Congress Election rally at Fatorda, Margao on 25th Feb 2012 Very interesting post from Joe GoaUk. My replies interspersed between all the questions/comments from the original post.
?Bonddolam? *Construction of bridges in 6 months? Each pilar itself take 3 months for curing..* If one pillar takes three months for curing, how many months does it take for curing of several pillars? Howmany days does it take to build a road over these pillars? Answers on a post card please. *Rs.1 lac for a girl child when she is 18? What guarantee is there the Govt. will rule 4 terms?* To my knowledge a scheme named under the first chief minister of Goa, Dayanand Bandodker was passed in the assembly by a BJP government. It is still in operation while BJP is out of power. Now, even the Kangress manifesto promises to increase the grant under that scheme from Rs 1000 to Rs 2500 per month. It is therefore not necessary for the same government to survive four terms. They can pass a law and subsequent governments might no be able to reverse it for fear of public backlash *Party with the difference?? What the 3 ministers watching on their mobile in the temple of Democracy in Karnataka?* Yes, they were caught and quite rightly suspended by the BJP immediately. Can Joe Uk tell us what action has been taken against Digvijay Singh who was caught on NDTV camera kicking a media person or the union minister who was filmed by NDTV assaulting Samajwadi party workers in UP? * There was a question in ?kon Banega Crorepati?.. Heh Hindustan ka konsa ?National Party president ko rishvat letey huye ?Direct? pakdda gaya?* It is true that the president of the BJP was caught on camera taking a bribe. A despicable act to be denounced in the strongest possible terms. Where is he today? Banished from the top echelons of the party. The hypocrisy is that Sheila Dixit, indicted by Shunglu Commission for her involvement in a scam worth crores has the gall to come to Goa and give Goans a lecture on corruption by the BJP. The president of the Kangress party, on the other hand, will never be caught on camera taking bribes. She does not need bribes. She controlled a property empire in Delhi worth a thousand crores in the 80s Ref: India today) thanks to the industry and hard work of her family. Now, even her son in law is a 'self/ mother in law' made billionaire. Why would she need to take bribes? Just a couple of days back, Maharashtra times revealed that for two consecutive years, a lawyer from Chennai has been asking her to produce Income tax returns but apparently she can not do so for security reasons. This is hypocrisy. When Kangress govt of Delhi was involved in a scam worth RS 80000 crores in CWG, when a Kangree government miniisters have been involbved in a2G spectrun scam worth Rs. 176000 crores and Kangress government in Goa is involved in mining scam worth Rs 25000 crores, all JGK can see is an Ex-president of the BJP accepting some five lakh rupees. Hypocrisy indeed! *Talking about mining? Who gave upto five tickets to those who are into mining business?* If they have been involved in illegal mining, they would be punished oncew found guilty. I cannot believe that a Goan would ask this question. Illegal and legal mining has devastated Goa's environment during the last. Kangress CM and at least one minister have been involved directly in such mining activities. Is it not hypocritical that these facts should not even be mentioned. One Kangress MLA, for example has amassed a wealth of over 20 crores in five years on the back iron ore transportation. Lastly, it would have been less hypocritical of JoeGoa Uk if he had posted some photographs showing Goanetters all the buses,trucks and SUVs that had specially come to Fatorda with Karnataka and Maharashtra registration numbers specially to see Soniaji . Wonder what was the going rate per person to attend!! This is link to another scam that BJP govt minister was accused of by Kangress. http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/Coffin+scam:+Fernandes+seeks+Cong+apology/1/58206.html Now will he tell us whay equation applies to his beloved Kangress?
