LtE, Gomanatak Times, 27, Aug. 2010 Stop glorification
ALL of a sudden there is a break out of "a craze" to glorify GBA and it's self styled leaders, through the media and for Goa's sake, please stop this fad. GBA and its leaders have only dry sucked the people by holding two public rallies at Panaji and Margao with much funfare. What followed? In the general elections in the year 2007, the same GBA and all-most all its leaders actively canvassed for the same corrupt rulers. What followed this? Wanton destruction and plunder of Goa's environment, which in fact doubled up, What will follow? In the coming elections, the same GBA will run behind the same corrupt leaders ruling Goa today. And then, land conversions of steep slopes and low lying fields and change of zones based on "proposed" roads will go on with impunity. Then, why hosannas to members of Task Force, supposedly true lovers of Goa and GBA and its leaders. Let us stop glorifying these publicity seeking people. It's not about crab mentality but about bitter truth of vows unkept.
