<Don't understand why the Mayor got involved or what business he had at the
police station on that fateful night?>
RESPONSE: Thank you JoeGoaUK for your photos that say more than a hundred
words in print or on the phone. By paying their taxes, the citizens that
live within the purvey of the Panjim municipality have a contract with the
CCP. By forcing its employees to go on strike, and not collecting garbage,
the CCP has broken this contract. I have a suggestion for the citizens of
Panjim. Take your garbage and dump it at the office and/or home of the
corporator of your ward. If you have leftover garbage, dump it outside the
CCP office and if you still have leftover garbage dump it outside the office
and/or home of your MLA. These are the people you elected to public office
to serve you. Rest assured, serving you is not at the top of their agenda.
<I read about this in today's Goan papers as well. Can some one on the
ground please inform goanetters whether the stench is emanating just from
the uncollected garbage or whether the decaying congress administration is
contributing to it too?>
RESPONSE: 9 months later, the Congress-led Government of Goa should realize
that come what may, they will not be allowed to govern the state. There will
always be some poor sob who will derail every attempt the government of the
day makes that relate to governing of the state and its people. Every
politician of every party has demonstrated time and again that unless they
have a 'kodel', they will not allow anybody else to sit in it peacefully.
As far as our politicians are concerned, personal compulsions far outweigh
the needs of the state of Goa and its people. And I mean politicians at
every level - from the panch, sarpanch.......all the way up to the highest
political office in the state.
From the Navhind Times, Feb 25, 2008: The acting CCP mayor, Mr Yatin Parekh
told 'The Navhind Times' this evening "We hope that good sense prevails in
the government and it agrees to the CCP demand so that we can immediately
start the city cleaning operation," he pointed out.
Is this Yatin for real?? Does he have any "good sense" in himself??
Blackmail the government to do your own job? Well I hope the government does
not give in to his demands and I hope the people of Panjim riot at the CCP
corporators.....and no marks for guessing who Mr Parekh will be calling on
to protect him at that time.
As many have said here, the train has left the station........and it ain't
going anywhere nice!!
