Dear Manuel,
I laud you for saying what you say in this post.
And I have zeroed down to the most sensitive point you are making viz. . "
vote out corrupt and dishonest politicians and vote in honest and
trustworthy people who have the welfare of Goa and Goans at heart and who
will deliver the type of Government that we all RG's and NRG's deserve and
long for."
But with due respect to your sentiments and love for Goa, your stated
proposal will fail miserably multiplied by 2
You mean to say that all our past and present politicians were and are
corrupt and dishonest?
I beg to differ with you on this. It would be insulting to most of them.
If at all they have become corrupt and dishonest, it is because we, the
people of Goa have allowed them, licensed them, urged them, driven them to
be so because we wanted to benefit from that corruption and dishonesty. We
are the the ones who have voted them in without they spelling out to us the
SYSTEM under which they will operate and serve us. We have not only not
sought to know what SYSTEM they have ( Political Parties) but we have failed
to ask them for anything at all and therefore they have taken us for
granted. We have simply gone and voted for them. So why should they be
non-corrupt and honest when they have paid lacs of rupees if not crores to
the very same people who voted for them?
As I have said many times, and I will say again, every person in his own
right is a good person. There are so such persons as bad persons. If you ask
the man at the gallows if he now realises that he is a bad person, his
response, most likely than not, will be " I have always been a good person.
I have been framed"
Therefore, electing people (whether they are good or bad) without a SYSTEM
is going to fail, again and again until you elect the same set of good and
bad people under a very strict - non-dilutable SYSTEM. Two things will
happen:
1. The good persons will, naturally, be happy to serve under the system
because they can remain ram-rod straight like they want to remain.
2. The bad people will, somehow, learn to adapt themselves to the SYSTEM
which makes them straight ( if not ram-rod straight) Or opt out on their own
which is good riddance to bad rubbish.
But, in the end, it is left to the people how, on what basis, they will
choose and settle for a SYSTEM which they will vote in.
Goa Su-Raj Party has put this SYSTEM on the road in its ROAD MAP FOR GOA.
Let any other Party compete with it. I can challenge you here and now that
there will be NONE. You ask the Congress or the BJP or the NCP to put down a
SYSTEM of governance for you to study it and perhaps vote for it. They will
run away one hundred miles, and fall back on their experience in governing
for such a long time. BUT NO SYSTEM they will give you because they work on
ad-hoc basis. "You get me elected and I will do what you want" You insist
on the SYSTEM and they will fall flat on their faces.
To get the people together to ask for the preview of the SYSTEM of
GOVERNANCE each and every political party may have, we have designed the
PPS movement, not in our interest (we don't need it) , but in the interest
of the people of Goa and Goa itself. Under PPS, the people of Goa can make
sure that all, I repeat, all political parties put their foot into the 2012
election ring with a convincing SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE - not to tolerate the
hodge podge of " promises galore", soon to be forgotten to revert back to
square one the moment they are elected.
What we are saying is that the people of Goa should be smart for once to
call off the bluff of these National Parties which use Goa only as their
watering hole for all of their appetites with no consideration of you, you ,
me and our GOA.
I am soryy to have relapsed into this tirade, of which I am beginning to
tire.
What I am saying is this: IF WE SMART GOANS FAIL TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN HOW
WE VOTE IN THE 2012 ELCTIONS, WE WILL HAVE FORFEITED ALL OUR RIGHTS TO CRIB
THAT WE ARE GETTING 40 ALIBABAS - NO MATTER WHAT WE DO".
As said above ONLY PPS - PEOPLE FOR POLITICAL SANITY can save the day for
GOA and GOANs in 2012 ELECTIONS.
More than the baxhaans on the internet, print media et all to say HOW TO
SAVE GOA, committed ACTION is the need of the hour.

PS: Glad to make an announcement that PPS has a current account running in
the INDIAN OVERSEAS BANK, Mapusa, initiated with a check for Rs.
10,000/-(Rupees ten thousand) from a good Goan samaritan who is the first
one to foresee the devastating effect this movement will have on the
renegade poltical dispensations who have been taking advantage of the
gullibility of the Goan voter. Simply stating, this movement is a movement
for belongingness. Once this belongingness is solidified into a multitude,
its very existence will send cold shivers down the spine of these renegades
of long, who will have no other alternative but to reform or perish.
Besides, PPS is very much POLITICAL but NON-PARTISAN. Political persuasions
and preferences will be hooked on the clothes hooks in the corner when it
comes to the well-being of Goa and Goans.
