Modi's power diminished as his corrupt party could not fiddle EVM's in 2024 as they did in 2019 elections. The ECI chiefs who left, do you really think they just disappeared out of their own free will? Or were they told to leave? Viriato, myself and the Engico class of 91 have a Facebook page. It is full of BJP and RSS guys, hence I have left as I can't stand these fundamentalists - they were not like that in 1991. Viriato stood and contested but as Congress. He did contest and so did Rahul to try save the country from this almighty corruption and other scams that the ruling party lives on. India was a nuclear power before the BJP came to power and the space programs too were initiated decades ago, they just did not happened because of the BJP. They would had happened if Congress would had been in power in 2019. It is rather pathetic of people to vote for a party that favours the rich, gives them a free reign to loot in the name of progress. Then share the spoils with the ruling party, where electoral bonds are a way of blackmailing small businesses into financing the party, as well as cancelling investigations to those in the opposition who want to join in the club. It is a bit of a copy-paste of the Putin-Oligarch setup that his mate from the north has cemented to stay on in power till he is 6' under. The web of deceit, corruption, manipulation, etc. by the BJP is beyond anyone's imagination. Hence they had lost a lot of votes this time because the opposition was awake and because the SC under the able Dr Justice Chandrachud was watching too and put right what was wrong. Possibly too because the youth make up about 25% of the population and many are unemployed - which is unacceptable as India has a high growth rate. Who benefits then? Sadly we have shameful politicians like Chandrababu Naidu who will support an enemy, having left the opposition alliance. The same man who came to London for a meeting when CM and his large entourage flew in a lady employee whose only job was to cut an apple into slices and serve him at the meeting. This is the sheer level of abuse of power who might prefer the BJP way of life than the disciplined Congress way. Viriato has always been a man with his head on his shoulder and he does not tolerate nonsense. He won't defect like these other Congress clowns did at MLA level. Hope the opposition puts this minority government into its tracks on policies for the next term. Elections might be won, but the party is over for the BJP in the next five years.

He resigned in August 2020. thewire.in ________________________________ From: 'Pedro Mascarenhas' via Goa-Research-Net <[email protected]> Sent: 06 June 2024 10:19 To: Goa-Research-Net <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [GRN] Once again democracy prevailed in India. Are you saying that with the manipulation of EVMs, Modi -NDA- saw his power diminish? And Rahul and Viriato gain the MP seats? Do you, living abroad, know more than Rahul Gandhi and Parliament-elect Captain Viriato Fernandes (Goa)? So why didn't they protest? I understand the desperation of some abroad. They do not present any evidence of cheating. Your class mate Viriato fully believes in Indian democracy, which is why he ran for MP and served in the Indian armed forces with great pride. India: Fifth largest economy in the world, in addition to being a space and nuclear power.

Even that is probably rigged with fiddling of EVM's. After the newly elected members take their place, then the system automatically switches from democracy to full autocracy, where the big man tells everyone what to do, with zero accountability given. One can only guess how much money and power changed hands to get Chandrababu to support Modi, a person he completely hates. Good thing that a Dempo operative did not win against my ex-Engico class mate in South Goa, else it would had been another Adani type rise for the Goan business. The world needs India for business but people do laugh behind their back, at the nonsense going on there - the sheer corruption at beyond astronomical levels, the airports springing up everywhere, the temples, the statues, etc. It is all about impressing, a game where the poor get poorer and the planets reached increase by the day. Complete disparity on so much, that it is impossible to list. ________________________________ From: 'Pedro Mascarenhas' via Goa-Research-Net <[email protected]> Sent: 05 June 2024 10:30 To: Goa-Research-Net <[email protected]> Subject: [GRN] Once again democracy prevailed in India. Once again democracy prevailed in India. Around 642 million people, more than 10% of the world's population, were able to vote after the polls opened in mid-April, with an average turnout of around 66% across the seven phases. Lok Sabha election India set a world record. The entire counting process was described as "absolutely robust," and all issues raised by multi-party delegations were addressed. Over 68,000 monitoring teams and 1.5 crore polling and security personnel were involved and over 90% of 495 complaints of Model Code of Conduct violations disposed during elections. Some 642 million people cast their vote in the world’s largest election, as swathes of the country was blanketed in searing heat, making people sick and killing dozens. India, the country of 1.4 billion people has become the world’s fastest-growing major economy and a modern global power, making strides in technology and space. Yet, despite these successes, poverty and youth unemployment persist – particularly in rural areas – and the wealth gap has widened. Goa: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shripad Naik won the North Goa Lok Sabha seat for the sixth consecutive term on Tuesday, while Congress-led Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) candidate Viriato Fernandes succeeded in retaining the party’s South Goa parliamentary seat. Many watchdogs have categorised India as a "hybrid regime" that is neither a full democracy nor a full autocracy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Goa-Research-Net" group.
