As 30th May draws nearer, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar is desperately trying all stunts to try and woo voters to salvage the sinking BJP ship. In the Panjim Constituency, Parrikar who is fighting a battle for his survival,is offering all sorts of carrots to buy the minorities.
It would be difficult for Mr Parrikar to fool the people when BJP's track record is public knowledge. No Goan would want the Gujarat carnage to happen in this State of ours and this means sending the BJP to the wilderness. Goa will vote for a Secular party that can provide stability by not repeating the mistakes of the past.The urgent task is to undo the damage done to Goa by the 17 month rule of the communal and casteist BJP. Recently, the Chief Minister had assured us that there would be no water shortage this year. People have to endure days of dry taps and the power failures continue contradicting the Government claims the situation has improved. The 17-month BJP rule has been one of the most corrupt regimes. Mr Parrikar himself admits that a lot of money was accepted for party funds. Corruption is corruption whether the proceeds go to personal pockets or party coffers. The malaise of defections has gripped every political party. The BJP itself has fielded a lot of defectors. The Chief Minister himself grabbed power through the back door by engineering defections so he has no moral authority to lecture others on the evils of defections. The Chief Minister has spoken so much on Women's empowerment but it is not surprising that the BJP has fielded only one lady candidate and that too in Benaulim a constituency where the lotus could never bloom. The people have been called upon to vote on May 30th because an autocratic and unpredictable Manohar Parrikar decided to prematurely dissolve the assembly to save his chair. For this single rash and negligent act of the Chief Minister,the state exchequer has to bear the brunt.But the voters will now have an opportunity to teach Mr Parrikar and his communal BJP party the lesson of their lifetime.
