Not very soon- it's now! -->" situation, for soon the ghatis will
have the numbers to take over"
I think Batekar (former chairman of MPT) and Prudent Media
commentrator, says the numbers don't look good.
Local population (what ever one wants to call them) is about 15% give or take.
How does one arrive at such a figure?
Hang around the Vasco/Margao train station and do the math: about 3K
arrive on the Nizzamudin daily, say another 3K on the weekily Patna +
Howrah 6K +. Not forgetting the folks arriving from Hubli. So the
Batekar's math does add up.
Now politics is a game of numbers and as long as there is a slum in
the constituency, a friend in politics gave me the low down: spend
minimum 4c's and you are assured of winning. Most winning candidates
do not need a single 'local' vote.
Going back to the arrivals from Hubli, in the Murmagao district
(Selma's hood) is where a certain community purchased a large tract of
land, set up house (not a slum) and a place to
pray.....now....woosh......the demographic has changed, one cannot use
the outsider word....locals if there are but a few are under
watch....one wrong move, it only takes one cel phone call to get you
to the cottage hospital with broken bones. The police won't register
an assault report...why bother.
So, the few jornos sucking a la-la-lollypop, some hairy commies trying
to save they don't know what or the posting politician and the posters
in diaspora with coloured glasses...hosa varshada
shubhaashayagalu----> kannad translated in
Concani--->Soglak Novi Orchie porob!
