The average age of 28 MPs, who defied their parties and who are now expelled from their parties, IS 68 yrs and our job retiring age is 59 years!! Honestly speaking, I don't think that anyone over the age of 50 will say that he's fit to work FOR the people & WITH the people. Most of these lots, especially one in politics, JUST can't take care of themselves!! They need ALL possible securities, including Z security, and our Goa government is bestowing all possible securities to politicians, ex & present!! Then how can I expect them to take care of OUR nation, OUR Goa (With all due respect to Elders). We need YOUNG blood; we need active and honest YOUNG leaders. I appeal every young generation to realize the negative effects of staying away from politics. No doubt, Trust Vote (TV) saved present UPA government, at least for next six months. Left lost to SP in their thinking logic. But in the bargain this TV created history! 28 MPs who defied their parties are presently expelled out of their party including 80 year old Somnath Chatterjee, the Speaker in Lok Sabha, who is 10 times MP and close associate of Jyoti Basu is also expelled out. This is our PRESENT TRUST VOTE!!! Shame.. Now the BIG ISSUE is, How can an expelled party man, in chair of speaker, take decision to logically and conclusively expel the 28 rebelled MPs when the chair of speaker itself is a rebellion and expelled out by his own party? ARE we up to another STUPIDITY & SHAME!!! What are THE logic and THE after effect, INDIA, including Goa will have to face of Chattergee's seeming defiance of his Party Diktat... OR is it ONLY to avail his sanctioned FAMILY TOURE abroad at the cost of WE ...the AAM ADMI? Best regards, Dr. U. G.
