Breaking news for Aldonkars.
Dayanand Narvekar. the current Aldona MLA and the Finance Minister of Goa
has up'd his election time bonanza ante from Rs. 2000 per vote in elections
2007 to Rs. 5000 for the next Assembly elections.
His word cannot be doubted. Can we?? After all he has the keys to Goa's
Treasury.
The ante could only go on increasing with the rise in inflation.
This increase in the ante, however, is only for the ordinary voter of
relative 'no importance'. For those with position and importance, especially
the priests of the catholic church and persons with priestly connections it
is brand new 4-wheelers of latest models.
What more could one ask for? The days of sarees and plastic buckets are over
and done with.

Goa's Chief Minister is using the magic word of Development, to support
the
builders lobby, against the wishes of the people. It is more of
the development of his builder friends, potential additions to his
migrant vote bank and of course, his personal/political interests. Yes,
Goa
needs development but it has to be in line to the interests of Goa's &
Goans; and not the interests of Mr. Kamats greedy Congress Party & the
builders lobby. There can be fair solutions to develop Goa & preserve our
identity & be part of the Global Community; but unfortunately these
politicians will not try/act; mainly because of the huge illegitimate
financial gains, they could loose and also, they wouldn't want to do
anything that could possibly unease, their supreme masters in New Delhi.
