CRZ The Destroyer
The lives of costal Goans will never be the same, our ancestral houses, were we were born, brought up and lived, some extended by the innocence of heart to accommodate the expanding families, houses and dream homes built by the hard earned money by sweat and blood, hindered by the laws of the jungle that benefited the privileged and transgressed the lowley, with nowhere else to go, hoping against hope that they will be spared, even after all the promises it was not to be so, as usual, victims of the broken promises, promises are meant to be broken is the mantra followed by our political leaders. CRZ will be a very important quotient during the next election, it could well be the death of Congress in Goa, the majority of the people, whose dwellings have been demolished, have been the poor and the middle class. The curses of the people, will befall on our politicians. The hard earned money invested in their dwellings crushed by the heavy duty machinery, while the politicians who promised to protect them, watched the squalor, enjoying themselves in their havens built on swindled, tax payers money. Some were even seen having a good time at a local cafe, planning to hijack the top chair in the assembly, while the dwellings of the poor were pulled down into a heap of rubble. Does it look like, these people were elected by the people, to be of the people, to protect the people ? The apathy of Goan politicians towards the masses has only multiplied and has indeed crossed the point of no return. Just before the LS elections Mrs. Sonia Gandhi had come to Goa promising to do her best for the people affected by CRZ, is this the best she could do in her power ? The environment minister Mr. Jairam Ramesh too promised to do the best in his power, after all the visits to the different costal villages in Canacona and his assurances to protect the structures, is this the best he could do, for the people of Goa ? What about Digu and his stoogies who followed the environment minister every where he went, while in Goa, what happened to their assurances ? Does the Congress have any credibility left to promise the Goan people anything in future ? Congress is dead for sure and the spineless BJP is in no better position either, because of sharing the bed with the Congress on the issues of CRZ and mining. Selfish gutless politicians only interested in their own selfish interests. Both Congress and the BJP are equally odious in comparison, if not one worse than the other. I sincerely hope that at least now the people of Goa will wakeup and realize their folly of electing the same corrupt people, who are not at all interested in the well being of Goa nor Goans. Did any of them give any statements, since the demolitions started ? While our politicians are busy making money, our poor people are being made homeless, adding to the woes of their already shattered lives. After all that has happened in the past few day and continues to happen, playing the gamut of innocence, will only highlight the stupidity of our politicians ambitions. Our elected politicians have done their best in challenging the directives of the highest court in India and saved a five star hotel from demolition, they have done their best, to save the illegal shanties of the migrants all over Goa, how come they failed to save the humble dwellings of the poor Goan people ? We do need answers ? Don't we ?
