Dear Goans,A well annalysed article by Jason K Fernandes. True, as he states
the only disgusting actions Manohar Porrikar did as leader of opposition is to
stage two unsuccessful coups to overthrow a democratic elected government and
throw Goa into political turmoil. Good for Goa that the MLA s responsible saw
better sense and till date Goa has a government.As a leader of opposition
(LOO), he has failed to come out with constructive issues, except hurl
allegations and try to hide the sins of his past government. It shows that the
LOO has no intentions to be a people's representative and trap the ruling
government on its many failures, but busy himself with toppling bids to ensure
that he grabs the seat of power of the CM once again, through dubicious means
despite fittingly being routed by the electorate.Instead of being the voice of
the opposition, the LOO has chosen to be the voice of the mining community and
that shows the clean nexus of the LOO and
the mining powers, which is detrimental the interests of Goans.in fact as
Goans are slowly but surely realising the evil and selfish designs of
politicians like these, it is the people themselves who have started to group
themselves. If at all any group of late acted as the voice and ears of the
Goans, it was organisations like GBA and nobody else.Then too, feeling the
heat, several vested interests tried to sobatage the peoples movements like GBA
and hurl baseless allegations against those who were trying to raise to heights
in public service and leadership, specially in the Panjim Constituency. It is
a shame that a leader of opposition should stoop so low to instigate the masses
about baseless allegations like the recent Naxalite charge.The role of the LOO
is not to be an instigator, but to be the voice of the people against the
shortcomings committed by the ruling dispensations. Goans -- as they are know
the world over to be a patient lot has
exhibited tremendous patience thus far...about the future...time will tell...I
feel that LOO has no moral right to hold the responsible post and must resign
immediately.The people of Goa have time and again been patient to this
double-tounged politician and his many nefarious activities to destabilise the
governments.The activities resorted by the leader of opposition to cling to or
grab power at any cost clearly shows that he is ready to go to any levels in
the future to dislodge any government which is not headed by him. Watch out for
his next gimmick!It is time the Goan masses, who are at their best in a state
of mass awareness and awakening...see through the evil designs of politicians
of this caliber and show them the door at the next hustings...It is time for
new young fresh faces in Goan politics...Cedric da CostaUAE
