Good governance means giving people maximum facilities by charging minimum tax…………no need to pay any state/municipal tax for people living in Bombay slums……civic amenities, 24 hr water supply, sra flats, etc everything is free under the vote bank scheme……….ancestral houses & lands in native place and free housing in Bombay……..now what will be the priority of the new BJP dominated government in Maharashtra……….to encourage the growth of more slums by rewarding land encroachers and give more FSI, vacant lands, tdrs, etc in the 4500 sq km bombay metropolitan region to builders lobby like the Congress NCP ShivSena have been doing…….…or……..to improve infrastructure industries jobopportunities electricity watersupply in rural & backward districts of Maharashtra ?.
Narendra Modis Government can be considered a very good government if it work towards reducing the price of cow milk, buffalo milk, rickshaw fares, bus fares, electricity charges, sugar, foodgrains, cereals, pulses, oilseeds, rice, wheat, coconut, vegetables, poultry, gas, fuel, cng, lpg, petrol, diesel, etc by minimum 25 percent………and maintains peace equality justice harmony.........and improves employment opportunities. Pope Francis can be considered a very good Pope if he works towards motivating Archbishops, Bishops, Parish Priests to improve the health wealth housing jobs & security of lay catholics apart from the Clergy taking care of spiritual needs of the laity.............there is also a need for Pope/Vatican/Clergy to reduce the length of Sunday mass to a maximum 15 minutes in order to save time of parishioners......and make the eucharistic / communion bread from a mixture of wheat flour & non-alcoholic wine........and educate those women who go to the Church wearing short length clothes that the Church is a place of God and in order to maintain the sanctity of the Church the women should go to church wearing full lenght clothes.........and to utilize vacant church properties for setting up more graveyards, housing for poor catholics, etc. The Protestant British owned East India company beginning from 18th century allowed people from Gujarat, Maharashtra, etc to settle in the Bombay/Salsette ( www BOMBAYLAND.BLOGSPOT com ) region and the Catholic Villagers of Bombay/Salsette proudly adopted the designation EastIndians in honour of the East India Company………………The East India Company was dissolved on 1st January, 1874 as a result of the East India Stock Dividend Redemption Act, 1873 passed by the Parliament of United Kingdom, as the Government of India Act had by then rendered the East India Company vestigial, powerless and obsolete. The East India companys functions had been fully absorbed into the official government machinery of British India and east india companys private presidency armies had been nationalized by the British Crown but the Catholic Villagers of Bombay/Salsette even today proudly identify themselves as EastIndians…………The Britishers were absolutely right when they noted down in their Gazetteers that the catholic villagers of Bombay/Salsette are ignorant & drunken people………. No ambition to work towards becoming ias ips irs ifs officers doctors engineers architects traders shopkeepers goldsmiths pilots scientists surgeons chartered accountants dentists journalists ministers commissioners collectors reporters entrepreneurs etc …….No ambition to apply for government jobs, bank jobs, police jobs, aviation jobs, railway jobs, shipping jobs, etc ……...No ambition to take part in political social civic activism ……..no ambition to agitate for 5 percent quota in govt jobs, govt housing, govt educational institutes……..no ambition to demand compensation for rice fields ponds wells lakes rivers forestlands saltpanlands that were forcibly acquired in the past by state authorities, municipality, collector, etc…… no ambition to oppose the inclusion of goathans in the 500 sq ft capital value property tax system by BMC..……no ambition to oppose the marking of gaothans as slums in the bmc 20 year development map ……..the only Ambition of the Catholic Villagers of Bombay/Salsette is of alcoholism infighting jealousy gossiping.
