Dears,
It appears to be rather obvious that Vinay not only does not know party
politics and polemics in Goa, but that he is also weak in English. One should
not use words one does not understand. It impresses no one.
I hold no brief for Digamber. Digamber was a great guy for the BJP and was
Manohar-bab's No.2 man [and Digu did get him into that, too!] till 28 January
2005. He is still cosy with the RSS but the rest of the BJP can take a walk
....or fall at his feet and prosper as plenty of former manohar-bab acolytes
have already done. Moti Dongor voted for Digu when he was in the BJP
...otherwise check the poll statistics for 2002 mid-term elections, after the
first dose of benevolent BJP without the VCD or IFFI or underground power
cables in Margao.
That the Congress has ruled over India for 50 years says something for its
staying power. Why did the shine go out of the BJP in just one term of 5 years?
What happened to Ram Janmabhoomi when the BJP was in power? Who conceived the
Ram-Sethu channel? If anyone has to take the rap on the knuckles, it is the
BJP: it has betrayed its constituency!! Only Narendra Modi has dared to be
different ...and won the support of his constituency. He may not be the type of
man I would vote for but, to his constituency, he has delivered on his
promises. L.K. Advani lacks the guts to deliver on the Ayodhya temple now as he
did earlier. In Pakistan he also praised Jinnah. What else he may not do?ay
even become a gospel singer if Obama is the President of USA!!
BTW on whose votes did Manohar-bab win in Panaji? Not catholic votes by any
chance??
On whose votes did Rajendra Arlekar, Babush D'Souza, Prakash Phadte and some
other BJP guys win? Are their constituencies not migrant dominated when it
comes to votes polled?
What laws were put in place by the two successive Manohar-bab led Governments
to keep the migrants out of Goa, voters lists, employment or casual labour in
Goa? Four and half years is a long time. To which contractors were tyhe IFFI
projects given? Goan? Catholic? Bhandari? or "So Nos e nossa familia" ?? [Just
us and our family]
There is a dichotomy between the Church taught morality and the ground
reality: during the BJP regime disproportionate number of Hindus were appointed
by favour. During the Congress regime disproportionate number of Hindus were
appointed by cash. This is the reality. No proof can be provided of the
transactions, only the statistics are available. Manohar-bab has quoted them to
show he has not really altered the ratio of employment according to religion.
Or let somebody show me that even 25% of the officers, cadre wise, in any
Government Department are catholics. 26.5 % of Goans are catholic. In the
Senior Class I Gazetted posts, it is even difficult to find Bhandari and
Maratha officers. Educational performance of Goans do not show such caste and
religious differences, why do Government departments do ....even under the
Congress?
Corruption and communalism are two sides of the coin that connects you ..
through the coin box ... to a government job! The BJP shows the head while the
Congress shows the tail of the coin. It is the same coin. The other side does
not cease becuase you are not currently seeing it. Digamber Kamat and Babu
Azgaokar have been in the BJP coin box cabinet; Babush D'Souza has been in ALL
types of Congress ...INC, GC, GRC, GPC, etc. They have turned the coin over
.... for NOW! ;-)
Mog asundi.

1: Congress is the biggest fascist and communal party

party.
4: Thus even knowing that Congress party is filled with corrupt,
tainted and scandalous politicians, they stand by them and elect them
repeatedly.
5: Congress is much responsible for influx of migrants in Goa by
legalizing their slum settlements with electricity connections,
providing them with ration and voter cards to improve their vote tally
which has disturbed the demographic scenario in the state.
jc's comments:
re 1: I wonder if Mr. Natekar looked up the meaning of the word
'fascist' - a term which goes hand in hand with 'ultra-nationalist' parties.
re 2: This is a blatant lie. IF there is one thing good the Congress
did - it was to make education and opportunities available to the
masses of the poor of India.
re 3: I am not sure that one can imbibe something on another. I always
thought that the word "imbibe" denoted self. Having said that I invite
Mr. Natekar to expand on that thought.
re 4: This is the opportunity for Mr. Natekar to name the corrupt,
tainted and scandalous politicians that Goans elect
repeatedly and with whom the BJP has NOT made convenient political
alliances. For balance, he may wish to name other corrupt, tainted and
scandalous politicians with whom the BJP has made alliances.
re 5: The slum dwellers in Dongor
apparently voted for Digambar Kamat when he contested on a BJP ticket.
How does the Congress get the credit for this? ....and there was a
plan for Cuncolim!
Nuff said for now
