NATIONAL PARTIES UNFIT TO RULE GOA.

National Parties Have Lost The Right To Govern Goa.

By now most of us must be familiar with situation in which the Gujarat cop Sanjiv Bhatt is, all because of the stand he took against the fascist regime of Narender Modi. In the quagmire of Indian politics, fry the guy who dares to speak against the regime is still a way of life. And I was thinking we had bypassed the barbaric era and living in the 21st century of democracy, oh, how wrong was I ?

Narender Modi the butcher of Gujarat is a tyrant indeed and cop Sanjiv Bhatt has realized it the hard way but what could he do ? Truth cannot be kept silent forever, sooner than later truth evolves and ascertains itself. We all know why Sanjiv Bhatt is being terrorized by the power that be in Gujarat ? But as always, we do nothing. Cop Sanjiv Bhatt has received threats on his life, his wife too fears for his safety but will anyone dare to stand against the butcher of Gujarat ?

If Gujarat is being ruled by tyranny, Goa is not far behind, today’s paper carries a headline on the inside page “Viswajeet threatened to kill me”. It merely substantiates the arrogance of our Goan politicians, to stay in power they will do anything and everything, as they have the resources at their disposal, some even in uniform, ever ready to carry out their master’s commands.

A few weeks back there was blood bath on the streets of Panjim, alleged to be a gang war between two politically backed rivals, few years back, the now education minister had attacked the head quarters of the Goa police at Panjim in broad daylight, in Margao too we have seen our CM cozying with the antisocial elements of Monti Dongor, our opposition leader Manohar Parrikar too has displayed ample sympathy for the migrant goons of Chimbel, the brothers of south Goa too let loose their goons on anti maga-projects and anti-mining activists, so do we really need to be rocket scientists to assume why our politicians like to have packs of dogs with them ?

Even though we have dime a dozens, it takes just one crass politician to desecrate the divinity of the once sacred profession of politics, where politics was a mere extension of social service, which unfortunately our politicians have turned into a resounding personal business profession today and has become the unalloyed epitome of evil and all that we do is watch in sepulchral silence of a cemetery. They even visit different Holy places, for Poojas, masses, novenas and even Haj, but still spirituality and morally ennobling ideas somehow continue to elude them.

It is now for the people to assert their collective will on those elected to serve us but have betrayed our trust and are guilty of both collective incompetence as well as collective complicity in the sins of commission and omission. Their congenital and colloquial affinity for corruption has epitomized the evil in Goan politics. As fish rots from the head downwards, so to the present governance in Goa and the illegal mining scam has amply proved it, so our message to them at the next election must be unequivocal: Both National Parties have lost the right to govern Goa. Vasectomy can never be the solution for serial rapists, only castration can be the answer.Freddy

GOA IS HAVING A "PONCH" DGP DR. ADITYA ARYA.

THE DGP WHO ONLY TALKS.
By Aires Rodrigues.

Good and competent officers talk less. Goa’s DGP, Dr Aditya Arya, has been lecturing a lot but there has been no action on the ground.Having witnessed the DGP himself succumb to the political pulls and pressures, what else can we expect from his subordinates? I have hadfirst hand experience interacting with the DGP for no personal favours but over three issues in public interest.

On the case relating to the cheating of the State exchequer by two advocates the DGP assured me of immediate action. However thein structions he gave were to the contrary. If one cannot trust the DGP what can one expect from a constable? Similar was the fate of the complaint I filed against the Director of Prosecution for having caused financial loss to the State exchequer. I was also promised immediate action in the recovery of the Rs 4, 33, 200 from former IGPK.D.Singh’s for the repairs of the official car damaged by his son.That too has been shelved by the DGP for reasons best known.

On Sunday 16th October the DGP drove to Gokarn in Karnataka for the day with his official Innova vehicle without seeking prior permission of the State Government as was required when an officer leaves the State. He also misused his official vehicle on his day out on a picnic. Showing his men Singham and lecturing them on Gandhigiri may be an exercise in futility. Five months is long enough to judge the credibility, honesty and competence of an officer. Mr. DGP, you have failed the test. Will the people of Goa extend Dr Arya’s period of probation. I would not.
