Shashikala Asks The Youth To Emulate Dr Ambedkar Former Chief Minister Ms Shashikala Kakodkar calls upon the youth to propagate the ideas and principles of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, what ideas were propagated by her in her younger days and as the political leader of Goa ? Practice what you preach should be the norm followed by one and all. Instead of calling on the youth she should have been calling on the present breed of politicians to follow Dr Ambedkar and change their corrupt and communal ideologies. If at all a change is needed, it the ploitical elite of Goa that need to be bathed and scrrubed till their skins of corruption and communalism are peeled off and grafted with the skin Dr Ambedkar's ideologies, as they themselves should have been role models to the youngesters who are looking upto them for deliverance.
There is no doubt Dr Ambedkar was the epitome of honesty and integrity, he also worked tirelessly for unity and the upliftment of the downtrodden, especially from the lower strata of society. Has she followed in Dr Ambedkar’s footsteps to eradicate poverty and the cast system, help the poor and the downtrodden ? If so, even after her party being in power for over two decades, how come the people of the lower strata are still insecure and lag behind socially and economically ? The love for the poor and the downtrodden should not be seasonal or when elections are round the corner, it should be professed and practiced in all seasons. Freddy Agnelo Fernandes
