Ribandar is relieved that the Casino Deltin Caravela has been moved out today from Ribandar. The people of Ribandar are very grateful for the kind intervention of Goa Governor Mridula Sinha, Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar, MLAs Rohan Khaunte, Pandurang Madkaikar, Sidharth Kuncolienkar and the local Corporator Rupesh Halankar.
We must also compliment the Captain of Ports James Branganza and his team for all their assistance. We need to commend the people of Ribandar for having stood unitedly in opposing the Casino which was an environmental hazard and a nuisance to the local fisherman. We are also thankful to the people of the neighbouring villages for all their support on the issue. There is a need to drive away all the Casinos from Goa. The BJP which had vociferously opposed Casinos while in the Opposition must stop promoting, shielding and further increasing the number of Casinos under the guise of promoting Tourism. Earlier the Congress and now the BJP are feasting and making merry with the abundant kickbacks flowing from the Casinos. It is very anguishing that the once Paradise of the East, Goa has now sadly become the country’s gambling hub with the allied vices of Prostitution and the Narcotics trade also flourishing while the Crime rate is also on a steep rise. It is a matter of great concern that the football team FC Goa has been now taken over by the Casino Tycoon Jaydev Mody whose treacherous Casinos have already done irreparable damage to Goa. Goans need to boycott FC Goa as long as the team is in the devious captivity of Jaydev Mody.
