BY � ELECTIONS IN GOA.
So the by-elections in Goa are announced and the candidates have been filing their nomination papers. Once again all the old faces are seen queuing for contesting the elections to get themselves re-elected and once they are re-elected, what will be their decision? That there are possibilities for them to get re-elected is certain because their individual charisma and pull towards their voters are tremendous. The parties that they represent will not be of much significance. Once these candidates get re-elected, it is my firm belief that they will defect to any other party that will give them their rewards. All the candidates who betrayed communal and Salazarist type Parrikar by withdrawing their support to him will definitely defect once again from the parties that they are representing now in the by-elections. Defection is become their forte and only thru this forte they will be able to make money. These defectors have no principles. Their only principle is money and grab more and more money by any means. That they have overthrown the Parrikar Governemtn in Goa was a blessing in disguise but that does not mean that these defectors from Parrikar Ministry are innocent. They are crooks to the core and because they are crooks they revolted against Parrikar not for any principle but only for their own personal gains. They don�t care for the people, they don�t care for the good of Goa, they care only for themselves. Some of them said that they have defected from Parrikar because Parrikar was communal. Fine. But did�nt they know that BJP means communalism? How can BJP be secular and inspite of this that they joined Parrikar itself is a proof that the defectors who joined Parrikar by defecting from their parent parties were only for selfish motives. The excuse of VCD and withdrawing of Good Friday Holiday was a fake excuse. The Cristao who supported Parrikar Ministry by defecting from their parent parties are worst than criminals. The Cristao voters and all the secular voters as well must teach them a very good lesson. These voters must in unison ask all the candidates especially those who withdrew their support to Parrikar whether they will remain with the parties from whom they get elected or will they join any other party that they gives benefits for them? Babush, Mickey, Digambar and others must be made to give an undertaking if possible by using some legal methods that they will not join BJP in formimg the next Ministry nor they will join any other party but will remain in the same parties that got them elected.
People must bring pressure on UGDP where it is become a fashion to get the candidates elected and after that leave them alone on their own to flirt with any party that gives them good dividends. If possible, people must boycott UGDP which is become a big joke and moreover their party stalwarts are not learning any lesson from the past experience. Radharao Gracias is become a big joke by issuing silly statements when his partymen defect to other party. Voters where UGDP candidates are contesting in the by-elections should ask and get firm assurance from their candidates that they will not defect to any party and the party itself should be made responsible to maintain this assurance. I have noticed one thing from UGDP during the last so many elections that this party is not only creating more defectors but also promoting defectors and it looks like that they are fielding their candidates only to encourage defections. In such a case, is it not advisable for the voters to boycott the candidates of UGDP?
From the available information, Isidore, Babush and Mickey whom many calledCristao Traitors and Judases must be made to openly declare that they will never support Parrikar again and will remain firm with Congresses on whose symbols they are contesting the elections. So also Digambar Kamat who flirts from one party to another for gaining personal benefits. All who withdrew their support to Parrikar are first class traitors and as such they should be treated as traitors only in the coming by-elections. Knowing this factor, during the electioneering in the next few days voters and intelligent voters however small in number they may be, must grill them thoroughly on the topic of defection. The young generation who are on the threshold of embarking on their future must ask their candidates what provision they have made to create jobs for the jobless educated in their constituencies and as a proof they must ask the blueptings of their plans. Not a single candidate is thinking of creating jobs for the Goan jobless youths. The young and educated must show their �kratia� now and get their demands from their candidates otherwise once the candidates are elected they will say to hell with your demand because they will think that they got elected to fulfill their own demand of making more money, acquiring more concubines, convert Goa into an internationl brothel and etc. Can the Goan voters in the forthcoming election do something worthy to get worthy MLAs to do worthy things for the worthy people of Goa? The ball is in the court of voters and not in the court of candidates who have already got the taste of making illicit money thru illicit means. This trend should be arrested and now is the good opportunity to do this.
