During the last Graham Sabah Meet in our Panchati Compound, there was one person  who raised the issue of not  getting employment for any of our villagers mainly from the unemployed list. It is good  that this very relevant issue has been raised but concerned persons looked to be dormant on this topic.  I feel again in the coming Graham Sabah Meet this issue has to be raised especially for the cause of locals and it must be told in louder voice that for the land that we give to all the entrepreneurs to start their businesses they must provide the jobs for our locals.  In our Panchayat there must be such crooks that they will demand benefit for them to keep this issue at the back like what  some local leaders asked and got the benefits from the Sinquerim Taj¸  eg Free meals for them and their family members twice or thrice a month plus so many other benefits.  These benefits  for the Panchayati members are like Chori and why this chori’s benefit should go only to those few ? These benefits includes  Shares of Taj as well.

Come on Candoicars, speak out now and now only and that too very loudly. Don’t indicate your thirst for my blood for raising this issue.  I found that the biggest crooks, biggest Chors are our Sarpanches and other Panch Members. The benefit of our village wealth must go to our villagers only AND NOT TO THE FEW CHORS IN THE PANCHAYAT.  And where are the local youth gone?  They if are sleeping THEN IT IS TIME FOR them to get up and fight for the people in the locality. Time is running fast and our Village enemies are in the Panchayat otherwise our village will disappear from this planet. We have chosen the wrong people to guide and support us but those who are elected by us are turning into ROSTAD.   You do not ACCEPT what they are doling and  when I was a member of our local youth, I used to terrify them by using not the “goondagiri”  but by doing intellectual dadagiri. During my youth time there were such rascal Sarpanches and other Panches that with my capacity physical  and intellectual  I Converted them into bloody idiots. You can do much more than what I did for those during my time and because I did that, our village is still suriving. You just imagine those Sarpanchas who  were after getting elected to Leg.Assembly after completing the first term they miserably failed to win the second term when they enjoyed so many benefits as reigning members of Leg. Assembly.  Such idiots what benefit they  can get to our village? So it  is time for the youth of Candolim to make their presence felt. These two ex Sarpanchas after they lost the Assembly election they stopped coming to participate in the Graham Sabah Meeting as if they are big,all balls, they are nothing, they are originally coming from scrap family background, these stupid people till a few hours before getting elected to the local Leg.Assmbly were nobody but once they were elected they started acting like Arabian Kings.  Nobody in our locality likes them because they are suffering from pride complex.   People like me “tankam ami martat xenxxx.  They say they are have voluntarily Retired  from the politics.  All lies, they are so ambitious that even if it takes one more century they will wait for their chances to get elected again.  But their chances are gone for- ever.  They are not Joseph Sequeira the Calangute Sarpanch who was defeated and came back after 5 years to reoccupy the seat of Sarpanch once  again. Because Joseph Sequeira is the real son of his real father he managed to come back.

CONCLUDED.
