Hi, Just to voice about as a GOAN , I wish at least one of the politicians would read this message though it would not have any impact on them after all we are just localities not any celebrities. The real Goon Model is someone like Remo,he may be a celebrity but first he is a GOAN and he really did prove it. I would second his thoughts, A lot is spend from the GOAN Budget to honor people who come to our state specially celebrities but not the people in the state, Why cant the government spend the same on developing our state , the hospitals , the schools. Last Year just because of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI)the power supply for the local citizens was cut off, I as a GOAN would ask WHY? Why is the Goan Youth generation Slogging Out of the State far away from their families the simple answer would be there are no proper careers options, no enough jobs no proper educational institutions. Why cant the Government spend on doing something for the people in the state first and then organize programmes like International Film Festival of India (IFFY). Is there a way we as Goans can help Goa to be a better place to live in? Joana. Goa can become a model state if politicians want: Remo Panaji, Nov. 27 (PTI): Goa can be a model state within no time but politicians, who can spend crores on film festival, do not care about the people in the state, said Goa's singer of international repute Remo Fernandes. "I am not protesting the film festival," Remo, who has kept away from the ongoing International Film Festival of India (IFFI), 2005 voicing his concern over spending on films and neglect of the vital issues that affects Goa, said. "I was invited to compose song for IFFI inauguration which I refused. I suppose they wanted to buy my soul and silence me by offering me the song as I would have to sing asking people to come for IFFI through that song," Remo told reporters at his residence in Miramar, near here. "If they can do it on film festival why could not they do it for improving our hospitals, schools and other basic amenities like roads," he questioned. "Countries like France before holding Cannes festival spend on their people and only after that they open their coffers for festival," he added. "If the politicians want they can convert Goa into a model state but they want power and they don't realize that simplest way to cling to power is to work for the people," Remo said.
