Babush's clean sweep in the Taleigao panchayat elections is not a verdict against or in favour of corrupt politicians. It is a verdict against the elite forces who think they know what is best for Goa and the rest of the villagers are a bunch of idiots. The lower classes are ridiculed for succumbing to the politics of chicken and money but the elite who succumb to illegal hotmixing of their private colonies and sodium lamps goes unreported. Once the elections are over will the elites of Taleigao care for the lower classes? The masses are not asses to succumb to eltist agendas. We saw it after emergency and later after 'India Shinning' era. GBA, TBA are perceived as elitist. Babush at the end of the day is approachable for the lower strata. The Taleigao panchayat election must serve as an eye opener to those who take shortcuts to social transformation by jumping into electoral politics. It is more complex than it looks from the outside. As the bible says, " do not resort to removing the spec in your neighbours eye when you have a log in yours."
