I don't disagree when people say that govt jobs were given to party cadres. But did this not happen during the congress rule? And do you think it will not happen if any other party(MGP, UGDP,...) comes to power? Don't you realize that things we complain about, happened even during the congress rule? Don't you remember that we complained about the same things during the congress rule? Don't you see the development that has happened in Goa? Should we elect the non-BJP parties and let Goa plunge into instability out of their perennial infighting? Should we let Goa have a new CM every 6 months and get branded as a politically instable state so that no industry finds us attractive enough to invest in? It is true that there are problems in the state as regards sanitation, power supply, lack of jobs, etc. But should we not give the BJP a chance to solve them? Do we expect them to get rid of problems in the four years of their rule? Think, would Goa have been branded as India's number one state if the Parrikar govt had been a bad choice?
Saffronisation: Parrikar did not put all of us in a gas chamber and blow us up. Did he not have Christians in his ministry? The problem is with the way we see things. If a Christian officer gets replaced by a Hindu for any reason, it gets branded as an attempt to 'saffronise' the state. Nobody worries about the actual reason why the officer had to be replaced. If somebody comes out with a VCD showing anything anti-Christian, even though it is history and irrelevant in the present context, it is saffronisation. When Hindu mythological floats were shown at the carnival, instead of counting it as a display of communal harmony, somebody wrote in a local newspaper calling it saffronisation. When are we going to mature? When we had an IIT engineer as our CM, we had too many expectations out of him. Unfortunately he could not live up to all of them in four years. However considering all the progress Goa made, I think he deserves another chance. At the time of elections, should we refrain from voting thinking that all are equaly bad? It is again a choice, we have to make and choose the best among the rest. I have justified why I consider the Parrikar-led govt to be my choice in my posting: http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/2005-April/026572.html and if anyone disagrees, I request them to justify their disagreement before stamping abuses.
