*Why BJP has No Voice against Monsarette* * *
Nothing illustrates better the political cross-currents, special interests and short sighted super- Memorandum of Understandings (MoM) (also known as Money of Understandings when translated to financial terms) now at play in one of the greatest political Election carnival of Goa than the debate over the BJP’s soft corner for Monserratte. After being embroiled in several high profile acts, controversies never seem to dodge the Monserrates Mansions. The latest being the kickbacks from land conversions amounting to Rs.26 crores and being substantiated by various media sources. He has hogged the limelight with his sensational arrest at Bombay airport where in it was first time in international history that an Education Minister acted like an illiterate and feigning ignorance on travel and currency issues when being questioned by customs sleuths. The past too is never forgotten like the stoning of police station, the alleged Miramar scandals and the alleged rape of a German underage girl. However the BJP which is well known to bring the Parliament to standstill on corruption as well as the ‘’Aam Aadmi’’ to despair when they support bundhs sponsored by the lunatics from BBSM, they forget all the corruption and morality when it comes to the Godfather Babush. And although Parrikar keeps throwing surprises like a frog croaking when the first showers lash Goa, his talks about proofs and filing cases are restricted mostly during elections time. Moreover nothing progress beyond this stage. This definitely indicates that they don’t even have a firm voice against Monsarette. The truth lies in double standards apparently on corruption and criminality and I think BJP has a lot more to answer to the Goan electorate in addition to cancellation of Holidays holy to the Catholics as well as the controversial release of CD. I don’t think that anyone will contradict my views of cats being scared of rats in Taleigao. Goans feel cheated by the no love lost by the BJP towards their former cabinet colleague and a former TCP minister even though BJP has always been a toilet paper to Babush which was demonstrated very well when Parrikar was unceremoniously and rudely thrown down like a humpty dumpty who could never be put up again. Anyway this is Goa where we live and there are non-stop tiatrs where gullible electorate gets entertained by classical actors and jokers and sometimes fooled (in the name of Dynamic Social Workers or leaders of Ramponkarrs or for that matter even promises of a Special Status) very often but rarely once in a blue moon….. oops! I mean 5 years.
