TOMORROW IS THE PANCHAYAT ELECTION. Hope everything will go well though people are disgusted with the Election Commission for holding this election in the rainy season and not taking any corrective steps to stop the dual voting by the ROSTAD Bharatis who descended on Goa a few years back thru the way illegally acquired by the Bharat Serkar. They are become Dadas in Goa and as told to me by somebody, these outside Dadas are controlling the Election commission personnel. Besides, the changes – delimitations – done with the active participation of the current politicians from the Panchayat and Legislative Assembly indicates that current government is fully aware of this dirty trick. In view of this, I feel this election is going to be a BIG TAMASHAH.
Besides there are other reasons that make this election a big tamasha. In this election, many of the MLA’s are directly getting involved to gain the supremacy of our villages and they are spending lakhs of rupees from their own pockets because actually this money does not belong to them but this money they acquired from the illicit business they do including the bribery. Hence, they don’t feel the pinch to use this money for such extravaganza. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT ASHAMED TO OPENLY DISTRIBUTE THIS MONEY TO THE VOTERS THRU THEIR CONCUBINES SOME OF WHOM ARE THE MEMBERS OF PANCHAYAT. Illicit Sex also plays a major part in this illicit business
In our locality, the rate of one Vote according to my investigation, is Rs. 4000/- while in Calangute it reached to Rs. 5000/- In Candolim, the hardened political criminals are pleading only for another term of 5 years, after that they want to retire. Balls, they will never retire, they have already tasted the easy money during the preceding years when they extorted heavy bribes from the builders and others to approve their Licenses. This "Khazur" they will never get anywhere in their life. Lion once tasted the blood will never leave the same.
It is my request to the voters in our locality and elsewhere too, never succumb to the bribe these rogues are offering you but on the contrary you accept the bribe but vote for the candidate of your choice. Don’t be the slaves of this bribe, maintain your own dignity and vote according to your conscience. And tomorrow with your precious votes kick all the rascals who as members of the Panchayat act like rogues and as feudal lords who are nothing but purely hoi-polloi.
