Commit a mistake first and then issue an apology, is the culture of Congress Party. Indira Gandhi introduced the Emergency Rule in India in 1975 and when its effects became worst, Congress Party apologized. Casinos in Goan waters were introduced by the Congress Party rule in Goa and when its results became negative on Goa, Congress Party under Luizinho Faleiro issued an apology and pleaded with Goans to forgive Congress Party and re-elect it.
One thing is certain, according to my observation, besides Congress no other political party in Goa or individual show any sign of shaking BJP in Goa. Dethroning BJP from power in Goa is an imperative necessity otherwise BJP can even be like Nazi Party in Germany turning Parricar/Parsenkar into a Hitler and other hardcore fanatics into Dr. Goebbels, Goerings and Wilhemstrasses. Nazism is coming to Goa speedily because cunning BJP leadership in Goa is hell-bent to do this and overwhelming majority of Goans are helping BJP in this direction.
To challenge the brute might of BJP, Congress Party in Goa must start now only to fortify its base by promoting new faces to contest the coming election. In the recently concluded Civic Poll, in Fatorda, Vijay Sardesai has already shown the way how to win the Poll by fielding the new and young faces. Congress in Goa is still not showing any sign of discarding the old faces and bypassing the defeated candidates who are become a big liability on Congress Party because these defeated Congressmen are known to acquire enormous assets thru illicit means and corruption and yet Congress leadership in Goa is keeping its silence thus becoming a partner in the crime.
The Congress Party’s grave was dug by all the defeated candidates in the last election. Since this is the case, how people will re-elect them? People have lost their faith in them to do anything good for Goa. They are interested in amassing wealth for them only. It is their lobby that dethroned former Congress president John Fernandes from his chair. Otherwise, John Fernandes was doing his job just appropriately.
John Fernandes is the need of the hour for the revival of Congress hopes in the forthcoming election. Will any supporter of Congress vouch for my statements?
