Beware of BJP by Jose Maria Miranda, Margao
There are reports that the BJP is wooing the minorities. It would not be difficult, as the ruling coalition, by its lack of governance, corruption and infighting, seems to be handing over the next government to them on a platter.
But let us not forget that while giving us a fairly efficient administration, the BJP also gave a communal, despotic and aggressive governance, with attempts by its leader to even gag the Press. While people are surely frustrated with the present government, not only the minorities but even broad-minded people from the majority community will certainly not see the BJP as an option.

BJP and minorities by Samir Khan, Mapuca
The news item ‘BJP to tap minority vote to boost base’ (Herald, 23 August) says that BJP Goa desk-in-charge Arti Mehra will interact with the minorities to remove the tag of the BJP being a communal party. Can a leopard change its spots? Can the Sangh Parivar give up Hindutva? The BJP is running short of ideas after it realised that it cannot, any more, use the Ram Mandir plank for votes. The hands of BJP and the Sangh Parivar are drenched in the blood of Muslims, Christians and Dalits. The demolition of the Babri Masjid, the Gujarat genocide, the burning alive of missionary Graham Staines and his two little sons by Bajrang Dal activists, Orissa’s anti-Christian Kandhamal riots; all are still fresh in the mind.
Manohar Parrikar and his brigade have left no stone unturned to pollute the peaceful atmosphere of Goa. If the BJP is voted back to power, its first and immediate target will be the minorities. Minorities and seculars
If one looks at the disasters around the world, the victims don't care where the aid comes from be it the enemy.
ReplyDeleteThe situation is such in Goa that the opposition is gaining mileage, due to congress bad governance. The citizens of Goa need the change but who will lead them? Goan youth need to wake up and take hold of what's left, If the educated youngsters join politics they have a better chance of governing Goa. There must be a law introduced against political Gundas, that intimidate the innocent Goans into voting for them.
Its high time educated Goans come together and form a regional Party to safeguard the interest of Goans. Speaking to a cross sections whether Catholics or Hindus I get the impression that our aspirations are the same. We all aspire to continue with our life of hard work, good values and contentment. We were divided earlier as Kokaniwadi's and Marathiwadi's . But now we find that both are threatened by non-Goans. We Goans irrespective of our religion should come together to bring regional party to power.
