5 Years of Shock and Awe
The 5 years of misrule by Digambar led Congress-MGP-NCP combine will
always be remembered as a reign of terror by Goans everywhere. So far,
Digambar has been the worst ever CM for Goa, as equally as that occupied
by his former comrade and predecessor Manohar Parrikar. This reign of
terror that has stretched for the last 12 years began from the year 1999
with the accession of Manohar Parrikar to the CM’s chair.
The last 12 years have been characterised by the alarming deaths of many
innocents on Goan roads, in mining tragedies, in custodial deaths, dowry
and extramarital related, drugs and sex related as well as high profile
medical and infrastructure negligence. These incidents have continued
unabated too long without anyone being forced to be accountable and we
the people and ignorant Goan electorate have preferred to be tolerant,
short sighted, forgetful, sussegad and complacent without the will to
change.
So, When it comes to Crime, Are we Partners in Crime?
When it comes to time, we’ll be ready to die………
The deaths are countless. Its been Cypriano, its been Melvin Gomes
(Cansaulim), its been Scarlett Eden Keeling, its been the innocent power
linesman on duty, its been the innocent people near the naptha tanks in
Vasco, its been the infamous Nadia Torrado-Micky Mouse Episodes, its
been the innocent anti-mining activists Satish Rivonkar and Francis
Jevaji, its been the innocent passengers, its been the foreign tourists,
its been the young Raveena who died due to surgical complications, its
been the innocent tribals from Balli and now finally its been the
innocent school children at Calvim. Were not all these lives precious
and dear to their families?
The latest tragedy is a big eye-opener. Definitely someone has had blood
on his hands and the Chief Secretary has to be made accountable for the
failures in this disaster management. It’s very easy for the CM to go
ahead and announce compensations which are not from ones pockets however
no minister deemed it fit to donate the huge profits they rip from their
businesses in mining and real estate to develop and implement life
saving measures and infrastructure till date.
A life lost is lost and the CM has lost his moral right and dignity to
rule. As a mark of respect and mourning, we would have appreciated his
announcement of resignation in addition to the cancellation of carnival
parades
Will things ever change in Goa? Will Goans take this opportunity and get
rid of the CM who is unmoved by the events of the last 5 years?
Digambar will never be remembered for any good things for Goans. The
only way his supporters will ever remember him is his perfection in
which he has managed to stick on to his chair for a full terms.
The Rein of Terror and Corruption must End
And We all know that in our greater interest for Goa and Goans, there is
no other way. This CM must go.
