On 23rd of April the electorate of Goa gets to exercise their franchise to
send two MPs to the Lok Sabha. Over the last few years there has been a
total breakdown of governance in the State with soaring levels of
corruption. Digambar Kamat’s only priority has been to safeguard his chair
at the cost of the State. It has been virtually the Bombay High Court at Goa
that has been bringing solace to Goa’s Aam Aadmi by keeping a check on the
mounting illegal and unconstitutional decisions taken by the Government.
Goa has been a witness to public demonstrations almost every day. The
Congress government has been bringing out people to the streets. So the
forthcoming election is an opportunity to teach a lesson to a party that
does not respect people’s wishes and aspirations.
