Power And Venality Overrule Integrity And Ethics
With the huge amount of money involved in kickbacks and commissions, Indian politics, has been hijacked by a coterie of selfish and self-centered "Natas and Babus" for a long time and are now making it a springboard for their off-springs and other members of their families to launch their venal attack throughout the entire length and breadth of India, including Goa. The venality of the "netas and Babus" has been exposed through the incessant eruptions of "gaplas and gotalas" in the every form of scam and it's no surprise that the magnanimity of the swindle has been found to be directly proportional to the stature of the controlling edifice and the prominence of the authorities involved. Rodents are known to dig their way upwards leaving a big whole at the bottom, in India and more so in Goa, it's the other way round; venality has been eating its way from the apex to the base and the greed of our politicians has put us in a very precarious position, not knowing when the floor above us will give way and swallow us alive. With the perennial parasitic tentacles firmly entrenched in Goa politics, the parasites are grooming their shoots, sprouts and even offshoots to carry on their venal legacy to greater heights and the appendages legal or otherwise are all set and eagerly waiting to jump into the quagmire head first without any sense of disquiet like as though they were born for the purpose. We Goans have been wholly and solely responsible for this unprecedented scale of corruption and deception. What is unexplainable is, even after all this, we Goans still somehow manage to elect the same venal elements and then we thump our chests and call ourselves educated and a literate lot. It's hogwash ! Every time these self-centered politicians brandish their lackluster crusade, the already disabled Kamat government looks to be gasping for survival and on the verge of a collapse. With no action against the blackmailing politicians by the spineless Congress, the just concluded fiasco, establishes the fact, that venality and power does overrule integrity and ethics in Goan politics. I only hope and pray that the actions and the inactions of our venal politicians open the eyes of every Goan and so that they truly see these self-centered politicians for what they are and what they stand for and give a fitting answer at the coming elections, if not, all that I can say is, for this our profound act of perfidy, forgive us our trespasses, for we no not what we do.
