Sam,
Are you thinking aloud or hallucinating?
Have you not realised that winning elections is big business for the winner
as well as the voter?
Look at Datta Damodar Naik. He wanted to cut corners, being a builder,
with the
TCP Minister Babush. In turn Babush wanted a rather large corner for
himself.
Datta complains to CEO Manohar Parrikar. MP says nothing doing, you deal
with Babush. Datta tells MP that he will live to regret this. Goes to work
on his friend Digamber. Rescues him from the BJP suffocation and gets him
into the fresh
air of the Congress. And the loot and plunder continues unabated. Datta even
gets himself parked on the Task force too. See how it works??
Accountibility??
It is only for the preaching fraternity which does not positively have any
desire to practice what they preach.
12.5 lacs?
Make it 12.5 crs and all the clean people, whom you will be surprised to
see, and who doggedly profess apolitical faith, will swamp you.
Possibility is that that even Datta Damodar Naik will be in line to SAVE GOA
on his own terms. If you ask me, Rajan Parrikar should know better.

Subject: Re: [Goanet] Why activists dont fight elections?
One has to first win elections if you want to change
the so called system. So it is a chicken and egg
problem.
There are enough examples where people power has
beaten
politician power. What is needed is unity and some
money.
Also, some sacrifice by the people in favour of the
common good.
Consider: the GBA brought the govt. to its knees.
It gave an ultimatum and an elected govt. had to
succumb and it led to resignation of Babush as
minister...........................................
