Voters to resort to surgical strike The politicians resigning from primary membership and the party is an unprecedented model promoted by Goan politicians IT is clear that there is no allegiance to ethics or to voters nor loyalty to the party In by elections the defectors have received mandate to continue and personal clout has been the factor and that has emboldened the jumping chickens The parties too welcome such defectors with avowed aim to stick to power.The very same people will do a U turn soon.Their personal greed and ambitions must flourish.Cast your vote wisely only means for themselves and parties.If there is no suitable choice either abstain ,use NOTA, that will not have effect Parties do not consider track record or passion for social commitment or their educationa, experience or ability to discharge legislative duties.At every election the thrust is same winability at all costs Hence so called suitable candidates have no muscle and money power to take them on The next best thing is to vote for newer faces, and ensure change of candidates and parties.This alone drives fears down their spines. The parties are to be blamed for these anomalies, as disprotionate developmental budget, schemes are initiated in the constituencies of ruling party.Hence the lure for power and the development mantra is cause of defections, poaching , as it is crucial election propaganda vehicle.Just see the flury of carpeting roads just prior to elections It is Hobson choice for voters who are also confused with number of candidates and parties Vote for a change is the best alternative choice Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
