Dear Voters of South Goa,
I am expat in Dubai would like to humbly request the electorate in Goa to
kindly vote for Mathany Saldanha in the forthcoming elections.
At least we have a man who has fought and is still fighting for the causes that
are dear to GOA and GOANS. His one seat may not alter any equations in Delhi
but it means a lot for us Goans. The Congress and the BJP are two sides of a
coin Either of them will have a say in the coming govt. But with Mathany we
have a voice which will atleast be noticed and not bulldozed like how the
present congress govt is doing in all spheres. I am not bothered whether UGDP
is alive or not.
Sardinha has not done anything worthwhile except introduce the bull fight bill
knowing very well that it will go to the dust bin. We have more issues dear to
us than bull fights. I am happy that the state assembly has passed some
legislation in this regards courtesy Lourenco. We have a coterie of robbers in
Congressman who you can see are fighting for the thirty pieces of silver. Right
from the CM to Sarpanchas, even observers, all work not for party goals but for
their own personal benefits. Its a shame till today Congress cant fight on its
own in GOA. In south they are fighting amongst themselves and in North, they
could not even put up a candidate but bowed down to the NCP whose Pawar is
still jumping around looking for new alliances. He is still nursing hopes of
becoming PM. God save India, if such is a case. If thats the case, we could
even ask Bangarappa to be the PM.
Sawaikar might be a good fellow but he has no grassroot support. Hope the votes
are not polarised along religious lines. I had never heard his name on any
public issue. May be he requires more time to groom but i dont want him to win
just because he is a Hindu.
For us Christians, its time to tell the Congress, that enough is enough. If we
dont save our Goa today for Goynkars today, it will be lost forever. Let Goa
then, be ruled by Ghanttis, because thats the rate at which Goa is being
conquered by migrants.
Let us all, Hindus, Christians, Muslims of Niz Goenkarponn in South Goa please
vote for MATHANY SALDANHA. The Ghantti votes will always be bought or will
always vote for their godfathers in Congress or BJP.
>From far away Dubai, you have all my support. Vote for Mathany.
