To,
The Editors.
Sirs,
Sub: Press Note for Kind favour of Publication: Re: More Shacks in Baga - No
CCTV in shacks
As according to the news reports [30.9.12], the Chief Minister Mr. Manohar
Parrikar seems to have buckled-down to the vociferous demands of the
Shack-Owners to relax the already in-place POLICY on beach shacks for which
the general public of Goa have been waiting for with bated breath.
Practically everyone [except the vested interests] have hailed the new
policy, including this Party, terming it as 'GOOD but not GOOD ENOUGH' ,
meaning, 'it could have been tighter'. Now this new U-Turn on this POLICY
by the CM is unprecedented and undesired giving credence to the phrase
coined by the general public that Manohar Parrikar's Government is a
Government full of U-TURNS. This Party want to know as to why the POLICY was
declared in a hurry if all the stake-holders were not taken into confidence?
When the policy decision is made, how can the CM bend -down to say that the
'grievances of the Shack-Owners will be addressed' ? If the CM has felt the
need to visit the beaches after declaring the POLICY, isn't this exercise
upside-down, when he should have apprised himself of the ground realities
before declaring the POLICY? If this much touted about new POLICY was all
for the benefits of the Shack Owners and nothing for the common man, then
the general public would have had nothing to say except that the Manohar
Parrikar Government is all for the destroyers and looters of Goa just like
what they are saying about the MINING in Goa.
This Party will have no alternative but to take Manohar Parrikar's
Government to task, if necessary through a WRIT PETITION in the High Court
of Bombay at Goa [ like it had done w.r.t. IFFI in 2004, and where the
Manohar Parrikar Government had narrowly slipped through if the already
declared POLICY on Shacks in Goa is DILUTED, specifically in the number of
Shacks to be allowed, the installation of CCTV cameras in the Shacks and the
BAN on LOUD MUSIC as instituted in the said POLICY.
Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely,
for Goa Su-Raj Party

************************************************************
Goa Su-Raj Party strongly believes that Parliamentary Elections must be
contested by National Parties only AND/OR by a Federation of State
Regional Parties.
with a reciprocating understanding by the National Parties that the 'State
Elections' shall be the prerogative of State Registered Political Parties
only. Even then, and in the absence of such a ruling by the Election
Commission of India, GSRP would want GOANS who are ERUDITE,
knowledgeable about India and its problems, as well as World affairs,
'STATESMEN/WOMEN' , to contest on it's 'TICKET' in the coming 2014
Parliamentary Elections. Let GOA endeavour to send two real Parliamentarians
to the House of the People in New Delhi for once.
