In my village there is a small Vaddo called Araddy, its residents were small in number but in the recent past because of migrants its population is increased. The new settlements where migrants are settled is also called GHANTTIANCHI Araddy by the locals. This Araddy officially called as New Araddy where the settlements and the houses built by the migrants are without planning and in many cases without proper licenses from the official authorities. In case of any fire breaks out there then everything will go into flames. The whole area was built haphazardly and hazardously. According to the locals, the local licensing authority is responsible for this unplanned and unauthorised settlement zone of migrants. It was the local Panchayat and MLA of that time responsible for this mess which they made to create a vote bank for them.
Some of the local leaders who were ruling the village affairs including the current chief are guilty of permitting to construct the Araddy settlement illegally and yet again they are ruling the village now. They are not proper administrators to rule the village, this is the quality of the people who are ruling in our villages. If such “Ghorvam Rakhne” rule our villages then there will be nothing good in our villages. Especially, when non Goans and non-locals are given an opportunity to rule our localitis then these non-locals will do nothing good for the locals and locality. The non-locals will never be faithful to our localties, they will be interested in themselves only to build their own Bunglows, hotels and Restaurants etc. This is very bad and very sad. I cannot understand how they allowed the migrants to construct their houses without proper plans and documents? In fact, the whole settlement at New Araddy looks illegal and such illegal structures are allowed to construct normally by taking heavy bribe by the loal rulers. So those responsible to allow these illegal houses are to be blamed. Can anyone trust such people to rule our village and constituency? We must reject them now only before they approach us for our votes again. Moreover by infiltrating in our Communidades they are harassing the locals also. Very shortly they will finish the Communidades too.
By allowing illegal constructions many of our Sarpanchas and Panchas and also MLLA’s built their own financial empires. Money from where they got? Surely from the heavy bribe they got from all those ghanttis and migrants. How suddenly they became lakhpotis when their base and ancestry were so poor? For such rogues politics of corruption is good and thru this you come to know how disgraceful family background they have. On top of it they are moving in society shamelessly like barberians after committing barbarity of bribery and corruption.
Candoicars must now only start a campaign to demand from the current local leaders and rulers who and how they allowed the new illegally constructed colony in Araddy and who was responsible for this. Many of the eligible non-Goan voters from new Araddy are dual voters, that means they are voting in Goa as well as also in the regions of their origin or in their birth places in India from where they are come and settled in Goa. In Goa and in New Araddy many of the migrants as told to me are selling their votes and because of this the rascal candidates prefer them because these rascal candidates can afford to give them money which they accumulate thru loot and bribe. For this reason, those candidates and parties that are in opposition must start a campaign thru proper channel to bring this topic to the notice of the Election Commission or to any other relevant authority to stop this dual voting system.
Meantime, the leadership of Candolim is in the hands of rogues who are fit only to dictate the terms to the locals and not to Ghanttis and Migrants. Candoikarani atam tori zaiat zage.
Candolim is the land of world renowned revolutionaries like Abe Faria and Pintos and recently of Pe. Chico Monteiro who fought singlehandedly against the government of India. Candolim is not a land of migrants and ghanttis who are acting like Maharajas and are ruling our land. We must stop these ghanttis from ruling in our land as early as possible. One such Ghantti is harassing the locals to take his personal revenge. This bloody bastard leader is using threathening language against his opponents as if Candolim is his father’s property when In fact he does not know who his real father is.
