If any non-Goan comes to me for my vote in the coming Panchayat election, with due respect to him, I will tell him, “why should I vote for you? Are you a genuine Goan? No. Hence, you are not capable to protect the interest of genuine Goans”. These non-Goans do not know the proper language of Goa, history, tradition, culture, folklore and many of the attributes of Goans and yet they want to be the rulers of Goa to enact the laws suitable for them. They claim to be Goans but for us they are not true Goans and being so they will never be faithful to Goa and Goan causes. These adopted Goans apply their allegiance to the places from where their ancestry belonged. Goa cannot be their ancestral home place though because of their livelihood in Goa they may like to be called Goans but actually many of them got anti-Goan and un-Goan feelings. In view of this, I will not vote for such candidates. Those who feel I am right, please follow me and do not vote for non-Goans. This is the time now for us the genuine Goans to be hard core Goans otherwise we will easily lose what is remaining of Goa.
In my Ward I noticed contesting candidates are not the residents of my Ward and yet shamelessly they are contesting from my Ward because they are for some genuine reasons unable to contest in their Wards. But still they don’t want to retire. It is always better to elect a candidate from your own Vaddo who will be readily accessible to you for any of your needs while outsider will be far and difficult to access. Most of the outside candidates are selfish and rogues and because of their lust for robbery they want to contest and rob the village by doing corruption. These are the fathers of robbery in the village. Those who want these fathers of robbery to rob the village and people, they can elect them but as an upright man and a genuine Christian I will never vote for such people. If anyone agrees with me then follow me and VOTE NOT AN OUTSIDER AND FATHER OF ROBBERY.
