This refers to the news item in Herald dated 14.10.17 regarding the appointment of Goa Pradesh Congress Committee’s Chief where it is indicated that the new President will be nominated only after Rahul Gandhi becomes the president of the Party, that is, after the Diwali. My question here is: Why nomination and why not election? The Election process gives the true democratic colour and for this reason elections is preferred. The one who was nominated by Madame (Sonia Gandhi) has failed us miserably while the voters of Congress Party still gave very good victory to Congress by winning more Seats in the last Goa Assembly election. This victory of Congress Party was the gift of Goans to this party whose leaders though do not deserve it yet people of Goa gifted them this victory not because they love Congressmen but they hate communal BJPmen. The Congress Party under its previous Chief has not done wonders to influence the voters to vote for Congress but people voluntarily voted them by giving 17 Seats, only to unseat the BJP from the power. The secret agenda of BJP is to spread communal politics and not to develop Goa nor India. Can any sensible person trust Parricar and Modi who both betrayed the people's trust with a Judas Kiss? If our leaders are so bad then how the people will get prosperity and justice?
Going back to Congress Party, as usual, Congressmen are Congressmen, they will never change their feudality which they inherited from the Britishers. It was said, though the British left from India but still they kept their legacy in India intact in the form of Congress Party to imitate the British in all respects. The Congress Party under that Monster Indira Gandhi striped the Princes of their official titles and rights and in the end their robes and life styles were acquired unofficially thru tax payers money by the Congressmen. This pompous and luxurious showis displayed in every place where Congress Party is ruling, first starting from Central government immediately following the independence of India. Unfortunately, shamelessly the BJP has also acquired this habit from Congress Party when they said they will identify themselves with the commoner. They are liars and traitors.
The every tin pot leader in Congress Party is a selfish, interested in his own promotion discarding the interest of the Party and the voters and also of the public. After the independence Congress Party ruled over India for so many years but they never made any serious attempt to stop poverty but instead they stopped poor from becoming rich because by keeping the people below poverty line Congress found it easy to exploit them during the election time. Unfortunately, BJP is also doing the same thing or still worse. Can anyone trust any of the Congress Party leaders in Goa? Do they have any quality, character and integrity? Do these leaders and stalwarts in Congress Party in Goa have real love and dedication for the Congress Party? If they say yes then I will call them as traitors, otherwise see Papa Rane during the last by-election of Baba Rane how he sided with his son turning his back to the Congress Party where he belonged. Is it not a betrayal and can a good person rely and trust on such traitors to give upright leadership? Worst part of this episode is this that none of the other Congressmen opposed this and protested over this betrayal of Sr. Rane because they are all sailing in the same boat.
Meantime can anyone rely on the leadership of Ravi Naik, Sr. and Jr. Ranes, Luizinho Faleiro who all wanted only the top “Kodel” in the Assembly because of which they slept at home longer period allowing BJP to sprint to the Governor presenting its claim to form the government. Was it intentional or unintentional delay? One source tells me that the leadership of Congress Party in Goa and the monitor of Goa Desk of Congress Party in Delhi were paid handsomely by the Opposition to create this game, which means is it all a “match fixing game?”
It is a pity that Congress is still not doing anything worthwhile to put things into order and capitalize on the flaws of BJP. Instead, some Congressmen like traitors are shamelessly preparing the ground to join BJP instead of reviving its chances to capture power. This Congress party in Goa has betrayed its voters.
