To enter the 'esteemed' Goa Legislative Assembly, the 'steam' needs to be
generated by the voters, by the people, and not by the would be legislators.
If one is going to be a GOOD legislator, it depends on his/her capabilities
and his/her ability to think of GOA and it's people and not of
himself/herself.
Therefore, those who go visiting every household and knocking on every door
during election times are PHONEYs.
In fact the people of the constituency ( the ones who count) should be
knocking at every door to sound the voters to vote for the person they want
as their LEGISLATOR.
Many a persons have asked me when I contested in 2005 in Taleigao and 2007
in Aldona as to why I did not visit households.
And many a persons have asked me why Julius Pereira (Aldona) or Annabelle
Pereira (Taleigao) have not visited households [Elections 2012].
And my answer to them has been 'YOU NEED A GOOD LEGISLATOR to look after
the affairs of Goa and Goans. So you should be visiting the Candidates and
not them to you. If you will cast your vote if the candidate begs for it at
your door, then please don't vote for our candidate/s. Vote for Narvekars
and Jennifers and take what you get.

PS:
GRA-GSRP is going to change this mind-set of the people about candidates
making house-to-house calls just before elections.
Also, there is not going to be noisy campaign vehicles trying to attract
attention of voters ( which does not).
And there will be no distributing of money and laddos but asking the voters
to contribute towards the election expenses of our candidates to make the
process participatory and not one sided.
Voters should not be pampered by candidates. It has to be the
other-way-round.
Makes Sense? Mostly, It will not.
Therefore, this is our DEMOCRACY, where Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the
champion of India's DEMOCRACY is on record for having said that "THE VALUE
OF A VOTE IN INDIA IS THE PRICE OF A MEAL"
And Narvekars, Babushes, Parrikars etc of GOA are proving him right.
Double Cheers

Subject: [Goanet] Elections and the Candidates
Candidates come to your door only during Election time,
to inform you to vote for them and later forgets you for
the next five years. For any help if you go and sit at their
door you are neglected. It happened to me with our ex MLA
Dayanand Narvemkar. All of them need your help only during
election time.
I go home every year in December for Christmas Feast and New year.
For past three years this young lad stepped my door to wish me and my
family for Christmas. He not only stepped in my house but I saw him
entering
every Kristaum house in my Vaddo. He now is the Independent Candidate
in Porvorim Constituency.
Mr Rohan Kaunte wish you best of luck and sure you will be elected to
power.
After getting elected don't neglect the people from your constituency.
Keep up your good work by visitting each house the same way.
Thank you.
Regards
Peter Fernandes
