The recent Margao communal violence should not come as a surprise to any
one. Its a ticking time bomb. Migrants are a significant vote bank of Goa's
Chief Minister (Mr. Digambar Kamat) for his political survival; a clear
manipulation of Democracy!! How much Goan Taxpayers money/land/housing is
given to maintaining/growing the vote bank? Demographics are rapidly
changing in Margao. Politicians use Migrants for Power; then what? Goans
will pick up the pieces in the future. Margao had disturbances only because
different communities will have different views; sometimes radically
different. *No community can accept a major demographic change!! * This
Uncontrolled Migrant invasion & subsequent facilitation by politicians is
spreading across Goa e.g. St Inez, Chimbel, Sancoale etc: Are we going to
stop this now in a civilized manner or allow entire Goa to Flareup!!
