TIATR ACADEMY OF GOA (TAG).

TIATR ACADEMY OF GOA (TAG) is the prestigious organization that serves the cause of Tiatros.  When Digambar Kamat was the Chief Minister of Goa about a decade back he helped its formation allocating it budgetary funds, in fact Kamat is the great lover of Tiatros and during his CMinistership Tiartros business flourished well. To run TAG affairs, an special committee is constituted headed by its President who along with other members are nominated by the Government, they are all selected from the Tiatrists fraternity. 

Now, according to my information since last over two years, its functioning is  become a matter of concern for every Tiatrist and also the lover and supporter of this great art of Tiatro which incidentally took its birth not in Goa but in Bombay almost 150 years back when  Lucazinho Ribeiro from Assagao Bardez, an anchestral village known for giving  birth to some of the greatest Goans in their respective fields namely Monsg. Dalgado in Literature and Neville D’Souza the greatest soccer wizard India has ever produced and who was the first Indian to score a hat-trick for India in the Olympics. It is over 2 years now that there is no new committee formed thru the nomination by the Government since then instead of  functioning with normal speed it is moving lame footed thus putting a halt to its vibrant activities.  Since it is a Government funded body, for reasons best known to itself, the Government  is not seen to do anything better for its promotion and moreover Government is seen to be neglecting its interest in it. There is no move seen from the Government to appoint the new committee since such a long period, the is talk going on that Government is interested in seeing its slow and silent death Government does not like to absorb the criticism of the Tiatrists  from the Stage. If it is so, then what is the role of so many Tiatro lover MLA’s from both the sides?  Interested persons should raise this issue with the concerned people.

 

Tiatro is not only an entertainment but it is an industry manned  by 90% of the professional Tiatrists who are totally dependent on it for sustaining them and their familes.  In the absence of its officially constituted committee, its voice is become dead having no person to place its grievances In front of the authorities concerned. 

The need of the hour is to constitute the new committee immediately under the new President and not the one who is doing the reliever’s job from some other department where he is officially placed. It is a bad administration for functioning without a committee with its head for such a long period. In view of this, a delegation of a few prominent Tiatrists must go as a delegation and meet the concerned Minister and put their grievances in front of him.  Separately they can also meet the Director of Art and Culture.

PROBE ALL THE MOINISTERS FOR THEIR ILLICIT MONEY.

 

According to the one news item appeared in the front page of Times of India dated today, Lokayukta P.K. Misra has directed investigation on complaint filed against Chandrakant Kavlekar the State Deputy Chief Ministter of Goa who was one of the 10 defectors from Congress to the BJP, regarding alleged disproportionate assets, money laundering and matka.

 

Further to this news I must also request from the Lokayukta and persons who are involved in cleansing the system of illicit acquisition of wealth  disproportionate to their income, our other  politicians and Ministers should also be probed.  Some of our Ministers and MLA’s from their exorbitant expenses they do on their luxurious ways of living, one can easily draw his conclusion that his involvement in acquiring money thru unfair means.  This means he sets a bad example for others to follow him since he creates a bad figure of himself as a role model.  Because of such bad role models our Goa is suffering since there is no good person among the public figures to act upright to depict as a good disciplined person.  In the absence of such good persons in public life, our youngsters follow in the foot-steps of our corrupt leaders and public figures finally destroying the best part of our society.

 

It is very disturbing to know that one top politician from Bardez who till a few years back was nobody  not only in Goa but not even in his own village, accidentally got a political push thru which he got elected and became not only an MLA but even one of the Cabinet members and now he is acting like a Lord and having about 10 Conncubines, most of them he kept  under his control by using his money, physical and political power. The money he spends after them is very lavish whcih looks beyond his official income.  Hence, such persons should be probed. 

 

If possible, all the Ministers and MLA’s and Panchayats should be probed for their disproportionate  assets.  Not a single top politician who is holding the Cabinet rank should be left unprobed because they have accumulated huge amount of illicit money thru bribe and thru such dirty means. When an MLA gets an opportunity to get a portfolio for him he sees to it that he gets the lucrative portfolio not to serve the people’s needs but to rob the people because  certain portfolios fetches you automatically the  good amount of money thru bribe receipts.   And all those portflio holders like bloody Rostad  are  harassing the people.  Hence, it is of imperative need to conduct the probe on their finance to prove how much he gets black money and white money

GRILLING OF ELECTION CONTENDERS.

Corona Virus  or no, the political life must go on and politicians are busy devising their plans to contest and win the next Assembly Election. Politicians are not much bothered whether they get the Party tickets or not, they are bothered only to contest even as independents especially those whose roots are firm in their constituencies where once elected their bargaining power increases in their favour.  See by winning only  three Seats Vijay Sardesai’s  GFP gained importance even though all its  three members in reality got elected not because of the name of GFP but because of their personal charisma as individuals. 

            I noticed some factors common almost in all the re-contestants who currently being the members of the ruling faction, they all committed the similar sins of  using their political power only to promote them and their close family members thus accumulating illicit wealth which is enough even for their next generations. Hence, they deserve to be questioned when they come to you for begging for your votes, of course shamelessly after 5 years, in between without knowing  you are alive or dead.  Your existence they know only once in 5 years. 

            First question: Why should we vote for you when you have not done anything for me, for my children, for my Vaddo, for my village, for my constituency and  for my Goa? You have helped only your own relatives to get them Government jobs and business facilities. 

           Second: For how many  people you helped in getting their documents approved  for  government facilities without taking bribe and can you name them? 

             Third: Did you demand illicit sex from any woman in exchange of any official favour    for her?  In this way how many families you destroyed?  Are you worthy of our votes?
