LESSON FOR CONGRESS PARTY.

As reported in Herald dated 28.10.16, Congress remarked that the results of the just concluded Municipal election is a rebuff to BJP and in the coming election in 2017 Congress will root out the saffron party. 

According to my observation, it is impossible for Congress Party independently to knock-down BJP from the power.  Congress will have to align with the likeminded partners to fight the next election.  If Congress feels the recent Civic poll results is a Barometer to measure its strength and the weakness of BJP then Congress is sadly mistaken.  Congress will again face humiliation in 2017 if it does not correct its past mistakes of fielding corrupt,  goonda, womeniser, gambler and bribe receiver candidates.   

 I am sure Congress will fail again if it fields the defeated candidates and old guards.  It should be noted that people will again reject the earlier defeated candidates because they are corrupt Congressmen who looted the public.  Because they are corrupt, people voted them out.  In view of it, they along with old guards should be denied the election tickets in 2017.  Congress should learn from Vijay Sardesai in Fatorda how he got his panel elected  in the last Civic Poll by fielding young and new faces. 

If Congress really wants to win the coming election then Congress must declare in its manifesto the austerity and simplicity measures for its candidates once they are elected.  These measures are: No VIP culture for any elected member, no taking of bribe, declaration of the source of assets of every election contestant, no residing at Panjim Altinho Bungalow and outright rejection of any person against whom a FIR is filed.  Can Congress Party do this? If yes, then well.  If not, then Congress Party must forget even of contesting the next election just as it did in the recent Civic poll.

IS CANDOLIM PANCHAYAT PROMOTING CASINOS?

In Candolim at Dando, there is one big hotel having in its premises a Casino.  Since locals are objecting to this Casino, during the last Candolim Village Gram Sabah, concerned locals raised this issue for which the Panchayati authority replied saying that it is functioning illegally and necessary action will be taken to stop this Casino.

However, according to my latest information, this Casino is still functioning and that too legally with  all the licenses issued by all the legal authorities including the local.  Candolim Panchayat must clear this point, if I am wrong,  otherwise this issue will take a very serious turn for Candolim Panchayat.

According to my observation, Candolim Panchayat administration is not into the hands of upright persons and its ruling faction is owing its allegiance to the Congress Party because the main controller of this Panchayat thru remote control is one  strong Congressman who was an earlier legislator.  He is purely in a Congress culture acquired all the corrupt practices to amass wealth. There should be a CBI enquiry on his disproportionate  assets.  Being a Congressman he is well versed in collecting money thru dubious means from the people starting any project in Candolim.  If the project is not viable legally, he still allows the owner of the project to start with it but  later on demands extortion money to prevent from initiating legal action.  While these corrupt practices are going on, the local Panchayat keeps its mouth shut because as per my source the members of the ruling faction are paid their quota of bribe.

This is the trend in most of the Panchayats in Goa, devised by the corrupt Panchayati leaders.  Otherwise how till yesterday a man without proper source of income today becomes the owner of the fleet of most expensive cars and chains of hotels? On top of it, this crook politician to fool the masses calls himself  a member of the Bahujan Samaz.  Can a person from Bahujan Samaz afford to own such expensive Cars and Hotels?  These politicians to get elected equate themselves with the lowest class and lowest castes but once elected they act as highest class and highest castes.

As an extra information, one more Casino is likely to start in Candolim at Pintos Vaddo,  in the hotel owned  by the corrupt Congressman. In view of this, all the locals who are fighting for justice and clean life in our locality first and then in other parts of Goa, now only must start a campaign to demolish his chances of contesting 2017 election. Otherwise he will turn our locality into an open brothel and a corrupt sinful locality.

TIATRO "VIVA LONDON" BY TOMAZINHO CARDOSO.

 

NEW TIATRO "VIVA LONDON"

 

Opening Trio Song

 

Yesterday, 20^th of this month, Tuesday, I saw the new Tiatro  of the well known writer-director Tomazinho Cardoso, at Kala Academy A/C Hall, at 7.00 PM.  The hall was packed to capacity and it was at noon itself that the all tickets sold situation declared.  This was something unimaginable but became imaginable only because of the name and fame of Tomazinho Cardoso as the best script writer and director having won laurels in this field innumerable times in the past.

 

Duet by Akash & Queeny

 

I know Tomazinho Cardoso since very young age as a singer in the Church as a small boy, as a singer on the Stage in the local Tiatros especially Church orgnised ones and as a Tiatrist in my locality and elsewhere in Goa.  He is a versatile personality from very young age gifted with lot of specialities but Tiatro being his forte.  He is also a great Mandoist having won best prizes in the Mando Festival competitions in both the categories, original and traditional. Besides,  he was gifted with very good soccer talent which he displayed from very early age in Candolim and in ambient villages and also at Inter Collegiate tourneys.  He was a very good ball player with powerful left footer thru which he scored many goals. It was just a pleasure to play along with him.  If he had to concentrate a little more, he would easily walk into any of the then top clubs of Goa such  as Salgaocar, Dempo, Sesa, Shantilal and Vasco.  He was a very decent player on the field and a non - belligerent.

A scene: Irene - Christopher - Carvalho

 

As a politician all knows his credentials and I need not further elaborate on this. But one thing I stress here is that during his long tenure as a Sarpanch he did not indulge in corruption and looting the village as it was done after him.  He served the village by acting upright without any sex or money scandal. He is a top bilingual writer and his writings are spread everywhere even in the form of books. 

 

Duet by: Maria Cardoso & Joao Cardosso

 

His Tiatro Viva London presented by Kala Mogi, Candolim raised the name of Candolim to the pedestal and it had a special class in itself in the sense it gives a very good lesson to those who blindly aspire for life in London and in the end suffer miseries.  Irene Cardoso carry maxim credit for playing the role of the mother, then comes Shivanand Naik as her son and then Selza Lopes as the British wife.  Comedy role was well played by Christopher.  The role played by Edwin as Panty was good but the statements exchanged on him referring to his name as Panty sounded a bit vulgar and unpalatable. It looked to be an undignified part of the otherwise dignified play by the dignified playwright. 

 

One more scene

 

The Side-Show songs were good but the duet rendered by Queeny with Akash  was worth admiring especially the way they rendered it with mellifluent voices.  The duet rendered by Joao Cardoso with Maria Cardoso was excellent so also the romantic solo of Maria Cardoso.  The duo of Tomazinho Cardoso with Luis was politically meaningful. 

Duo: Tomazinho & Luis

 

Well done Tomazinho Cardoso and his troupe.  So also Kala Mogi, Candolim.
