Political Samples
Reference to the article "Sardinha, Luizinho, Mickky are 'samples': Churchill on Herald dated 28/08/09". Factionalism in a party has been the distinctive, destructive trait of most of the ruling parties in Goa over the years. Fractions within the present ruling Congress party and it's allies in Goa, is nothing new or even the open animosity shocking, with all the muck being thrown around, the politicians have lost all their credibility and one can see the descent of the already acrimonious governance into total disarray and abyss. >From the look of things, it isn't going to get any better, and while the scavengers fight for their pound of flesh, we Goans will be the losers. It's been amply demonstrated that politics in Goa is not about ideology but idolatry, and hence has become the victim of it's limitations and the "think-tank" of the party has not been able to distinguish between the "assets" (hardly any) and "liabilities" (overflowing) in their midst and have ambiguously and inexorably gravitated towards the corroding innards of corruption and subversiveness . No one could dispute, Churchill calling his fellow comrades "political samples", nor can we dispute, that among the blind, even a cockeyed could call himself a king, people can be misled by the non allied eyes but I am sure, by now the people of Goa are well aware of all the samples and the cockeyed, with distorted vision, who have taken us Goans for a ride and it's high time we immune ourselves to their seductive charm and their cockeyed perceptions, which are very much evident, as most of the projects that our Politicians have come up with, are anti people and anti Goa and they call it development. So far the policies of our Government have been more detrimental than developmental. What constructive development can Goa have, when all of the forty jokers are busy, trying their upstage themselves and degrade the others ? It's looks like that's their only mission and their only agenda. With the quality of Politicians, the governance that abhors a vacuum and the comatose opposition that is on display, I look at the future of Goa and Goans with great apprehension and fear. It is indeed time for every Goan to think hard, as to what sort of a Goa, we would like to have for ourselves and leave for our future generations and start sanitizing and neutering our system of the "political samples, cockeyed perceptions and comatose opposition" to make it more palatable.
