Finally the Coconut has been axed from the family of Trees by the arrogant BJP government of Parsenkar by citing that unnecessarily Coconut Trees will not be felled. I don’t believe in any assurance from BJP government whose forte lies in taking “U” turn in every assurance. This BJP government is the government of Liars. There is no more trust left in me of BJP government. To facilitate the Builders lobby government will allow the felling of Coconut Trees rampantly. There is saying in Konkani, "Dev poddla boballar, hoch vogot boro Igroj nagoupak". This is what the policy of BJP in Goa. Since this is the only opportunity they get to loot Goa in the name of development before the election, they are making maximum use of this opportunity.
Every BJP MLA should be held responsible for supporting this anti-Coconut legislation of BJP government in Goa including of my MLA who was elected by us to act upright and not to support any legislation of the government. BJP may have given him the ticket to contest the election but votes we have given him to act the way we want and not to support the wrong decisions of the government. By blindly supporting the BJP government, the BJP MLA's are doing injustice to the upright voters who are waiting for all these BJP MLA's to teach them a very good lesson in the next election. 2017 will never be 2012 which was dominated by the Congress corruption.
During the electioneering process for the next election, every lover of Goa and Coconut Tree must raise this issue with their BJP candidates and also with others who toed the line of the BJP government in supporting this legislation. The next election should be treated as the battle of Waterloo for BJP for annexing the Coconut Tree against the wishes of the overwhelming majority of Goans. The BJP MLA’s used their arrogant rights in the Assembly to act arrogant. In the same manner we the voters reserve our rights to sensibly vote out these MLA’s from the Legislative Assembly of Goa. More than half the number of BJP MLA's will not see the Assembly Hall again because of the sins they committed against the people of Goa.
