--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CCP ELECTIONS HAS BECOME A DIRTY BUSINESS I SEE candidates running to every party leader like a beggar to get themselves selected so that they get cash to run the elections in their ward. Most of these candidates have no interest for Panjim but to fill their pockets and cheat the party and electorate. In fact party leader also wants to show to their High Command that they have done the job and filled best of candidates. Some who do not get the chance to remain in their party jumps to other party because their main interest is to get funds from their party if selected and use for personal gains. There is no accountability at all. I have come to understand that certain parties offer about Rs. 2.5 lakhs minimum which is for them a business. None of these candidates are interested to clean up Panjim MESS. Panjimites are idiots and every election is the same business. Panjim forever will be with garbage, roads digging every now and then and bad asphalting just for eye wash which gets bad every moonson, Casinos forever in Mandovi, Matka always ON, Defecation urination and gambling on streets is at the peak, St Ines Creek forever dirty and smelling, parking a MESS, traffic congestion in the city never ending, thefts, crimes on rise, prostitution everywhere in parks, gardens, hotels , casinos,and what not etc. Once these candidates are nominated the same will change the parties for next election if they get better remuneration. Politics is Goa is becoming a dirty game and that is the reason we have seen at the last moment candidates rushing to the Election office to get nominated so that they get funds for personal gains. There is no sincerity at all. Their eyes are only for money, money.
