In preparation for Assembly Elections, Senior/Corrupt Ruling Ministers have started their political gimmicks by trying to entice voters with paid advertisements, fertilizers, payment of amenities, in-discriminate cash disbursals, special favours (including illegal); all at a cost to them which is significantly lower when compared to the HUGE actual amounts that they have realized via looting the state treasury & tax payers via excessive corruption, indiscriminate mining, huge kickbacks for projects/industries which suit their pockets (not the common man) and also financial incentives from wealthy non-goan parties to pursue monstrosities like mega projects, sale of Goan land etc Perhaps these corrupt ministers are “SMART” as they know what it takes to “BUY” the Goan electorate; so that they can continue to remain in Power and realize even more illegitimate wealth for themselves & their privileged families. If Goans continue to prefer these short term incentives, surely they appreciate that in reality their actual loss is much higher and they, their families & Goa are on course to be doomed in the near foreseeable future. Goans need to think/act maturely; we can have a truly progressive state by opting for new faces rather than the known Anti-Goans, who have been given enough chance/time to deliver results for Goa & Goans. We need to look beyond our small minded selfish desires and look at the bigger picture for Goa & Goans. These Corrupt politicians have become so thick skinned knowing that regardless of what they do, susegad goans can be fooled and will put them back into power; as a result of which they become even bolder in their Anti-Goan activities. By at least rejecting, the known Non-Performers & the Anti-Goans, Goans can at least send a strong message that Politicians (and their Priviliged Families) not acting for Goa/Goans, can be replaced by New Ones!!
