Babush is not Goa and Goa is not Babush and hence the victory of his panel in Panjim Municipality election could not be taken as the barometer for gauging the mood of Goan voters for the forthcoming Assembly election. However, this victory was a direct slap on BJP’s misrule of Goa and inefficiency of Congress. It is a direct humiliation for Parricar who personally came from Delhi to canvass votes for his BJP contestants. This indicates that BJP wave and Parricar charisma is waning because people in Goa have realized that BJP and Parricar are liars and cannot be trusted to fulfill any of their promises.
Now, in the forthcoming Assembly election it is my warning to Congress Party in particular and BJP and other parties in general not to hoist on us, the voters the candidates without our consent. It is become customary for these political parties to hoist on us any “Ladru-Pedru” with questionable character. This time we will oppose such questionable characters.
We need a clean candidate from every Party and we want to analyse his source of income – how he acquired his asset and other details including his activities in the past. Most of the candidates imposed on us by Congress Party were known to acquire enormous amount of wealth thru unfair means when they were in Panchayat members where the biggest loot is happening. Most of the Panchayat members in the coastal areas are known to acquire wealth thru illicit means, by threatening the locals, by extorting bribe for issuing illegal licences for constructing Hotels and houses. The most glaring example of these illicit activities is in my locality. Otherwise how a man coming from economically “Ladru-Pedru” family background could come in possession of a fleet of most expensive cars and chain of hotels? And otherwise how a semi Goan being partially a Madrasi erect Bungalows spending lakhs of rupees? What is his source of income to create such an asset?
