is there any hope for Romi Konkani?

 

This is in reference to the news item in Herald dated 11.01.22 “asking equal official status to Romi Konkani  also”,  I feel NOBODY will listen to this plea as long as current Nagrivadis  are around to control its future and also as long as some of the current inefficient Romivadis  are around to handle this issue.

  The weakness in having a strong leadership to Romi Konkani is a big disadvantage for Romivadis whom Nagrivadis  suffering from superiority complex and playing on the inferiority complex  Romivadis are suffering, are treating Romi Konkani as no issue.  They feel only the Nagri Konknni should look after Konkani.  Nagrivadis used Romivadis for doing everything to get it  recognized except official status.

As an initiator of Kuwait Konknni Kendr during my vacation in Goa I was taking active part in 1986 in rallies – meetings – hunger strike in Panjim.  When I was invited by KPA to attend one of their meetings at Keni Hotel, Panjim, as an observer, I noticed how weak our Romi stalwarts were to argue our cause with the Nagrivadis.  For a major part of the discussion, I found our Romivadis were only yielding and nothing wielding. There I noticed that we lack strong leadership. This is where we lost our battle.

Secondly, after the recognition of Nagri Konknni only, I met top Nagri stalwarts who were members of KPA, they told me the draft copies of the Bill to be passed in the Assembly were kept open readily for all concerned  persons to read and give their suggestion.  But according to my information later, none of the Romi stalwarts took pain to go thru it and suggest changes as per our need.  If they had to go thru it then they would point out  the mistake .

If anyone is having any more information, it would be nice to share it here.

POLITICS OF MICHAEL LOBO.

Today’s hero of Congress Michael Lobo was the villain  of 5 years back for allegedly being instrumental in denying Congress opportunity to form its ministry when Congress  was the  clear victorious in the last election. Michael Lobo will do anything to grab power for the enhancement of his personal  interest.  During the last election he was against Congress and his clan was speaking so much ill of Congress and now it is just the opposite?

The genuine Congress workers  being the supporters  of Congress  since it  is less communal, what an irony they must be facing now  to associate with the same old folks including Lobo to work for the  same Congress for whom Lobo and his group opposed so vehemently in the last election?  What a drastic change in Lobo’s move from BJP to Congress !

 It is ok for Lobo to go with the Congress when he does not care for anything but others do  care for their  integrity, decency and above all, morality.

Now, what  guarantee is there Lobo will not defect to BJP or to any other party if they offer him the post of CM? Last  time all troubles started because everybody in the congress legislative wing was aspiring for the leadership and now  Congress is still not indicating its Chief Ministerial candidate, will history be repeated in 2022?  Time alone will answer.   

Being the voter of the same Constituency of Michael Lobo , I am sure like last time, he will  come to my  door which he remembers only once in 5 years, requesting  for my vote. At that time he should not bring any envelope with something in it because it is against the law and that what is against the law I will not accept.

BJP - CONGRESS & MICHAEL LOBO.

 

He was a villain about 5 years back in the eyes of Congress but now he is the hero and by joining the Congress party today evening as it is said, Michael Lobo  will be surely contesting the Calangute Seat not as a BJP candidate but a Congress one.  This time he will not have the smooth sailing because his votes will be splitted between him and some other like minded candidates mainly Goenco Avaz whose candidate Roshan Mathias will create a solid dent in Calangute Constituency because Roshan is very upright young man and knowledgeable too.  He is not known to have deceived anybody nor robbed anyone neither he is crook nor kept concubines in Saunta Vaddo and in the surrounding areas.  What role model a candidate can be by keeping Concubines?  Such bloody rascal  candidates what good performance they will perform in their Constituencies?  They will with the help of their Pimps and Dalals make false propaganda of their work they do in a inflated manner to give an exaggerated view of their contribution.  But as a matter of fact their performance  in their Constituencies is nothing substantial, they are only making development of their own business  and their other ventures.  Once they are elected they apply their minds for their own personal development.  Otherwise see your own MLA’s and Ministers? 

 

What did they do in your Constituencies?  They purchased big properties and constructed big buildings  for them to give for rent and make money.  When they first time contested the election they had no money but within one term they became crorepotis. From where they collected so much of money?  It is nothing but it is looted money.  Then to stop the exposure of their loot they got themselves  involved in silencing the voices of any opposition  to them in their Constituencies by using goonda force, this goonda force is  maintained by them for their own benefit.  Did they provide jobs for the young persons from your locality?  No, this they cannot do and even if they do they must have already charged you heavily and in such cases is it worth to elect or to re-elect them?  What for re-elect them?  To give them more  opportunities to exploit us? 

 

No MLA or Minister will work for you and for this reason it is not only a sin to elect such rascal candidates but it is a big sacrilege to vote for such rascals who when get elected thru your votes they will do harm for the poor people  who got nobody to help them to improve their situation.   To elect bad persons and corrupt candidates will be against our religion and still if we elect such bloody rascals then  surely we will receive harsh punishment from God.  Nobody will escape this punishment for intentionally voting the corrupt candidates.

 

Is democracy  meant  for us the Goans?  I don’t think we are worthy of it when we are on record to have molested it beyond recognition.  It is 2 decades now our politicians who got democracy in Goa on silver platter without putting in their efforts especially all the “rostad”  defector politicians  who are the real murderer  of democracy in Goa.  Every politician in Goa is making bad use of democratic process in Goa, the Goan politicians instead of utilising democratic process constructively they use it destructively thereby giving a very bad name to Democracy which is the best form of government.  The annexation of Goa by the Bharat gave to Goa nothing better  than the Democracy but the Goan politician made mockery of it by using it for his own selfish end.

 

Michael Lobo externally looked like a Nuisance value MLA for BJP but internally it looked whatever he was doing against BJP it was pre-planned it looks to me, it is just a drama and its authenticity one will come to know once he got elected and then joined BJP once again.  Michael Lobo is a good Tiatrist  and as such he knows to play his role well and in fact he will.

 

What about those candidates who were sure of getting the Congress Ticket for them to contest the election in Calangute constituency?  Were they fooled by the high command or low command with a false promise?  And  If they are really cheated by the Congress Party will they retaliate to silence  once and for all the Congress brutalities  and lying capacities?  Do these rejected gentlemen have the courage and capacity to bare the Congress?  Congress party since time immemorial were known to  cheat and yet again they did the same is not a mystery, it is their routine on which they are like cunning foxes are living.
