IS GOA GOVERNMENT FAILING US?

It is now a few days back that the Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant giving the Press briefing to media personnel informing how things are moving and steps his government has taken so far to minimize or to eradicate completely the effects of the Corona Virus on Goan population. Since he started his briefing, I have been watching him carefully and marking his body language too.  Yesterday, when I watched him briefing the media personnel, I found him very dejectedlike person and as if  he is rejected from his circle of Ministers and MLA’s. His face looks like that of a baby who has been scolded by the mother for playing mischief with other colleagues.

So much so, it looks to me that in  Delhi he is isolated and our contact there was almost lost, it is no more what it was during the CMship of Parricar who not only established his contact well but also maintained it well.  This Sawant cannot do  because he is just a raw  and being so how  could attain that much of maturity?  Because he is not well matured and not well advanced his level is that of a youth fit for playing the games, Parricar while on his death bed selected Sawant to take over from him which he did.  Parricar it seems knew very well Sawant is unfit to sit on the Chair which he already occupied thru rightly and wrongly.  Parricar wanted to be remembered very well even in his death and because it is so, he pushed Sawant’s candidature for the post of CM.  The greater the weakness of Sawant the  greater is the efficiency of Parricar and hence the greater is the popularity of Parricar.

 

Pramod Sawant is not maintaining the track  of his arguments, he jumps from “Maddar to Peddar” and thus loses his track.  He is losing his logic of talking.  Take one incident of the supply of some necessary items from the shops and grocery shops.  He said grocery shops will be kept opened that means when groceries  are opened then there is an open invitation for the public to go to these groceries and buy their requirements.  But on the other hand after a few seconds Sawant instructs the same people, he not only instructs but pleads with them in his folded hands not to move  out of your houses.  In this case, who will supply the necessities without going yourself personally to the shop? The CM failed miserably in organising the home delivery system because Sawant is unfit to cope up with vigours of this critical job.  

Sawant must know one thing that there is one proverb in our Goan language Konkani saying “Karveank nhoi khuim ghorvam ani Rendrank nhoi khuim Tarvam”.

It looks to me that Sawant is having lot of opposition for his CM’ship and if all is not going well  he may face rough weather.  He is indicating lot of weaknesses in dealing with this Corona Virus, the crisis that we are facing now are very bad and such dangers have to be averted with utmost care, knowledge and patience by taking the people towards you.   

Meantime, why cannot help in doing something for the delivery system by all the political parties by joining together? As things are moving now, nothing is organized that means are we facing the disaster? Why there is silence from Goa-Goykar-Goykarpon?

It is now so many days our Chief Minister is briefing the Media persons on the latest development of Corona Virus and what actions his government has taken so far to

GOA CM MUST DISCIPLINE POLICEMEN.

Once again the BJP government has failed in its duty towards its people almost during the last one whole week by shutting down all the food item selling outlets, the government without creating alternative arrangement given the brute power to the brute Policemen to act just like wild animals in handling cases even on humanitarian basis, not allowing the genuine persons to move freely even to go out to purchase their necessary things? Everybody is aware how 2 days back in front of Candolim Church, one Policeman has mercilessly with his Dando assaulted one local,  Damiao by name as declared by him. Later on as informed, he was examined by the Health Centre proving the correctness of this assault on the handicapped  Damiao.

What is wrong with our Policemen and why they act as Salazarist Police force in a very harsh manner? Is there no one to see this?  Where is our local MLA gone now?  As a people’s representative was it not his duty to enquire personally and give his verdict?  Where are all our contestants for ZP election gone now?  Why they have not, not a single of them, issued a statement on this  police action?            If they don’t involve now then after the election they will never bother to support the Damiaos.

Voters from my constituency now only do your assessment  on your candidates and move forward. We must campaign hard on this topic for people to know who is for us and who is not. 

CM Sawant  must give full confidence to the people that they will not encounter any hindrance from any authority especially from police force for those people who are going out to purchase their necessities.  Those who are supposed to protect law and order they must act decent and not like barbarians  during Salazar regime in Goa, a policeman cannot use filthy bad words nor use his danda, it is given to him to defend himself and not to use it wildly against  non-belligerent civilians. When policemen act “abuzad” unnecessarily then he brings bad name for  him & for his force.

GIVE FREEDOM TO PURCHASE ESSENTIALS.

This is to bring to the notice of all concerned  that what our Premier spoke on Wednesday the 25th of this month extending the Curfew to another 21 days was absolutely not a right decision without allowing the public to be ready for this.  It was done hurriedly without applying his mind properly or his advisers must have committed a goof.  Before the expiry of the then existing Curfew, suddenly  on Wednesday  the  Prime Minister came  with another extension effective 23.03.20 for the next 21 days.



It was understood  by us that when the then existing Curfew ends on 22.03.20 we would go to Bazar and purchase our necessary requirement especially the food items.  But without giving us sufficient space, our Premier came with a big jolt of 21 days Curfew – Lock down - which is to be maintained very rigidly by the Police personnel and since they are doing their jobs very rigidly even sometimes going out of the way, at some places as it was in Caandolim infront of the Church where one local Damiao was severely assaulted by the law and order protectors. Who gave the authority to the policeman to take the law into his own hands?  Are we still in Salazarist regime to act like  the brute and uncivilized Portuguese Pakles? All the concerned persons and authorities must investigate this matter and CM must answer how this has happened.  Can’t we go out to purchase our emergency medicines  ?




I am afraid that the law protectors may go out of their way and follow the Salazarist methods to punish irrelevantly the innocents. CM Sawant must give full freedom  to people to move freely to purchase their requirements   without any hindrance.
