According to the news appearing from here and there, NRI’s may get the voting rights starting from the next general election. Possibly having its eyes on the next election in 2017, Congress Party from Goa has gone into campaign trail for the next Goa Legislative Assembly by appointing a committee of Gulf based Goans to represent Congress Party in the Gulf. Additionally one Kuwait based Goan committee is also formed.
Now the question is: On what basis these committee members were appointed? Were they appointed with the consent of the people residing there or they were appointed as per the whims and fancies of the Congress leadership in Goa? To represent Goans in the Gulf, what was their contribution for the cause of Goans there? The Goans in the Gulf must first ascertain the real credentials of these men to represent them. Congress has one dirty habit of hoisting its Chamchas on the people without consulting the people properly. As it is according to my information some committee members from Kuwait are appointed without their consent, one of them is already a BJP member.
Congress in India as a whole is gone into hibernation and to bring it back to its earlier level there is no Indira Gandhi’s charisma now. Sonia Gandhi is not Indira Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi with her immature son Rahul is not capable to revive the hopes of Congress victory in the next election. With Rahul Gandhi at the helm of affairs of Congress Party, Congress will never regain its earlier glory.
In Goa the Congress Party is a devided house and no Congress stalwart in Goa is a true Congressman, they are prostituted Congressmen. The chief of Congress in Goa Luizinho Faleiro himself was a defector earlier donning the colours of Goa Congress while the Opposition Leader Rane was a MGP product just like Khalap and Ravi Naik and Tomazinho Cardoso, Babush Monsurate and Digambar Kamat are equally guilty of wearing the robes of non-Congress parties. In view of this they are not sincere to the Congress Party, instead they are sincere only to their personal interests and to fulfill these interests they will jump into any other party that satisfies their wants of political power. That such a mighty Congress Party is acting like a Cockroach in front of Babush Monsurate while Mauwin Godinho is making a fool of Congress Party is a matter of shame.
If the newly Congress committee members in the Gulf and others also are really interested to see the revival of Congress Party in Goa then they must demand from Congress Party in Goa to keep the Old Guards and defeated candidates out of election fray because it is these persons who because of their corrupt practices destroyed Congress chances in the last election. The genuine Congress supporters are refusing to vote for them anymore and as such their chances for re-election is Zero though they may say anything. Last election BJP won in Goa with less money power but with more personal credibility of their candidates supported by the negative feelings against Congress candidates, example Calangute Constituency.
Since Luizin Faleiro took over the Congress reign from John Fernades things are not moving in right direction though in the beginning it looked he would create wonders but these wonders are yet to materialized. Unless Faleiro keeps out all the defeated and corrupt candidates and also the Old guards, Congress will never come up. Hence, it is the responsibility of all the Congress supporters to insist upon Congress Party to act sensible by listening to the voice of its supporters. Congress Party is not the monopoly of High and Low Commands only, even the ordinary Congress supporters deserve hearing otherwise Luizin Faleiro will make a fool of himself.
Meantime, I am requesting anyone to provide me the email addresses of Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Chief of Goa Desk in Delhi.
