My dear Goans,
Goa is celebrating the 64th. Goa Revolution Day on 18th. June, 2010 and our
good wishes goes to each and every Goan with just a thought to ponder on.
It took a rank outsider in Shri. Ram Manohar Lohia to instilled the spirit
of REVOLUTION into the bloodstream of Goans in the year 1946, even prior to
the gaining of Independence for India from the British rule. Thereafter, it
took 15 years for this revolutionary mind-set of Goans to have India help
Goa to get rid of the Portuguese because Portugal was contemptuous towards
handing-over the reins of Goa in the hands of Goans, leave, to maintain
friendly relations with Goa and Goans which it has ultimately done through
the back-door, as it were, after having been humiliated to no extent by the
invading Indian Armed Forces. The transition of Goa into the hands of Goans
would be no great deal, as Goans were handling every aspect of governance
in this territory, anyway. Besides, this very act would deprive Pandit
Jawaharlal Nehru of the excuse to march into Goa to resurrect the political
fortunes of his close friend Shri. Vengalil Krishnan Krishna Menon,
especially suffering after the 1948 'Jeeps scandal', even at the expense of
a barrage of world criticism and even having to go against the root
Non-Aligned stand against 'aggression' and 'non-violence'. Probably this
inner guilt feeling and a veritable slap in the face from the international
community hastened his death in 1964 at the age of 75.
49 years down the line, what Goa was promised by him, that Goa will be
treated as a special case with 'special status' etc. is yet to be realized.
In the meantime Goa's demography is being actively sought to be diluted by
his very own party, the Indian National Congress for vote-bank politics when
in time "special Status' for Goa will hold no meaning at all.
1967 saw the tumultuous Goa's 'Opinion Poll' where the sheer determination
of Goans saved Goa from being merged with the neibouring Maharashtra. In all
probability, if Mr. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had in his heart any special
consideration for Goa and Goans, he would have outright denied the demand of
the mergerists, leave alone sanctioning of the "Opinion Poll" where the
very being of Goa and Goans was threatened and came very close to being
lost, if not for the above mentioned sheer determination to survive and
keep their Goanness very much alive.
The mergerists, having lost their grip on their dear dreams of decimating
Goa and Goanness, have been, all through the years since 1967, nursing the
feelings of bringing death to Goa and Goans. This has been evident during
the 17 long years of misrule and the beginning of the destruction and
devastation of Goa by the erstwhile Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP).
The same MGP stalwarts resurfaced through re-incarnation as Congressmen to
rule Goa ever since, with a brief spell of the equally destructive rule by
the communal RSS-BJP with the insider help of the mergerists. Luckily, their
bluff has been called and Goa remains in a vice like grip of the erstwhile
mergerist masquerading as Congressmen and getting away with it, fooling
Goans. Their hatred for Goa and Goanness is manifest in the way the Official
Language Act (1987) has been implemented by inserting "Only Devanagiri" as
the script for 'Konkani' when the 'script' itself should not have been
mentioned, giving equal rights to 'Roman' as well as 'Devanagiri' scripts.
That Goans are not happy with the prevalent state of affairs with Goa going
down by the day with the destruction of its hills and forests, its water
resources and agricultural fields, its rivers and beautiful God given golden
beach fronts, with no sanitation to call by its name and garbage flowing
onto the streets; roads and market places with impunity; with the dilution
of the Goan demography through illegal promotion of surreptitious
in-migration in the name of development; the lack of rule of law where the
esteemed citizens of this land are left unprotected; corruption at every
level and political insanity galore. It is very clear that Goans are
thinking in terms of liberating Goa for the second time, this time to give
their Goa the much needed and much promised 'Special Status', even at the
cost of instituting the 2nd Opinion Poll to stop the massive sale of Goa
through the backdoor.
On this 64th. Goa Revolution Day, let us tell Shri. Ram Manohar Lohia that
his efforts to liberate Goa from the Portuguese yolk has been successful to
the effect that a more deleterious home-grown yolk has been harnessed on the
backs of Goans today to see that they lose everything dear to them, even to
the extent of losing their Goa itself. The agenda being that if Goa was not
merged into the heartland of Maharashtra, Goa will be taken away from Goan
by diluting its demography in such a manner that Goa does not remain Goa
that was, in a few more years. Let us tell Shri. Ram Manohar Lohia that we
Goans will now fight these home grown traitors in this new revolution of
the ballots not only to see that new, Goa Centric minds are inducted into
the service of taking care of Goa and Goans but also providing a Road Map
for them to move on - A road map for a 'System of Governance' that will not
tolerate any diversions or manipulations. Let us tell Shri. Ram Manohar
Lohia that we Goans shall send the ever so destructive Delhi - Nagpur -
Maharashtra High Commands packing for once, to install Goa's own High
Command in Goa. That New Delhi will have to spread a red carpet for Goa's
CEOs to walk on instead of being on 'beck and call' from the 'cooks' in
Delhi. Let us tell Shri. Ram Manohar Lohia that we Goans will see to it that
our CEOs are heaped with garlands of GOLD and lifted onto the golden
Palanquins to honour them, but only if they will work for Goa's upliftment
through rigours of self-sacrifice and diligent hard work.
And last but not the least, let us thank Shri. Ram Manohar Lohia for giving
us this 64th. Goa Revolution Day to celebrate with our lead filled eyes
cleared and fully open to the fact that 'to keep our freedom, we must not
only kick out the foreigners and outsiders who have invaded us to kingdom
come but also kick our very own cheating and robbing fellow Goan Alibabas
into a burning and churning HELL.

Wishes every Goan on this auspicious 64th. Goa Revolution Day.
Prevailing Socio-Economic-Political n Demographic trends demand that Goa
has a second 'revolution', this time to throw out the insensitive; bad;
corrupted; self-serving Politics and Governance.
Goa's Opinion Poll No.1 -1967 stopped Goa's merger into Maharashtra. Not
enough! Goa needs Opinion Poll No.2 -2012 [as suggested by Dr. Hubert
Gomes of Margao on HCN] to stop backdoor SALE of Goa and importantly, to
attain 'SPECIAL STATUS FOR GOA'- which was promised 49 long years ago and
still dangling.
Who else better suited to lead this revolution than this 'Revolutionary GOA
SU-RAJ PARTY??? So that you may know n understand the Party better, daily
Power Point Presentations shall be held at Party premises between 10.30 am
and 12.30 pm and on request. Pernem to Cancona Party membership opens in
order to facilitate setting up of Constituency level Party Organizations.
Be the 'COG-IN -THE-WHEEL ' of this most important REVOLUTION. The
Message - "At Election times we field the unique and unparalled 'System of
Governance' ; NOT 'Candidates' "
