Dear John Gomes,
After watching the actions of our Goa politicians, albeit from afar,
I have come to the conclusion that most of them are opportunists who
vie for office not to selflessly serve the general populace of our
tiny state , but to serve a narrow groupmaybe the mining
magnates or the directives of the RSS ( who are the mentors of the
BJP) or maybe some personal ambition or to find a chance to
enrich themselves by extracting money from those folk who need their
help in real estate/family property/ business deals...note their
close collaboration with the out-of -state real estate developers.
The former PWD minister Churchill Alemao who won tremendous favour
with the common folk in solving water delivery problems etc; is now
under investigation for alleged acceptance of bribes together wtih his
CM of those days ( D.Kamat) from a foreign concern that was to set up
a water-related project Can you imagine the chief executive of a State
under such a cloud. However in the constant culture of corruption
which is standard operating procedure in the body politic of
India...such behaviour is tolerated as acceptable by Indian
standards.
Can you trust their party manifestos or campaign promises in their
path to public office ?

This is nothing compared
to what I dread is to come. The cabinet in Goa has
already redefined a tree and so our coconut
trees have lost their status.
Banana trees
have no branches. So they are also not trees or some
other
exception permits them to be trees?Now
old customs like bull fights
promised
without any cruelty to Bulls as per Supreme Court orders!
Ordinance I understand will be issued to
bring acche din for some. What
about old
traditions and customs like Sati etc.How far back do we go
to get
one big hindu nation including
Pakistan,Bangladesh and Afghanistan which
originally had our pure customs. Expect a lot
of more Bull! The executive
makes laws,
courts will find it harder and harder not to implement
those
laws and come into conflict with the
legislature. The man made Delhi
pollution
and Madras floods are not enough for business as usual to
continue and that too with more vigor!
