Officially only two years are remaining for the nextelection for the Goa Legislative Assembly. Though it is schedule for 2017 yet it may come earlier too. It is time now for all of us the genuine Goans who are hurt by the BJP government thru its anti-Goan policies, to do the inventory of BJP government, its ministers and MLA’s regarding their falsehood, cheating and lying the people of Goa and also of taking up projects which were not on their last election manifesto. When democracy started in ancient Greece, it was a direct democracy where the ruler and the people directly interacted and not thru their representatives as it is done now where the grievances and issues of the public are brought to the notice of the Ministers or Rulers thru the representatives of the public.
Since the next election is approaching fast, the people especially the Goans who feel that their elected representatives especially from the Treasury benches have failed in fulfilling their given promises to the public and how they embarked on the projects and issues which are against the interest of the Goans, must grill their candidates strongly till the truth and nothing but the truth comes out of their mouth. Every candidate contesting the election will come now to your constituency, to your village and to your door; don’t allow him or her to speak and give a cunning lecture during the electioneering. Ask the candidates especially from the Treasury Benches and the Ministers how they failed the people of Goa in not fulfilling their promises given to them during the last election. Ask them who authorized them to go ahead with the Tiracol project by cheating and lying the locals there. Tell Parsenkar that Tiracol is not his father’s property to do what he wants. Tell him we will vote him out and his party as well for supporting the Leading Hotels and its Golf course.
Ask Parricar how he failed in removing Casinos from the Mandovi River when he himself has promised to do so and has so vociferously campaigned against Casinos when he was in the Opposition. Ask him how he fooled the Goans first by decreasing the petrol price and later on increasing it to the highest level? Diocesan Schools are not given proper justice by the BJP government, ask BJP members why they are doing this and what right they have to act thus. They have no right to deny facilities to Diocesan Schools on silly grounds. Ask Parsencar why his government in Goa is discriminating against Chrsitians when BJP was brought to power with the tremendous support of Christians in Goa. Ask Parricar who killed Mathanay Saldanha and why the post mortem of his body was not done. Ask them why they are playing dirty game with regard to Regional Plan.
Likewise, we may have many issues that BJP government has faulted. It is time now for all of us to raise these issues when the BJP candidates come to our doors for campaigning. Every BJP member is accountable for the mischief his party and government committed against the interest of Goans. Now is the only time for us to conduct the Nuremburg type of trial of every BJP member, every BJP MLA and every BJP minister for the sins BJP government committed on Goans.
