The Goa Su-Raj Party is surprised over the upcoming Mapusa Bandh
announcement for May 12 called in protest against faulty ODP by the All
Goa Merchants Federation and Mapusa Merchants Association as reported in
Herald edition of May 10, 2010
Goa Su-Raj Party is totally and completely against any 'bandh' and
considers the bandh culture, as imported into Goa, as obnoxious and
borders on goondagiri and extortion culture.
As a part of the Citizen's movement of Mapusa to see Mapusa whole-somely
and intelligently developed, the Party's members are involved in the 'MAPUSA
NAGRIKANCHO EKVOTT' which has denounced the presently notified Mapusa ODP
[Outline Development Plan] and has asked for it immediate modification on
the lines of the requirements of the 'Memorandum' submitted to the Mapusa
Municipal Council as well as to the Government by MNE.
The Party is also aware, through its several members who are also a part of
MNE that the proposed 'bandh' by the Mapusa Merchants Association is
supposed to be a self-imposed bandh by the affected Mapusa Merchants and is
not to be a total bandh as reported. If it is, then the Party strongly
protests such a bandh and the authorities should take every action not
allowed it at all.
The Goa Su-Raj Party has always sympathized with the Mapusa Merchants and
their long- standing genuine grievances, having been left to the winds by
the so called authorities. As such the Mapusa Merchants have every right to
protest against the non-functioning of the Mapusa Municipal Council as well
as against the present Mapusa ODP, as it is entirely self-serving and
caters to the vested interests and not the long-term interests of the
Citizens of Mapusa, Goa and the world beyond, Mapusa, especially the Mapusa
Market being a touristic attraction of the world.
It is altogether another matter that in the present condition that this once
famous market is, it is called a 'market' at all.

It is not ENOUGH that GOOD, HONEST citizens contest elections.
It is not ENOUGH that GOOD, HONEST citizen voters elect good, honest
representatives.
GOA urgently needs 'GOOD, HONEST, DISCIPLINED SYSTEM of GOVERNANCE'.
Wherein, even a dishonest person is forced to be good, honest n disciplined,
