VOTING IS A SACRED DUTY.
RIGHT TO VOTE IS A SACRED DUTY which one must perform without fail. If you fail to vote then you are failing in your duty and then you are allowing somebody who is not your choice to come and rule over you during the next five years. And when he rules the way he wants like a dictator, you curse him when you have no right to curse him because you have failed in performing in your duty. Rights and duties go together, they are like two side of the same coin. One cannot be detached from the other, both are attached to each other. Hence, it is imperative that all our people in Goa especially those who love clean Government, upright MLAs, real lovers of Goa and Romi Konkani must vote this time without fail. The importance of voting was nicely described in his article written by the well – known Goan journalist Valmiki Faleiro in Herald dated 27th of this month.
Sonia Gandhi came and addressed meetings in Goa, exhorted Goans to vote for the Congress Party back to power in order to give stable and strong Government. Yes, strong and stable Government. For what? To degoanise Goa by doling out free land to non-Goans in the name of Housing Board colonies? To vote Congress Party to permit Congress MLAS and Ministers to loot Goa? To allow the Congress MLAs and Ministers to put Government jobs on sale like “Bangdde”? Sonia Gandhi is a dictator. She was the member of the Indira Gandhi family when dictatorial Emergency rule was introduced by her mother in law whence Sonia Gandhi was silently accepting everything worst in India. All the Congressmen in Goa are dictators worst than Salazar because they don’t care for the sentiments of the public. Most of the public agitations in Goa occurred during the rule of Congress Party especially under the Chief Ministership of Prataph Rane.
About 18 months back I was in Panjim taking part in the agitation against Town and Country Planning Bill by Babush Monsurate. We were shouting slogans near the Customs House. Suddenly Goa’s Chief Minister Rane in his car passed by us but never even bothered to look at us why we are gathered there. He was busy on his mobile talking as if he was talking to Manmohan Singh. Now, let me ask this: Is it right for a leader of Goa to just pass by us ignoring us like that? What sort of this leader is who does not take care for his people? Somewhere in 1959 due to some problems, some Taxi drivers gathered together and went in a rally, shouting slogans, to the Palace of the then Portuguese Governador. From distance Governador saw them coming in a morcha and shouting slogans. Immediately Governador sent his secretary to meet the taxi drivers and asked one representative of theirs to meet him. The representative came, met with Governador and Governador in turn assured him all the help to redress their grievances with a word of advice: “Next time if you have any problem, do not come on to the streets in a show of demonstration. I will solve your problems peacefully and nicely. I am sent from Portugal to Goa to solve your problems and not to see you coming on to the streets in a manner not befitting Goan culture and moreover I don’t want to debase your decent Goan culture by provoking you to come on to the street”. Compare this attitude of Portuguese Governador with that of Rane. Who is better? Who took more care of the needs of Goans? Portuguese or Congressmen from Goa and India?
Will Congress support Romi Konkani and bring it on par with Nagri Konkani? Never. Even the recognition for Konkani earlier given during the time of Congress rule was not a “bakxis” by the Congress but it was a hard fought battle with the Congress Government by the Konknnivadis mainly the Romivadis. In this bloody battle so many precious martyrs sacrificed their Konkani blood. Congress Party has not done a favour on us by granting official status to Konkani. We fought for it and snatched from the Congress party.
Congress party is the party of “Chors”, “Bamttes” and rapists who are plundering Goa. They neither have love for Konkani nor for Romi Konkani. Up to now they have not spoken a single word in support of Romi Konkani. Loutolim Congress candidate Aleixo Sequeira when questioned said nothing on Romi Konkani. Luizin and Sardinha are still dumb. Mauwin is not making any positive statement, he is making all efforts to get elected and then he will show his “Konko” to Romi Konkani. A master crook, he knows how to play his game in a purely Congress style. Mickey Pacheco in Benaulim and Babush Monsurate in Taleigao are not speaking their minds on the issue of Romi Konkani. Margareth Alva is totally keeping her mouth shut.
Romi Konkani Front and other activitsts must immediately meet her and ask her opinion and accordingly give a call to the Romi Konkani voters. No delay should be done to implement our plans. Romi Konkani activists looks very silent. What is wrong with them? Other Congressmen are equally dumb. What they deserve now from the supporters of Romi Konkani especially from Salcette? Nothing but a Royal Kick. Tiatrists Wilmix the convenor of Romi front and his colleagues must start now a “zuz”. If the tiatrists are really supporters of Romi Konkani then they will not become the purchasable commodities from the hands of Ministers, MLA’s and Candidates belonging to Congress, BJP, MGP and all others who are not supporting Romi Konkani issue. I see some of the politicians especially from Congress Party sponsoring Tiatro advertisements. Is it to gain cheap publicity at the cost of Tiatros and Tiatrists which is a prt of Romi Konkani?

Goa Election and Fr. Concecao
Fr. Conceisao should be disciplined by the Church for not obeying its directives.
Election Officers should also book him for violating election code of conduct by 'Mixing the Mass', church, Altar, preaching, etc, with politics
I know for sure, there is a sizable number of voters switched sides because of Fr. Conceisao political preaching.

MEETING IN KUWAIT ON GOA ELECTION
GOA ELECTION MEETING IN KUWAIT.
Kuwait Goans are always on forefront amongst all the expatriate Goans to show their concern for Goa and the events taking place in Goa. In view of this and as usual, maintaining their tradition, in Kuwait city on Friday 25th of this month, A. Veronica Fernandes convened a meeting of like minded Goans who are equally concerned of the forthcoming election in Goa on 2nd June 2007. It was a very good discussion held and some of the speakers spoke openly and boldly so also loudly on the candidates and their parties and their demands. Tiatrist Rosary Ferns in his speech said Tiatrists in Goa can do a lot to force the candidates to promise to get the Romi Konkani Bill passed but do our Tiatrists have a genuine will to do so? I doubt, he said, because on the eve of the poll candidates will pour money and make some of the otherwise vocal Tiatrists dumb. He further said some of the Tiatrists are become purchasable commodities. Their love for Roman Script Konkani is very shallow. Otherwise, they must all join together and in one voice they must ask their candidates in every constituency that they will support Romi Konkani. Further Rosary said, Mickey Pacheco should be asked by the voters from Colva and other villages of Benaulim constituency that Pacheco should remain faithful to his party, give top priority for Romi Konkani issue and work for the upliftment of Goan causes. Rosary also said that of course dejectingly that Konkani issue is not important for the MLAs and candidates because it does not fetch them any remuneration. It is only a good slogan as an election gimmick. Then he added, our Romi Konkani issue will remain unresolved like Kashmir issue between India and Pakistan because Congress Party and its candidates and MLAs and Ministers are not faithful to it. We so much relied on Congress but it does not support our issue of Romi Konkani.
Luis Cardoso in his normally witty argument said that why priest don’t contest election instead of openly supporting this candidate and that candidate? The Church of Goa is not under one principle because of this unprincipled stand of the Church, one priest is supporting Luizin Faleiro by blessing his campaign openly while in the same constituency another priest giving his blessing for Churchill Alemao of Save Goa Front. Fr. Conceicao is saying support Congress because it is the only secular party while the other priest from the same Goa Church saying support Save Goa Front because it is a party of upright Goans. Then which priest is giving the right guidance to the faithfuls? Which priest is giving instructions to the faithfuls as per the policy of the Church and by the way what is the policy of Goa Church? Is Patriarch sleeping at Altino?
Supporting Luis stand, Elvino Rodrigues argued that recently in Philippines one T - Shirt priest contested election and got elected. Why our priests cannot do the same instead of openly supporting their favourite candidates sometimes for their own selfish benefits? Some years back 5 priests were the members of the Ministry formed in one the Countries in South America and they had the approval of the Vatican to do this. Further Elvino argued that the work done by the current MLAs and Ministers is of minor importance and whatever they did it was not a favour on the people. They are elected to do this job only and not to bark like dogs saying “I did this road, that electrical jobs etc”. He further said Dayananda Narvenkars projects such as IT Park will never fetch jobs for Goans. As in other cases, the jobs there will go for non-Goans only for a price. Aldona constituency voters should be very careful of Narvenkar and if possible now only they must get an undertaking from Narvenkar that he would not proceed further on his pet projects against the wishes of the local Goans otherwise, voters there should reject him and priests from Aldona Constituency Churches must awaken the people there against the menace of Narvenkar’s projects including the Cricket Stadium which is not favoured by the locals. Elvino also said with regards to Romi Konkani that priests must openly campaign for this cause because the proceedings oral and written conducted in the Church are organized in Roman script Konkani only otherwise "Novo Korar" and other liturgical works of the Church in Roman script “ghal Igorjechea Dobean”.
Manuel Goes and Alex de Consua said in no way Mathanay Saldanha should be voted back to power in Cortalim because he is a traitor and revengeful man. In order to take his revenge against Congress, Mathanay Saldanha supported communal and anti-Christian BJP when he was elected on anti-BJP platform. They also said Mauwin is a number of cunning and anti-Goan because of this anti-Goan attitude of his he naturalized all the Ghanttis at Birlanagar and created a vote Bank for him. Raymond D’Sa may be an ideal candidate and electing a new man like Raymond D’Sa may help. Helping a non-Goan to get elected in Cortalim as Sarpanch by Mauwin Godinho was condemned by all.
Everybody agreed that to create a vote Bank for certain candidates, especial Housing colonies are created in many places in Goa. But on whose plots? On Government plots where non-Goans are given priorities. Are these MLA’s and Montris fit to serve Goans? It was in one voice everybody agreed that we should not vote for BJP because they are communal, anti-Christian, anti-Konkani like MGP and anti-Romi Konkani. Though BJP men are not as “Chors” and as “Bamtte” as Congressmen are.
Everybody agreed that Churchill Alemao is much better than Luizin Faleiro and all the Navelimkar attending the meet agreed to advise their nearest and dearest back home to vote for Churchill Alemao because he declared his support for Romi-Konkani while Luizin Faleiro like a cunning fox and a political crook is keeping his total silence on this issue. One thing Navelkars must agree that Churchill must not defect to any other party because in the coming election no single party will get majority. The result of election will be “Torre de Babel”. It was unanimously agreed by all the attendees to tell their family members back home in Goa not to vote for Congress party back to power because including the number one fraud Margareth Alva, most of the Congressmen are Chor and anti-Romi Konkani.
It was also agreed by all to request the Taleigao voters to get a firm undertaking from Babush Monsurate that he will support Romi-Konkani, he will not any more indulge in Town and Country Planning bill nor in Regional Plan for Goa neither he will defect to any other party. All the speakers in one voice loudly said “Not To Vote for UGDP” which is a big joke because they are selling their MLAs like “Bangdde”. UGDP has no control over its MLAs. The whole tamasha of election in Goa is made by UGDP. It was also agreed that if Congress gets a chance to form Ministry, in no way Rane should be made Chief Minister again because he lost his brain cells. Rane is a traitor for this reason thru chickanery he is inducting his son into Assembly thru side door. And while Rane is playing his tricks to get his son into the Assembly making the whole Congress a “chutiya”, Volkott Margareth Alva is silently watching the whole tamasha, of course nodding her shameless head to Rane. Alva finally will tear Congress in Goa into pieces and disappear into oblivion. She was rejected in Mangalore by Mangaloreans. We in Goa get only the rejected “Kolgim” to suck Goa.
While concluding the meet, everyone wished Goans in Goa all the best to elect all the best candidates.
