Goa is reeling under a host of serious issues due to a government that has become dysfunctional and apathetic to the people’s concerns. The Aam Aadmi is raging with fury and disgruntled. Almost every decision taken by this government over the last four years has either been kept on hold by the government if not stayed and quashed by the Courts.
In the background of this grim reality the Government is co-hosting a two day Global Goans Convention in London beginning July 22nd. Today every overseas Goan is aware of the happenings in his motherland. We have had enough of conventions. The time for mere talk has long past. We need some concrete action to salvage what remain of this once beautiful Goa. What purpose will it serve deliberating on Goan issues overseas. The nitty gritty issues are known to all and have to be resolved here. But the Government does not have the will or spine to act and pull Goa out of the woods. The London bound Goan entourage led by Commissioner for NRI Affairs Mr. Eduardo Faleiro including musicians, singers and folk dancers will do what they have been doing best over the last five years. This time only the destination has changed. Earlier it was at Kuwait, Toronto, Qatar and Lisbon. This year the eating, drinking and making merry at the cost of the State exchequer will be at London. Mr. Chief Minister, how does your government have the audacity to be celebrating in London when the atmosphere in Goa is of gloom and doom? The law and order situation is alarming. About the maladies due to the illegal mining and the other glaring illegalities of your Government, the less said the better. Corruption under your government is at its very peak having overtaken the Himalayas. It is an irony that after 50 years of Liberation Goa has to gear up to be freed again.
