GOA ELECTION RESULTS.

Finally the election on May 30th was held and people elected those whom they 
wanted to elect.  It is their birth right to perform their democratic duty 
and they did it however much many of us may disagree with their choice.  
Those who think the voting process should be left into the hands of the 
voters only and nobody should instruct or guide them whom to vote and whom 
not to vote are mistaken.  Those who are politically and morally matured got 
duty to guide the voters in the right direction and this was exactly been 
done by the politically matured people though their success might not have 
been perfect.  Many people asked me thus �what was the use of your barking 
from Kuwait continuously against defectors and other rogues?�. It was not me 
alone, innumerable people took part in campaigning for the upright people 
and if it was not for their relentless efforts in guiding and enlightening 
the voters even from distant places the achieved results would not have been 
possible.  This result was realized only after barking and harping for days 
and days prior to the election day.  Never I saw expatriate and Goa based 
Goans so forcefully taking part in campaigning for the right candidates. 
>From this trend I can rightly say that expatriate Goans are now awakened.  I 
am sure they can now create a mighty force of theirs towards guiding and 
protecting Goan affairs back at home.Thru this unity and force of 
expatriates Goans we can now easily embark on more important aspects of Goan 
life.  It is time now for expatriate Goans to think further in the right 
direction for the good of Goa and Goans. With this momentum gained during 
the last election expatriate Goans should further unify to challenge the 
brute might of rogue politicians in Goa.  I am sure expatriate Goans are 
capable of doing this.  In the past Kuwait Goans have shown the way during 
the Konkani Language and Statehood agitation.  Now the circle of Goa lover 
expatriate Goans is tremendously increased and as such we should captalise 
on this expansion.

The rise of BJP was the due to the fall of MGP which never gave us � people 
like me who are Goa and Konkani lover � peaceful time.  MGP was a curse on 
Goan soil.  This party of rascals from nowhere brought Marathi and tried to 
impose on Goans.  These rogues who were protagonists of Marathi were neither 
conversant with Marathi.  These MGP rogues from nowhere tried to uproot Goa 
and dump it into Maharastra eventhough they themselves whould not have been 
happy and welcomed with open arms by the Maharastrians. The defeat of 
Shashikala Kakodkar the daughter of Goa�s traitor Dayananda Bandodkar was 
fabulously applauded by many in Kuwait so also of Ramakant Khalap.  It is 
these MGP stalwarts that gave push to BJP in Goa thru back door and now they 
are suffering.  Now they have two members in the Assembly but gradually they 
too will evaporate like ether. In order to fight with MGP we the genuine Goa 
lover Goans had to make lot of sacrificies and by doing such sacrifices we 
managed to conquer over their policies.  Now MGP is finished but BJP is 
come.  Beetween the two, BJP will turn out to be greater monster and for 
this reason we have to be very cautious.  The Assembly term of the newly 
elected MLAs will not last for 5 years, their MLAship will be for a short 
duration like a honey moon. For this reason those who are elected should not 
think of turning themselves into short term Emperors. They should not act 
like Maharajas and Hitlers.  We have seen how so many having above 
attributes were dumped into the Sea by the clever voters. �Korta tea Mapan 
bhogta ani bhogta te atam kayat patoeo�.  Many of those who are defeated 
were acting like �dadas� against the people.  They were not voted earlier by 
the people to allow them to act like dadas.  By acting like dadas they 
infuriarated the voters who finally dumped them into �khachra Dobo�.  
�Bhogat atam�.

Those non-BJP MLAs joined the Ministry should not surrender to BJP policies 
wholesome as George Fernandes doing in Delhi.  Geoge Fernandes has got no 
principle, no morality and no discipline.  He is totally absorbed by BJP. He 
lost his former greatness and charm.  Mickey Pacheco and Babush should never 
allow Parrikar and his BJP to communalise Goa as MGP did once.  It was 
surprising how these non-BJP members betrayed the trust of the voters and 
joined BJP.  Did their voters gave them liberty to join BJP at the time of 
voting them or by taking into confidence only a few of their chamcha 
supporters they joined BJP?  The voters should publicly question this.  As 
for me those who joined BJP after the election are traitors. They are 
partners in the crime committed by BJP in Gujarat. Babush Monsurate made 
himself another Zuwarkar by following the foot-steps of his predecessor. One 
Zuwarkar gone and in its place another defector Zuwarkar came. Taleigao 
voters should take note of this especially the educated youth who created 
the latest revolution in Goa against many of the defectors.  Those non-BJP 
MLAs who joined BJP Government are partners in the crime committed by BJP 
supprted Government in killing Staines and other Christians.  Babush, Mickey 
and even Francis Desouza and and probably both the MGP MLAs can easily 
control 17 MLAs of BJP by forcing BJP to act totally different from Delhi 
and Gujarat.  Mathanay Saldanha has shown his real colours by sticking to 
his independence.  By being outside he can easily gain maximum benefit of 
course with the help of his other two colleagues.

I must now impress upon Mickey Pacheco not to be vindictive in his dealings 
as lot of stories are circulated in Kuwait.  Mickey and other giant killers 
are elected not to show revenge but to do what their predecessors have 
failed to do.  This is not the time for revenge but to do something good for 
Goa and Goans.  Babush must also come out spotless against the campaign 
carried out over his supposed ill doings in Miramar Sex Scandal. Both these 
politicians must know that they are given mandate by the voters to do good 
not only for their constituencies but also for the entire Goa and not to 
take revenge for their selfish ends.  I understand both are moneyed people.  
By being so will they refrain from accepting bribes directly and indirectly 
from the people for doing their jobs?  Or will they both be bribe prones?  
They will show their real character now and time alone will prove their 
worth.

The party that many of us supported Goa Suraj has failed no doubt but its 
presence on Goan election arena has created lot of opposition for many of 
the gigantic figures and precisely because Goa Suraj party was a force to 
reckon with, its opponents in Calangute Constituency and elsewhere created 
false stories of the withdrawal of Goa Suraj Party candidates.  It is Goa 
Suraj Party�s presence in Goa during the recently held election gave scare 
to many to be more upright. It is the presence of Goa Suraj Party in Goa 
that helped the voters to make right choice.  Never mind Goa Suraj Party 
lost but thru loss they created solid impact on the recently concluded 
election in Goa.  Best of luck for all the elected MLAs and my prayers for 
them to take good care of Goa and Goans.

A. VERONICA FERNANDES,
Kuwait.
