Link below is the Eduardo Faleiro’s 04/29/2015 mocks at Govt for making false pledges.
http://www.epaperoheraldo.in/Details.aspx?id=12745&boxid=161320984&uid=&dat=4/29/2015 Mr.Edurado Faleiro was member of Parliament from 1977 to 1999. He was a Union Cabinet minister at the Indian federal government in New Delhi from 1986 to 1996. Need for Special status for Goa was felt right from the post liberation times as experienced Indian businessmen who went through two planned commissions under Nehru Govt. started buying prime land in Goa for their business and leisure interest. For the last 30 years Edurado Faleiro being our representative in parliament and Union Minister never took up special status issue with his ruling congress Govt. or got distracted with foreign scholarships for his daughters. In Democracy we have the right to know as to why Eduardo Faleiro during his long and long tenure in parliament did not plead for special status for Goa. Now he is holding press conferences asking Parrikar who is little over a year old in Union cabinet to bring in special status in Goa. The only thing Mr.Parrikar can do in an instance as Defense Minister of India is to get the navy out of Dabolim Airport in one signature. Due to shortage of dwelling land in Goa, future Goans will not be able to fulfil their dream of owning a home in Goa. This Edurado Faliero is demanding rehabilitation of neighbouring state slum dwellers in Goa, contradicting the concept of need for special status . The contractors and builders who profit from these labourers from slum dwellings should be held accountable for their rehabilitation not Goans. The Congress rule from the beginning should have made rules for every builder or Contractor and given them a quota of labourers or a number of labourers with I D’s according to their contraction needs and keep a check about their whereabouts, In the absence of clear cut rules under congress rule has given rise to this slums in Goa. Every time Edurado Faleiro was defeated in an election he some how made back door entry in the Goan cabinet using his influence like In March 2006, Mr Faleiro was appointed as Commissioner for NRI Affairs by the Government of Goa, with the rank of a Cabinet Minister was literally living with his family at Goan tax payers cost “an inspiration for millions” . And in return never spoke a word on the ongoing corruption during the congress rule in Goa. And was partly responsible along with Rane for the deaths of 7 konkaniwadi. Faleiro was born in Raia, in the then Portuguese colony of Goa, on August 30, 1940, So he was over 20 year old at the time of liberation and history shows that he never took part in the liberation movement. by Veena.
