Apparently, migrants who deliver their babies in Goa -- the babies are now being classified as Goans thus entitling the parents to benefits of plots of land and free medicare
Should Goa also close its doors to such migrant babies? >
My dear Aloysius,
Yes, the doors are closing all over the wrld because of Desi Abuse of systems.
However, I believe that babies born to migrant workers (WORKING in Goa and paying their share of the taxes ) SHOULD receive the same benefits Goans are entitled to.
My point is related to Abuse of the system. And abuse which is being encouraged (I am reliably informed) by this BJP Govt. in an effort to dilute the MINORITY (read Catholic) vote in South Goa.
A similar thing happened during the Bandodkar regime where qualified Goans were denied jobs with the help of a technical monouvre.
(please visit http://www.colaco.net/1/letdown.htm and read towards the middle of that page )
There was also a short lived attempt (by Housing chap called Behl) to deny Goans from the ability to purchase property in Goa. After a good old cut-ass, he was called back to Delhi.
good to hear from you
