CM Should Enact What He Preaches In Goa when the frogs start croaking on a large scale we know that rains have arrived in our homeland and the frogs get busy with their life cycle, after a few months of hibernation, the rural Goa is a witness to this yearly phenomenon.
Similarly when we hear our Goan politicians go out of the way to say all the right things, we know that elections must be around the corner. On the eve of the 43rd year of the historic opinion polls, the master craftsman of amazing camouflages and disguises, our CM, Digambar Kamat urges Goans to safeguard and preserve our Goan Identity and goes on to give Goans, one command on which lies the basic fundamentals of our security, our dreams and our prized Goan identity, “Thou Shall Not Sell Goan Land”. After helping in the sale of most of Goa, our CM now pretends to be concerned about the land sale to outsiders. Vast stretches of Cummunidade lands have been sold to outsiders by our politicians, thank God that the Goan people revolted against SEZ and RP 2011 or else a lot more land would have had none Goan owners by now. The GDIC and the IDC are nothing but fronts for selling Goan land to outsiders their main agenda being real estate brokering. If CM Digambar Kamat was interested in saving Goan land for posterity, why is the 73rd and 74th amendment still in limbo ? When all over Goa, our Gram Sabhas are fighting against mega housing, why is the CM and his cohorts not supporting the people ? Why are the TPC and the Director of Panchayat working against the will of the people ? If CM is interested in saving Goa’s land why are he and his comrades encouraging illegal migrant colonies and shanties all over Goa and trying to legalise them ? CM Digambar Kamat has clearly told Goans that he does not require our votes, as he is sure that the people whom he has given Goan land and jobs in Goa will certainly vote for him. So he does not really care about what happens to Goa and Goans as long he has an unerring and strong vote bank at his disposal. CM Digambar Kamat being the minister for TPC, could easily have protected our land and preserved it for posterity, but unfortunately there are very few ministries which are as resourceful as the TPC. CM being in real estate business logically should not have held the TPC ministry as it garners a conflict of interest, but in Goa nothing ever is logical. The CM instead of lip service should put into action what he preaches. Freddy Agnelo Fernandes
