GULF-GOANS e-NEWSLETTER (since 1994)
Sardinha should retire
- Julius Carvalho, Dubai
Congress candidate Francisco Sardinha has started his re-election campaign
saying that Matanhy Saldanha is standing for election only to divide the
minority vote. This clearly shows us that the Congress is not only corrupt, but
also a communal party.
Instead of attacking Matanhy, Sardinha should explain what he has done for
Goans.
Did not the people of Goa stone his house in 1986 for not supporting Konkani as
the official language of Goa? Wasn’t the Congress responsible for the deaths of
seven Goans during the Konkani movement? Matanhy did not join hands with
Congress when he was an MLA since the Congress tried to buy him with a hefty
bribe to allow it to loot Goa and Goans.
Today, he is promising to legalise Dhirio. Is that more important than saving
Goa from mega-housing projects? Sardinha is silent on mega-projects because the
Congress wants to ‘develop’ Goa by bringing in outsiders and marginalising
Goans in their own land.
He also talks about of saving 8,000 houses of Goans affected by unjust CRZ laws
enacted by his own Congress government. Sardinha has always been a Congress MLA
or MP since the CRZ law came into force in 1991. Did he ever discuss the ill
effects of the law either in the Assembly or Parliament? Non-Goans dominate
every government department, because the Congress started selling jobs to
outsiders by taking bribes.
Sardinha should retire from politics instead of fooling Goans with false
promises, and give an opportunity to Matanhy Saldanha to save Goa and Goans.
