decision though earlier it vowed not to vote for BJP. I don’t know why a sudden change of decision when the entire Goa was ready to support the earlier stand of GMPF. It is an injustice to  all the people who got affected with this crisis of mining ban due to lack of support by the BJP governments both at the Center and in Goa.  Hence, I feel people should punish the BJP in the coming election by not voting  BJP back to power so that justice is done for the affected people. If BJP when ruling at both the places cannot put things into order then who will?  This shows how dull headed BJP is. 

The Central idea of Islam is Justice and when once Prophet Mohammed was asked why there is injustice in this World and when  there will be justice in this World, replied Prophet thus: “when everyone of us will gather courage to fight against the injustice committed on to others as if that injustice is committed on to us only, then only there will be justice in this World”.

In view of above, it is our duty to support our mining affected people by not voting  BJP to power and thus indicate that the people’s voting power is more powerful.  We cannot allow BJP OR for that matter any party to take us the voters for granted.

PRODIGAL SON RETURNS BACK HOME. HOPE AS REFINED.

Till just 48 hours before Babush Monsurate was denying his joining Congress but just before 24 hours, yesterday he boldly and shamelessly re-joined Congress without even indicating his slight regret for  being in denial mood for so many days.  This is what the bad habit of our politicians of doing what they want at the last minute. By doing this he put into shame and also awkward position all of his workers and supporters who in order to support Babush, created enmity with Congress Party and its workers?  Did Babush realise this that he was the architect of the enmity between his workers and Congress? Or Babush feels the way we say in Konkani "Te boslet mojea Konkear, zaina te dusman, moje sadlea puro".Though I am happy for this prodigal son to return back home yet I am afraid how long he will remain in Congress to accomplish the mission of his Honeymoon?  

Like a Butterfly jumping from one tree to the other is his habit and what guarantee is there that he will not do the same again? If he gets what he wants, he is capable of saying "Congress ba gelet Tel launk, moje makam mevlea puro". These are the politicians who have brought disgrace not only on our democracy but also on our political system. He wants to be omnipotent  wherever he goes but will the Congress surrender its omnipotence to him if he fights for his way to do what he wants as he did last time? At this moment he is an asset for Congress  no doubt and also to all the anti-BJP forces but will he remain an asset or will he jump into BJP for the top ministerial post? Since I have no trust in any politician to be sincere, will Babush at least give me back my trust by remaining  faithful to Congress?

As I know him, Babush at times is a nice human being having vast potentials to do good for Goa and Goans, his Goanness is much superior to that of many others but his craze for power is a big hindrance. Hope he will be a refined Babush now.
