This fraud is exploited by every succeeding > Government till date to the detriment of all people in Goa including the Devasthans >and Churches, who do not hold any land from the State > under any tenure as is the case in State of Maharashtra. > > All the Gaunkars/Componentes and other members of the public may decide to vote in >the forthcoming election according to the public > declaration or assurance given by the concerned parties contesting and eager to form >the next Government in the State of Goa. > > Thanking you, > > Yours faithfully, > For ASSOCIATION OF COMPONENTES OF COMUNIDADES > > sd/- sd/- > (POLICARPO C.
