The current Goa govt, by approving the hill cutting at Bambolim, has betrayed the people of Goa. The Goa Bachao Abhiyan (GBA) should come out explicitly and vociferously with the demand that this govt be dismissed, or else threaten a mass campaign that will force it to step down.
Now is not the time for dithering, negotiations or all those procedural time wasting tap dances. The message ought to be clear: no matter which party is in power, the people of Goa will hold you to account. You try to screw us, we the people will bury you alive. Anything less than this is doomed to fail if the goal is to save Goa. As I have indicated in an earlier post, this is a mega stakes game. Mile high reams of cash have exchanged hands, and the lives of politicians are on the line if they fail to deliver on the nefarious promises made to the builders' mafia. The only way to combat this is to make life uncertain & unstable for those holding the reins of power. To preempt charges that the GBA is targeting Party A or Party B, it should come out clearly with a statement that it is party-blind, that every govt in power will be put under the GBA lens.
