And, can anyone blame the expat Goans for the sad trend that you have portrayed? If I were to leave Goa, I would do leave a frustrated man because even if I wanted to die for Goa, Goa would just discard me as a dead stray dog. WHO CARES? For one Goan lost, there could be 10 coming in from Kashmir, Gujarat, Bihar etc who would grumble less and pay more to get everything they need. And if I sold my house and property to the first highest bidder, which would invariably be the outsider, I would even forget the 'Kalchi Kodi' and the 'Amot Tikh' and say goodbye to Goa for ever and just run away. Moreover, a lot many Goan vultures have decended on the expats, from time to time, whether it may be in the Gulf, UK etc. in the name of 'bleeding for Goa' only to collect funds to line their own pockets. Recently we saw the defunct NRI-Cell Committee going to the Gulf, headed by our right honourable ex-MLA Herculano Dourado & Co., to do what?, I wonder!. Where does the money grow in the Gulf? On the date-palms, I suppose?. As far as this party is concerned, saving Goa has never been the thought behind its formation. It was more for the itch of cutting the throats of the very Goans who so bleed for Goa , so that they could bleed profusely at one shot and die a painful death. And, have we been doing something towards that end. Sure! For one thing we have contributed to a very small extent in making a small slit in the throat of the BJP in Goa. We want to see to it that Manohar Parrikar is hounded out of Goa, to Nagpur more likely, if we can help. Secondly, we want to help cut the gloated throats of every Congressmen, new and old, because they all work for themselves rather than for the Congress Party. We want to cut the throat of Dr. Wilfred D'Souza with the finest of the scalpel available so that he does not, in the least, feel that his throat has been cut. Singularly, this man has inflicted more damage unto Goa than any other person in Goa's history, and is still at it. The rest have already cut their own throats as it were to make out work easier. This Party believes that our expat Goans are suffering from the lack of real entertainment in their new found home countries. Besides, they have to work their hardest to keep up to the levels of new standards of living. Can we blame them? Naaaah! Therefore, the mission this party has embarked upon to identify and eliminate these Goan hyenas by slitting their throats will give the expats a humongous pleasure besides making them feel much at ease, just like one feels after a good body massage (how we say in Konkani .... 'Angachi borich dukh ghueli') through this absolutely free of cost entertainment - a tit for tat for the miseries they have suffered for not being allowed to make their lives in their own motherland and having to run away. And this party has decided to give a warm welcome to any/all expats who may want to come-back to their beloved Goa when the dirty blood from the dirty throats have dried out and the stink subsided, not for their money, but for their enthusiasm to come back to their own motherland and to contribute to its meteoric growth which is inevitable considering that they constitute the 'brain' that was voluntarily drained from Goa. And this Party will hand-over a clean-healthy Goa into their hands so that they can run it well as according to their needs, always remaining alert to weed-out and burn, until charred, those who might show early signs of growing-up into the detestable hyenas in the future in the footsteps of our dear Curtorim's tallest hyena and that of the fattest and shortest one from Saligao. We thank you, dear Selma, for getting this out from our insides through your wonderful wonderful post below and for making us breath easy and well once again..
