THE REVOLUTIONARY GOANS PARTY
February 18, 2022
ELECTIOIN FEVER IS SUBSIDED. - PART I.
Finally the voting for the Election of 2022 for the Goa Legislative Assembly was over with the participation of 11.64 lakhs electorates plus 301 candidates from 12 political parties with the Independentes as well. 13 Candidates from one single Constituency i.e. Siolim is the highest number of candidates in one single constituency.
The first election for the Goa
Legislative Assembly was held in 1963 when the electorates were not matured
compared to the present ones. In fact the first election in Goa was held immediately
after the conquest of Goa by the Nehru’s government in Delhi and it was for
Village Panchayats all over Goa. This
was the first election in Goa but history tells us that Goa organiised
elections much earlier for the Municipalities and to the Portuguese Parliament
where Goa used to send two of Goa’s representatives, one from the North and the other from the South. For Indian Ghantees elections may be some
NOVIDADE but surely not for Goans. Inspite of this Goans goofed somewhere
during the election process. In the first election for the Goa Les. Assembly, the two major political parties were United
Goans headed by Dr. Jack de Sequeira and
the other Maharastrawadi Gomantak Party whose symbol was Lion while that of UG
Hand and that of Congress of Pandit
Jawaharlal Nehru was Cow. Even though the Congress Party was enjoying enormous amount of goodwill and strong
support almost from all over India but in Goa it received a strong defeat
winning not a single seat in Goa. One of
the reasons according to our elders for this defeat was the anger of senior
Goans against the forcible annexation of Goa by
India by using the mighty Military Force against Goa without taking
major portion of Goans into confidence.
No doubt the overwhelming number of Goans were wanting the Portuguese to
leave Goa peacefully and voluntarily
handing Goa into the hands of Goans but not the way it was invaded in the name
of liberation thereby Goans are made strangers in their own land where they are losing all their Goan attributes and
characteristics. This negative feeling of Goans against Congress Party of Nehru
provoked huge number of Goans to vote against Congress.
Since the fight was between
the UGP and the MGP that was the worst
hard core Hindu fanatic party which was the strong anti-Christian because they were
zealous of all round development and the progress made by the Christians. But in reality Goan Christian were fit for
nothing exceptional except for Beber – Cumer & Fuder, as it was taught to us by the Portuguese, hence it was wrong to say that
Christians in Goa were advanced, they are not, the entire economy of Goa was
into the hands of Hindus, they are more hard working; the major industry of GoA,
MINING was in totality into the hands of Hindus, namely Chowgules, Salgaocars, Timble, Dempos ad others. Where are the Fernanbdeses, D'Souzas and others gone? The trade and commerce was
into their hands only, most of the educated professionals in Goa are Hindus
namely Doctors and Engineers. Christians
went to the Gulf, Africa, Canada, USA,
UK and Tarvar and minus the Gulf residents all others settled in those
countries where they went. The entire
Gulfies and Tarvotti clan thru their fatty remittance they inflated the economy
of Goa but like typical with buttlers
mentality they did not build their small
scale industries nor they invested their money in something productive neither
they pressurized the local Goa Government
in helping them in that direction. With the strength of their moneey power they
only constructed the big houses spending lakhs of rupees, purchased Limousines which fall into dead investment.
Then they purchased flats at Altinhos to create a posh image of themselves as
residents of high profile residential
areas that they would get as a big show
which they wanted very much because they
lacked the sophisticated image that even denied to them the prominent places
for them in the society. This is due to
the discriminatory attitude of our Goan society.
Now coming back to the jokes
Goans made of themselves during the first eAssembly election let me cite one
concrete example. An elderly lady was
told by her son this: “Mae tum bhitor voch ani thuimsor tukam te dakoitolet
Ek zago zuim tum eklich astoli
thuimsor tum tujem mot gal HATAK mhonchem
Tum tuzo Xikko mar
Hatacher”. Ti babddi bhitor gheli ani
aplo Xikko apleach haticher marlo and ballot paper bhitor ghatlem dhobean ani
aili khoxen bhoron apnem applem vhodd kam kelem mhonn. Pun maguir gomtoch tinem kitem kelem tem,
putak ani herank sogleank ekdom loz zali.
During the election campaigning, both the MGP and the UGP were firing each other by coining very attractive slogans. MGP coined this: Bhavani ani bhoinani tumchim mortam chotraen ghalat, hatikui patienakant and Ghaikui patienakat kiteak HAT KORIT TUMKAM.

As
the election day is coming closer, some sort of nervousness is
coming just by having a feeling that the Goenkars who boast of their slogan of “Goa & Goykarponn” is most
probably coming to an end because of my so
called brothers regionally, traditionally, culturally, linguistically,
geographically and in so many other ways are becoming day by day unreliable though we
both on both the sides inhale the same air and drink the water from the same
earth. Though my so called Goan brothers
and sisters are become so corrupt that for the sake of one small Envelope
containing 6 Currency Notes totaling to Rs.6000/-what a pity it is to see
these my brothers and sisters are falling prey to the 6 Currency Notes of Rs. 500/- each. Thru this bribe by our Representatives they
proved to everyone who received this envelope they are nothing but Prostitutes.
The job of the Prostitute and the recipient of Money Envelopes is the
same, both are doing the same type
of job of giving some sorts of service in exchange of money. Leave aside those voters whose financial
position is very poor and because of poverty line they can be allowed to
receive the envelopes but definitely NOT the affluent ones. Good that during the Opinion Poll Time such
Goans were not existing otherwise Dayananda Bandodcar and his group would
capture the entire Goa and give it into the hands of Maharastra. On top of it, these people are taking pride in moving in society with
their heads high while they sell their votes.
Votes are not saleable item, it is priceless item not meant for sale for
Rs. 1000/- or 3000/- or 5000/-. In such a
situation I don’t think we are fit to be an electoral democracy. Unless we are economically sound we should not
not go for electoral democracy otherwise we
will prove that we are the most
stupid creatures on this planet giving everything to our politicians who like barberians are exploiting our weakness to the maximum and thus become richer and sricher and we are becoming bankrupt. Shame on us for allowing our leaders to exploit us.
In One of the local Newspapers in an interview he gave, Vijay Sardesai the man who played the most foul game in Goan politics 5 years back by defecting to BJP inspite of promising openly that he will never, indicated his remorse offering his apology. Vijay, you are so stupid that I pray to God not to give a son of your type to any of the Goan parents, such a wicked you are. The damage that you did for Goa by defecting to BJP is of such a colossal magnitude that its effects has created very bad results for the benefit of Goa and Goans and in the bargain you benefitted tremendously while those who were sincere and opposing you suffered immensely. Do you care for such apologies, these apologies are like jokes for you, being a politician you are accustomed to live in such a situation, you have already robbed us Goans, I feel ashamed to call you a Goan, it is a shame on Goans to associate with you. After defecting, you made so much of money and obtained so many benefits, can you return everything that you gained during the last so many years you were in the Ministry during your time of holding the lucrative portfolio under Parricar? My dear Voters from Fatorda Constituency you still have sufficient time to teach Vijay Sardesai a very good lesson in the voting romorrow, knowing his situation is very bad to get elected he took refuge in the Congress Party another party of crooks who accepted Vijay in their fold. This is the job of Cheddio who are making us to dance totheir tune. They take us wherever they go and like babies we are following them without any shame and on top of it we call ourselves as advanced people in India. It is bort Congress need Vijay but Vijay need Congress and to get him a shelter of political nature he jumpped into Congress. And by chance, once he is elected he will definitely act the way he wants thus proving that he is an illegitimate son of his parents
The greatest defect in our electoral system is the defective law on defection, it is giving lot of scope to play on this law, it requires some changes which the Centre must initiate if it wants our political and democratic system to work properly. The little change brought in it was in the aftermath of Indira Gandhi’s assassination when Rajiv Gandhi became the premier but that is not enough, hence Central Government with its power in the Parliament must initiate the change otherwise Centre must not blame those Indians who are asking for the amendment in this law, by calling them as anti-Natioanal. Anti-National are those who want to create disorder in our political system by making ill use of the Defection law facility. We Indians had to sacrifice the life of one of our mighty world renown Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to initiate a minor amendment in the defection law, if she was not assassinated Rajiv Gandhi would not ascend to her throne. Because he occupied her chair he went into the amendment. Now do we have to wait for another assassination similar to what we already had to bring in the required rigid amendment into this law of defection? As it is, all the bastardised Law makers are reluctant to do this job because they are the promoters of defection.
So, many benefits are
promised by the so many political parties to the people of Goa once they form
the government. But will it happen? Will those parties come to power?
Do they have the power to woo the voters towards them and to vote for them in the tomorrow's election and form the
ministry in the second week of March? Fighting an election is not fighting with your opponent with “Sannicho Mundo” nor with Uzeachem Agttem” though I wish everyone all the success.
Finally, let us all go
for voting and do our duty appropriately. But I have full confidence in our Voters that they will do the justice to their precious votes and act accrdingly at the time of voting. Meantime, I have strong faith in God and in the prayer which can do any greatest miracles of the type we get in the Biblical Book of Jeshua. It said that when Joshua wanted the nSunlight to fight the battle against his enemies he had no choice but go on his Knees and pray very fervently to God to keep the Sun Light intact without going down since the time was approaching it to go down in which case Jshua would lose his battle. Listening to his prayer God who is omnipotent kept the Sun intact for 24 hours without moving an inch further till Joshua fought his war AND GOT THE VICCTORY. So, let us ALL THE FAITHFUL PRAY FOR ALL THE GOAN VOTERS TO CAStT THEIR VOTES TO THE RIGHT CANDIDATES WHO WILL DO JUSTICE TO THEIR JOB IN THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.
