Referring to the latest results of the Election in Kanataka, I admire the BJP for winning the greater number of seats in this election over the Congress. Though it was a hard fact that BJP won more seats yet BJP must not feel that everywhere in India it will be a BJP wave. Karnataka is not India though Congress is not flawless. If today and yesterday BJP gained the foothold in some parts of India including in the otherwise citadels of Congress, it was not because of the plus points of BJP but because of the extremely minus points of Congress. And if this trend is not stopped by Congress and take the corrective steps to revive its prospects in the coming elections, I am sure Congress will be totally wiped out of India.
The major defect of the Congress is its weak leadership. Rahul Gandhi is not Nehru nor Indira, he cannot withstand the fury of Modi on the public platform. The Congressmen if they still feel that the name of Gandhi should be a prefix or suffix to the Congress leadership then they are sadly mistaken. Without the prefix and suffix of Gandhi, the Janata Party ruled India and BJP is still ruling since last so many years. The myth of Nehru and Gandhi names has lost its value, Congress ruled India for so many years after the independence but never eradicated poverty, caste system and communalism.
In Goa under the new leadership, Congress must now only take the stock of their situation and be ready to face the coming election even by preparing the likely election contestants. Otherwise posterity will hold Congress responsible for giving Goa on silver platter to Communal and corrupt forces to destroy Goa totally. As it is the current politicians especially from the ruling faction are on hunt to use maximum benefits for them to loot and rob Goa, they have no shame because they are shameless, they have no self respect nor dignity, some of them are so stupid that they will come to you only once before the election to beg for your vote or to purchase your vote because they have ample of money which they accumulated thru unfair means.
It is a long time now since Goa’s administration is run by ghosts without the regular Chief Minister. He is treated like Pele the Brazilian soccer wizard that is, during his hey days it was said that Pele has no replacement because Pele was the genius which could not be replaced by any other player. It looks Parricar is also reached to that stage of a genius but in reality Parricar is a fake genius.
