As the General Secretary of the Goa Su-Raj Party [ prominent Goans like the
writer above have not understood the difference between Su-Raj and Suraj.
We are tired explaining that whereas Suraj means the 'Sun', Su-Raj means
'Good Governance'] That aside, the question we ask is ' WHO IS GOING TO
SPLIT THE VOTES'?. Like one cannot ask all the Onion sellers/vendors in
the market to sell onions as one, political parties cannot come together
with their differing intrinsic agendas. In a democracy every one has a
right to display his/her strong points. How does one get all the diverse
agendas together? In Bihar Nitish Kumar joined hand with his long time foe
Lalu Yadav to beat the BJP. But in the bargain he has cut his own legs. How
can he justify what is happening in Bihar? and at what cost? . Can this
artificially glued mahagadbandhan keep the BJP out for long? The same
question goes for Goa. Can any aligned coalition work in such a way that it
will keep the BJP or the Congress away for long? Artificial stitching of a
suit? It never works. If Goa's serious voters are interested not to split
their votes to benefit the BJP (which will happen if they follow the
conventional voting pattern i.e. I shall always vote for my party], then
they should understand that they must know what they are voting for. If
they are voting because the candidate or the party maestro has helped them
before, then we don't want to say anything. But if the voters will want to
vote for themselves ( not for illegal favours) and for the future of their
children, then they must take interest in finding out who has the right
recipe and go vote for it. (the recipe).
