*THE ELECTION DYNAMICS IN OUR COUNTRY* Our politicians do not want to change their powerful and lucrative self legislated ways where the people are slaves for five years of their rule until the next lucrative elections! The people shamefully must take equal blame for choosing politicians who can personally or illegally benefit themselves . The BJP has changed the electoral dynamics with emphasis on Hindutva, nationalism and with their overflowing coffers, being in the majority government in control of the nations agencies and resources are pandering to emotional feelings with Mandirs, statues, widely advertised welfare measures which the opposotion is unable to match. The oppostion does not have the well oiled election machine with the PM as their star campaigner. They are unable to get together due different ideologies and the ruling party clearly using enforcement agencies and every ploy to keep them divided. The basic issues of high prices, inflation, education, jobs, increasing disparities in income and malnutrition, polarization of the nation etc are sidelined. In Goa we have politicians with absolutely no ethics, jumping ship and back, being poached and outside parties like TMC and AAP in the fray.This is the last chance for people of Goa to preserve their way of life, vote out the winnable candidates put up by the various parties and vote in politicians we can respect and who respect us and help us to live peacefully and healthily with each other and with nature, John Eric Gomes Porvorim (Tel 2417837)
