But, unlike > many uneducated leaders in Bihar, Rajasthan and Madhyapradesh, and > Uttarpradesh (BIMARU), he comes from a decent respected family with > technical mind. He used "I" to facilitate communication, and not to say that > he is an expert on the subject matter. Goans need to give him a chance and > not label him as "Saffornization". Like Catholicism the word has religious > bias and it may actually hurt the sentiments of a large population of Goa. > Hindu (Vedanta) as well as Christian (Ten commandments) philosophy can > provide good common values for family life, love, and charity. I have lived > in the US for 34 years and have been able to raise our children with > understanding of goodness of both philosophies without sacrificing Indian > culture. The fact that BJP did not get a majority speaks for itself. Goans > are smart people who have assimilated temples, churches, forts and beaches > as a part of their culture. > > (2) Current PM has announced a lot of funds for economic prosperity of Goa. > Goans need to take advantage of it. Konkani Railway brought prosperity to > Kerala, more so than Maharashtra. When BJP gets elected other parties, > opposition, and Press give them hardtime. Yet, if you look at Pramod > Mahajan, Manohar Parrikar, Prabhu, the younger generation is highly > intelligent and staunch Indians. > > (3) Please give your CM some honeymoon until he unravels the 10 year plan. > Then, accept that portion that provides economic prosperity to Goans. Debate > the issue within 90 days to compromise on the remaining issues, and so, you > can go forward. Time is of essence because children grow fast. They need > quality education and jobs. Elderly need a decent medical care and > retirement. We need to focus on the big picture. If the plan is sound and > funded, everyone will WIN in a long-run. > > Regards, > > Subhash Paradkar
