In Goa, the biggest politician rascals are located in Salcette. Once upon a time, Salcette politicians have helped the good causes of Goa and for doing so they even had to face lot of troubles for themselves. But now many of the Salcette politicians are on war footing to loot and to destroy Goa. They don’t care for anything, not even for their religious principles; they are shameless creatures of this planet. And worst part of it all is this that they are backed and supportred by their respective voters blindly. Gone were the days when Salcette voters elected good candidates to take care not only of Salcette but also of Goa. But now Salcette voters are electing corrupt candidates to destroy Goa. Most of the current voters are become "chamchas" of the political heavyweights who exploit every weakness of their voters to induce them to vote for them blindly, of course bribingly.
Goa in the past was saved from disaster by our Saxttikars whose contributions during the Opinion Poll and Language agitation were really worth admiring. From Kuwait I salute them all for their good work. But will they act upright now in the coming election or will they elect the same corrupt people to liquidate Goa and genuine Goans from our soil?
The late premier of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto when he was in prison waiting for the gallows, wrote a masterpiece titled "IF I AM ASSASSINATED" where he made the following bold statement against those who perpetrated this gallows on him:
My sons will not be my sons, they will be Bastards if they dont take the revenge on those who are sending me to the gallows. Who are my sons? Shanawaz and Murtaza Bhutto and all the sons of Pakistan are my sons".
Thru this bold statement, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto encouraged his own sons first and all the sons of Pakistan to teach a very good lesson to his opponents headed by General Zia. And in fact, they all tought a very good lesson to Zen Zia and his government.
Similarly I call upon the Saxttikars now, if they are real sons and daughters of real Saxttikar fathers, they will teach a very good lesson to all the corrupt candidates by defeating them in the coming election. It is these corrupt Saxttikar politicians who brought a bad name to Salcette and disgraced Goa as well. If Goa is going to be saved for our future generation then Saxttiakar voters will have to be very strong against all the corrupt strong candidates of Salcette. In fact I have full confidence that Salcette voters will throw out the same old corrupt faces in the next election. In doing so they will lose nothing because by electing them again they will gain nothing for them either. The corrupt elected people will do good only for their own family members who are the major beneficiaries of the election.
According to the latest information, purchasing of votes in Navelim, Colva, Benaulim, Nuvem and other places has already been started. In this connection I advise the people in the words of the late Dr. Jack Sequeira, "If money is given for votes, please accept it and enjoy it but never vote for the candidates who gives you money". It is robbed and looted moneny from the public.
If yesterday Goa was saved it was only because of the efforts of Saxttikars and if it is going to be saved tomorrow and for the future, it will be only by the uncorrpt and upright Saxttikars. Hence, all my Saxttikar voters, elect new faces and destroy corrupt old faces.

NAVELKARS MUST CONTROL CHURCHILL'S POLITICAL DADAGERI.
Among all the Goan politicians Churchill Alemao is the most compassionate and the most aggressive politician. To fulfil his ambition he will go to any extent. When he was denied a berth by Rane in his ministry in late eighties, he alongwith his rebel colleagues including Mauwin Godinho piloted the defection, overthrew Rane Government and formed PDF Government under his leadership first for a few days and later on handing the leadership baton over to Dr. Proto Barbosa. Churchill Alemao was not a genuine congressman, now he is in congress house only for his own convenience. In the last election he got elected on ticket from anti-congress party and defeated congressman Luizinho Faleiro. But true to his original self he betrayed his own party on whose ticket he got elected and jumped into congress party with a prize catch of PWD portfolio. This ministry is the most lucrative ministry to make fast and vast money, of course illicitly without any shame either for one’s conscience nor for one’s religious doctrine. For this reason everyone is eying on this ministry.
Churchill Alemao has got one very bad habit to say "to hell with you, with your party and with your system, I will do whatever I want to do to get what I want". In view of this if he gets elected in the coming election though insiders are doubtful of his victory because Navelkars are hell bent to teach him a very good lesson on 3rd March because of his arrogance, what guaranty is there he will not repeat his old dirty habit of defection? The name Churchill Alemao is synonym with political arrogance and defection. Because of his defection habits for his personal gains the political life in Goa is become corrupt which affects the entire Goa. Churchill Alemao’s habits are bad of changing his party once he gets elected but the habits of his voters are worst by electing him inspite of his dirty habit of not being faithful to the party on whose ticket he gets elected.
Now a few days are remaining for the election. The great people of Navelim the decendents of the great Goan politician Dr. Francis Luis Gomes who shook Europe and Portugal Parliament by being the most upright politician, must get a full assurance from Churchill Alemao that this time he will not play the game of political prostitution. By acting like a political prostitute he brings bad name for his family members and commits a sin against his own religion. The constituents of Navelim mut rise and rise now only against his likely defection to any party that satisfies his political ambition.
In Kuwait the Navelkars are grouped under their Navelim banner, they have intelligent members who understand clean political game. They must also now raise their unified voice against Churchill’s dirty politics once he is elected. He should be accountable to the people of his constituency.
Likewise we have more Churchill Alemaos in Goa such as Biswajeet Rane, Monsurate and others. All the voters in such constituencies must also raise their voices in unison against changing of the party once they are elected. The dirty political games played by a few selfish politicians are destroying the political peace of Goa.
And Churchill's dirty political game creates adverse effect on Goa for which the voters from Navelim constituency in general and Navelim village in particular are responsible.

THE BJP IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO THE CONGRESS.
THE BJP IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO THE CONGRESS
By Aires Rodrigues
Politics and elections today are no longer a noble mission. It has become a business enterprise, in fact a form of private partnership where candidates invest to reap high dividends. The lust and crave to field your own family and friends, as close partners, has taken politics to a very new low.
MLA’s are elected to debate and legislate good laws for the State. That should have been their pivotal and only role. Unfortunately MLA’s have hijacked the day to day administration of the State. The bureaucracy has succumbed to political pressure by surrendering all their independence and are reduced to mere stooges of the politicians.
For the ensuing Assembly elections political parties have fielded some good and worthy candidates while there are some outstanding independent candidates like Rohan Khaunte in Porvorim, Avertano Furtado in Navelim and Tulio De Souza in Saligao who should be given an opportunity to prove their legislative skills. The people of Goa should ensure that those directly or indirectly connected with illegal mining should not be even in the zone of consideration. There couldn’t be a bigger crime than damaging Mother Nature just to amass those filthy crores.
The BJP is mistrusted and there may be reasons for it. The manner in which their own North Goa MP Mr. Sripad Naik was humiliated leaves much to ponder. If a senior leader like Sripad Naik was treated so shabbily and tossed away what hope is there for the ordinary workers.
If Sripad Naik could not get justice, no one within the local BJP will. As Opposition Leader, Mr. Manohar Parrikar has neither been aggressive nor consistent. Issues that should have been raised and highlighted by the Opposition have had to be pursued by ordinary citizens. Democratic functioning is a key to the prosperity and well being of any political party. Manohar Parrikar’s dictatorial, one who claims “I know everything”, which attitude has not changed nor will.
Over the last few years I had felt that the BJP may be an alternative to govern Goa. But after having been myself a witness of the party’s misconduct I can no longer vouch that.

At the Corporation of City of Panaji elections, last year, the BJP and its leader Manohar Parrikar in particular aggressively campaigned against me. Mr. Parrikar did not even care to heed the advice and request of many of his BJP MLA’s and other leaders who had requested him to support me.
I was expecting the BJP to back me, at least as a gesture for the open support I had given them over the years. In a way the CCP election was an opportunity for me to have a first hand experience of BJP’s true colors and its non-secular credentials.

Both the Congress and BJP are weighed down with their glaring misdeeds. So the way forward may be for Goans to select and elect the best candidate from those in the fray. If we can elect a batch of 40 good legislators, Goa may be able to move out from the current rot if finds itself submerged in. As political parties and their alliances are only concerned about themselves, it may be a good idea to vote for individuals for a change and give the political parties a break on 3rdMarch. Not voting on party lines but for the finest candidate may be the way to go.
