Ungrateful Goan Politicians
"Monxeak sondanch denk asonk zaiyo" is an old Konkanni adage, in English it means, we have to be grateful to our benefactors. It is indeed only prudent to be grateful, and in most cases this is accepted and religiously followed, as it is only ethical and supposed to reflect a good upbringing. This particular trait is not just evident in most average humans, but also prevalent in most animals too, which they adhere to with due diligence, the dog being the epitome of this congenial virtue, alas, it would have been so wonderful if only, some more of our humans species, particularly the present breed of politicians had indeed taken a lesson from the dogs and showed some sense of appreciation and gratitude towards the electorate for electing and bringing them to power, even though the choice of the electorate is certainly questionable. Last couple of years we the people of Goa have borne the blunt for the excessive voracity and gluttony of our politicians, who in their quest for plethora of wealth and affluence have subjected our peaceful lives to depravity and degeneration. The peaceful, fun loving days of Goans have all but vanished and with all that's prevailing in Goa, we Goans have become a peeved lot and our corrupt politicians unflinching in their mission, undistracted by the surge in agitations, continue to pour down disparity and melancholy over the already aggrieved Goans, adding fuel to the already burning fire within. Even though it is of utmost importance for politicians, while holding public office, to conduct themselves with probity and a certain amount decorum, our politicians certainly do lack in ethics and morals and from what has transpired in Goa during the last few days, it's obvious that our CM is also suffering from what appears to be a terminal case of a particularly virulent form of the foot-in-mouth disease. Our CM says that he does not need our votes, which also means, stick up your votes, you know where, showing us the middle finger and then in all sincerity tells women, that politics is not for them, which means politics is macho, which makes him a blatant sexist and his inflammable concoction of ego and libido is certainly on display. It's not at all difficult to assume why the senior member of the Congress and the only lady in the Vidhan Sabha has not been included in the ministry. He just does not believe in the capabilities of women. If one goes through history, women leaders of the world have had far fewer scandals, if not minimal compared to their male counterparts. Whatever said and done we should not forget these two axioms of the CM, come what may and give a fitting riposte during the next assembly elections. We all know that the Congress in Goa has survived only on account of the Catholics and the migrant vote bank, Catholics have surely not benefited from this unfortunate amalgamation but now it's time to show just how valuable our votes are, the CM may not need our votes as he has already made arrangements, courtesy Monti Dongor, Kahrebandh, Dovorlim and of course Gandhi market, the new fish and vegetable market and the wholesale market, but a good ethical and competent candidate will surely need our votes. In the last few days the arrogance of our elected representatives has come to the fore, with the CM doing a commendable job and the PWD Minister following suit, supporting a Bombay builder against the local populace. Now is the right time that we Goans showed the corrupt lot the door. As people are united, they should continue this agitation with vigour, especially our women should show our CM, that they mean business, as about 50% if not more, voters are women. I think it's time to bring down the Ali Baba government. We do not need ungrateful people to govern us, "denk naslole monis amkam nakai", Digambar Kamat Hai Hai ! Down with Digambar Kamat !
