Advocate Aires Rodrigues continues to render sterling service to the citizens
of Goa by revealing the recent unsavoury antics of the ruling party (BJP).First
(Part 1) he informed us about the illegal meeting organised at the airport by
the BJP Chief/Emperor Amit Shah on 1st of July. He then promptly filed a
complaint. The Chief Minister of Goa was among those ordered to appear at the
meeting. Apparently this CM hasn't had the civility to explain to the people of
Goa how the meeting came about. And how has the local press reacted?
Next (Part 2), Aires filed another complaint against the BJP for defacing
public property in Goa's capital, Panjim. In his own words,
"the BJP had blatantly and illegally defaced public property in many parts of
Panaji by illegally putting upbanners, posters and flags without the requisite
permissions and further denying the CCP its much needed revenue.This illegal
and very highhanded act of the BJP was obviously in connivance and collusion
with the officials of the CCP who conveniently failed to uphold the law...
Panaji over the weekend had witnessed complete and gross abuse of power by the
BJP with CCP officials acting as stooges of the ruling party, "
Part 3: the indefatigable Aires didn't stop there. He discovered details about
the plan for the fateful meeting of 1st July and posted on GoaNet:
" Goa’s Dabolim Airport was meticulously pre-planned four days earlier while
maintaining total secrecy knowing that such a meeting was prohibited by law.
That Airport public meeting was therefore not included in Amit Shah’s two day
Goa itinerary which was circulated in advance to the press.With Amit Shah
scheduled to arrive at 11.15 am, the officials of the Electricity department
and the PWD were there at 9.30 am to quickly set up the stage, red carpet and
the sound system.
So despite all this, the very devious BJP today have the audacity to claim that
the meeting was spontaneous and the arrangements were made at the last minute
by the party workers."
It is clear that the BJP seniors consider themselves above the law and are
prepared to organise any event that suits their agenda. And they expect all the
minions of the state to fall in line. What might they do next? One can
conjecture that they might order saffron goons or vigilantes at short notice to
descend on a selected Goa village (or even church) and disrupt an ongoing
function. An ominous development.Goan Christian folks need to be prepared for
the worst in a newly imposed Hindu Rashtra.How do Goans react to Aires'
revelations? Sadly, there's hardly been been any comment on GoaNet.
