Elections to Rob and Loot?
Vote for Change!
Local Candidates for the Cuncolim Municipal Council elections have commenced
their campaigning, some of them had donated Projectors to view the recently
concluded Football world cup matches on big screens, whereas some are involved
in repairing Chapels, donating train tickets to visit Valankani
etc,etc.Elections in recent times has turned to be a good
profit-making business. The one and only requirement to win any election is a
technique to fool local people. After the last Assembly elections, a Councilor
publicly declared that he won’t be contesting in the next Municipal Elections
but this is a low investment business and if turned successful it’s all money
around, sacs of money. So once elected very few loves to resign from politics
and take rest, unless the people make them rest. The reservations in the name
of SC/ST/OBC also to play a major role in the election drama.
The business is so profit-making that some government servants who are earning
a decent salary may resign from the service to contest municipal elections. We
must have witnessed a lot so called development in our historic village of
Cuncolim but also don’t be blind not to witness the development of our own
elected Councilors. They developed a lot, I mean, sacs of money.
The present ones are well trained to rob and loot.First, the so called Cuncolim
Municipal Council issued a License to a controversial project at Addiband,
Cuncolim and now to make the people happy, a Work Stop order has been issued.
Stop will definitely turn into start after the elections. Is the said project
Illegal? If so, why not cancel the License? Trained, Licensed Thieves will have
a better answer.
Last but not the least, they are perfect thieves. They hold a Master’s degree
in the profession of politics and we the people should not give them a chance
to use their degree against us and our historic village. Let’s vote for a
change, not because the new ones will turn better but only because they will
take time to achieve the degree to Rob and Loot.
