TIATRO "SORRY" BY MARIO MENEZES.

Yesterday 13^th of this month was the feast of ‘BOA MORTE SAIBINN” in Candolim.  In connection with this feast, Candolim Church organized at the entrance of the Church – outside – a Konkani Tiatro “SORRY” written and directed by Mario Menezes.  It was well attended by the audience who as per the reaction enjoyed it. 

Though it was scheduled to start at 7.30 PM but it started at 9.00 PM thereby putting the audience into total inconvenience.  The organisers and the director unnecessarily detained the audience on  their seats for 1.5 hours.  This is total negligience on the part of Church and director.  They are irresponsible and useless people not even apologized for this delay.  The local Pe. Vigar next time must not take the people for granted.  He must change his attitude and discipline.

Here are some pictuures of the Tiatro.

QUESTIONS TO ELECTION CONTESTANTS.

Very shortly there will be an election in Goa, some or many from the current 40 MLA’s will either be denied tickets for re-election or many will be kicked out by the electorate including some of the current ministers.   Many of them after their failure to get re-elected will fall on the road without name and fame, living as unsung and unwanted heroes even though they may have money accumulated thru corrupt practices during their heydays. Their greatest mortification will be to live like commoners without police escorts, without any importance and without any official status.

Now, my moot point  here is to demand from every political party and every independent candidate to declare in their Election Manifestoes their firm stand on CASINOS mushrooming in Goa because of which the fair image of Goa is corroded.  Because of Casinos, many of the Goans from all the Goan communities are suffering. To put an end to this suffering, we will have to put an end to this Casino business from onshore and offshore.

Secondly, all the political parties contesting the next election must disclose their clear stand on VIP culture because the ruling party members lead the life of Maharajas putting unwanted financial burden on the Exchequer thereby taxing the taxpayers. Why the ministers and other VIP’s require special Bungalows, Beacon cars and Police escorts?  Once when they were Chief Ministers, Prataphsing Rane, Luizin Faleiro and Digambar Kamat were using these facilities but not now.   Are they not living as full fledged human beings WITHOUT extraordinary princely facilities? Do they get Police protection now?

UNTRUSTWORTHY CONGRESS PARTY.

Recently, when the time came for the Congress Party in Goa to take a decision to align itself with other like-minded political parties even by Seat adjustment method, Congress refused to do so.   However, during the current Assembly sessions, Congress Party proved to be untrustworthy because the Congressmen have aligned themselves in the Assembly with the other parties to push forward the No-Confidence Motion  and also for “Walk-Out”. 

On one side the Congress Party is refusing to  align itself with other like minded parties to fight the coming election to dethrone the BJP from the power and on the other side it integrates with the same other like minded parties in  the Legislative Assembly to fight against   the government and the Speaker.  Why this duplicity like that of Dr. Jackeyl and Mr. Hyde? 

By acting in such an unreliable manner Congress is digging its own grave.  From the last Congress Dharbar, it is understood  that Congress is bent on fielding all the oldies and also the defeated candidates who I am sure will again get resounding defeat because of their corrupt practices during the last so many years.    

In conclusion, as a face saving method and to keep its presence alive in Goa, Congress Party must  better  have a tie-up with the local Political Parties namely Goa Forward and  with other like-minded parties to fight the next election.  Otherwise, in Goa, Congress will be R.I.P.
