AN ALERT FOR THE NEXT ELECTION 2017.

For the next election most of the political parties especially the two major ones are still not woken up to declare their candidates nor their election manifestos. The two major political parties Congress and BJP have failed the electorate in the past and now what guarantee is there they will not repeat the same mistake once again?

Congress has failed its supporters by not confirming its alliance with other like minded parties. Without alliance it is impossible for Congress to win even 5 Seats on its own individual capacity with the current oldies who have lost their sanity and the last defeated corrupt candidates again contesting the next election. If the leadership of Congress Party in Goa does not accept this reality then this very same leadership will  be responsible not only for Congress debacle but surely even for the demise of Congress in Goa.

This Congress in Goa came to the fore like a thief and it will disappear like a thief only because it is manned by thieves only otherwise let us know how these Congressmen minted money starting from the present leader.  When they started their political career they were penniless but later on they became crorepotis. From where and how this happened?  This question must be posed to all the Congress candidates when they come for electioneering in our villages and constituencies. We want to know how some corrupt Congressmen accumulated fleet  of most expensive cars and built big Hotels without doing any job? 

The BJP must feel ashamed to ask for votes again when during the current term it failed in fulfilling its major promises namely getting Special Status for Goa, getting rid of Casinos, giving clean governance etc. It miserably failed in sanctifying in the Legislative Assembly the bill for MOI when some of its members gave it in writing that they will do the needful failing which they will resign from their Seats. BJP a communal party is in the process of silently liquidating Christians and Christianity from Goa. 


Up to now Tourism Ministry under fanatic Hindu Parulencar is not starting Shacks business on the beaches. Why this inconvenience for the Shack owners? Is it because this business is dominated by the Christians?  Cow slaughtering is banned to punish Christians from beef eating.  So Christians must not eat what BJP's Hindus are not eating?Denying Christians the government jobs on flimsy ground is another way to silently force them out from Goa. Cutting grants to Church run schools will be yet another method to finish Christians and Christianity from Goa. Under BJP Christians in Goa will have to face lot of persecution and our Christian  BJP MLA’s & Ministers will have no marbles in their Underwears to challenge their BJP leaders just as Mathanay Saldanha did not challenge Parricar when he cancelled important holidays for Christians.

Whoever they may be and whatever parties they may belong to, one thing we need to know from the contestants contesting the next election and for which I will insist at least in my constituency the following details from them:

What are the sources of their income and how did they acquire their wealth. Once elected, will they acquire the robes of Maharajas by leading the life of a feudal lord? Will they follow VIP culture or live like commoner by identifying with the common folks? Will they indulge in extorting sex in exchange of official favours and will they  accept bribe for doing the official work?

THE LATE SHASHIKALA KAKODCAR.

The greatest enemies of Goa and Goans were Dayananda Bandodcar and his daughter Shashikala Kakodcar who fought vigorously to liquidate Goa and Goans.  They both used their political and official might to further their fight to victory but true Goans fought against their sinister move to protect Goa from getting into extinction. This was during the Opinion Poll when as a young school boy I was kept occupied even by neglecting my studies and other necessities in campaigning and canvassing for TWO LEAVES a symbol of anti-merger in order to oppose their move to merge Goa with Maharastra.

May her soul rest in peace and may the heavenly God forgive her for fighting against Goa, Goans and Konkani.  She gave lot of sleepless nights to genuine Goans to devise ways and means to counter her moves against the interest of Goa. Our elders also faced lot of inconveniences to defeat her moves.  Thank God both she and her father are dead and gone. It would have been better if her father had to go earlier in which case there would be smooth sailing for non-mergerists like us.   

She was according to me a fierce communal woman having anti-Christian feelings. Denying grants to English medium schools by her when she was in power  was a  method she used to punish the Diocesan schools.

Her open deslike for Catholics in Goa came when she insulted the head of Catholics by making an open statement  saying “by asking clemency for criminal Kumar, Bishop Rahul Gonsalves made a big show of his cheapness”.  This was when court sentenced Kumar for gallows.  Our Bishop then pleaded for mercy for Kumar by commuting the death sentence to life imprisonment. Incidentally, within a short period as a punishment for her, her government collapsed and she became a non-entity while our same Bishop remained as Bishop only.

She was called Iron lady by some people but why I don’t know.  She was feeble principled woman for this reason she  changed so many parties after she lost power.  Because of her father she got foothold in politics otherwise she was nowhere.
