2002 GOAN ELECTION. Finally the date for the election of Goa Legislative Assembly has been fixed as 30th of next month. As usual all the former �Chor ani Bamtte� MLAs will try to contest the coming election either on the same parties or independents or new parties. Whom the voters will elect and on what basis? In his masterpiece �If I Am Asassinated� written from the death cell by the former premier of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto wrote �My sons will not be my sons if they don�t shed the blood of those who dare to shed mine. Who are my sons? Shanawaz and Murtaza (both real sons of Bhutto) and all the sons of Pakistan are my sons�. Till his death Gen. Zia who was responsible for hanging Bhutto had to face problems from the sons of Pakistan till his death in a plane crash. Based on the statement of Bhutto let me say from Kuwait in a small room where I stay �My Goan voters will not be Goans voters if they don�t destroy in the coming election all the defectors and �Chor & Bamtte� MLAs who dare to destroy Goa by defecting from the elected party symbol to other parties that bribe them with huge money power and loot Goa. Who are the Goan voters? They are the real and genuine Goans who have great love for the good of Goa�. If today Goa is seized by the worst communal party BJP then the major culprit is Sardinha who allowed Parrikar and his BJP key to open the door for worst communal party to rule Goa. Goa had unique distinction to be a model of communal harmony and as such communal party like BJP should not have place in Goan politics. Sardinha should be punished severely in the coming election and who will punish him? If Curtorcar voters are really Curtorcares then they will show their wisdom. It is Curtorcares who were deceived and cheated by Sardinha. Congress party should be forced to deny ticket to Sardinha to contest the coming election on its ticket. Sardinha will go down in the history of Goa as worst than Judas, it is a shame to have such a MLA in any constituency. Likewise all the defectors should be denied tickets and if they still persist and succeed in getting tickets from the same parties then people power should be used and it should be used very forcefully. It is a turn now of �Demos� to use their �Kratia� in a right way. It is not enough just to talk saying Goa is going to dogs but to avoid it further going to dogs people must rise to the occasion and throw out all the defectors and Chors and Goondas. The constituents must not allow to foist on them the candidates not of their choice. The constituents must join together to stop the political parties to foist their choices on their heads. It is time now for the constituents to stop the party bosses in Panjim and Delhi to impose their choices on people against the wishes of the people. Constituents must stop acting like �ghantta boils� and fight for their rights to select right candidates. Every time our MLAs fool us. Once they get elected they take full liberty of the confidence voters given them and thus they make ill use of it. One of the reasons for them to take power in their hands is there is no alertness on the part of the voters. When they defect the voters take it lying down, neither their parties come out openly to condemn and raise public awarness. I remember when first time in Goa 5 UGP MLAs defected to MGP, Jack Sequeira organized public meetings in all the 5 constituencies to condemn them and make the local constituents aware of the wrong they did for their confidence. Valent Sequeira from Calangute constituency was one of the defectors, he had a small gotie type of beard. While delivering his public speech attended by huge crowd at Calangute soccer ground, Dr. Sequeira asked �where are the all the prominent people including the doctor who were telling me to give ticket to Valente Sequeira? Why they don�t now go after Valente Sequeira and shake him by his beard?�. Then he uttered these words to the utter astonishment of the crowd �Khuim assa re to bokddeachea khaddacho tumcho Valent Sequeira? Cholat re ani dhorat re tachea khaddak ani haddat re taka hangasor�. Fearing the worst, Valente Sequeira was hiding at Candolim in a secret location away from his house. But such a pressure is not coming now on our defectors because people and our voters are also become corrupt for accepting corruption. The so called social workers are also become dormant because they are also wanting to contest the elections because they feel only from the Legislative Assembly they can change the society. It is not true. By not contesting the election Mahatma Gandhi and Jayaprakash Narayan brought revolution in India. It is a turn now of real social workers and real lovers of Goa to do something to awaken the public conscience so that good and reliable people are elected. The Church must also come on fore. Because of Church silence for so long we Catholics in Goa were at receiving end. It is not enough for the Church to issue statement occasionally to show its disgust on the corrupt political scenario in Goa. Church must use its pulpit and other forum to raise its voice against all the barbarity going on in Goa leading to sinful life which Church must avoid. The purpose of Church is to guide the people in right path for the ultimate heavenly goal. But by being silence over the disgraceful acts of politicians and political parties Church is encouraging sinful life in Goa. If Church does not step in now then BJP will surely regain power and then they will destroy established Church and Church goers in Goa. If church does not openly come forward by preaching the gospel of political justice then Goa will turn into Soddom and Gomorrah and then posterity will hold the Church responsible for not doing Its duty when It was required to do. By using the forum of platform Martin Luther King in America challenged and destroyed the might of brute apartheid though he sacrificed his life for voicing his gospel of truth and justice. Can our priest do that and even if they are willing to do, will the Church authority at Altinho allow them? In the past even though silently and at times Church leaders and clergy played a very good role in protecting Goa and Goans from very many disasters. But now Church must come out openly and challenge the brute might of money and goonda power of the disgraceful candidates. If at this critical juncture Church remains silent then Church will be doing great injustice for the protection of Goa and Goans. As its is Goa is getting degoanised and losing its pristine greatness and genuiness. The Roma Udentichem is going to dogs because Ghantti Udentiche are capturing every piece of Goa. They are all out to destroy Goa and Goans and in this pursuit they are helped by Church goer defector politicians, corrupt politicians and those who practice Narvenkarism. Till recently Narverakism, Godinism, Sardinism, Parulenkarism and all ism were unknown to Goa. In order to destroy all these �ISM� we must come forward and destroy all the mentors of �ISM�. While Goa is burning due to the upcoming political events, what will be the role of expatriate Goans who are craving for the good governance in Goa? Adeus now but see you later for more on this topic.
