Mauvin will ask his ghanttis from Zuarinagar and ''jinga mami sarpanch'' to get truckloads of more Ghanttis from his "native" Karnataka. This idiot is the King of Ghanttis and one of the most corrupt ministers and most anti-Goan of all Congress ministers. He has to be kicked out this time. MATANHY SALDANHA is the only answer to save the Port town belt from being over-run by GHANTTIS. Vasco, Dabolim is already finished and if we have to save Cortalim,Chicalim,Velaso then people like Mauvin MUST be finished politically. Don't fall for the pro-goan noises that he is making of late. This is the same Mauvin who was supporting shipyard builders against locals in the recent past. Same Mauvin who looted the electricity dept of crores of rupees by giving illegal power connections to steel mills and was also thus responsible for getting these polluting industries and thousands of Ghantti workers to work there. He was bailed out by the other big looter Parrikar due to political compulsions after deservingly nailing him in the first place
ReplyDeleteCome-on Goans don't fall for Mauvin's election time gimmicks, biryani, beers, text-books, footballs,bats, donations for tiatrs,go-ahead for illegal constructions etc. He will win at your cost and sell whatever is left of Goa to GHANTTIS. Don't become prostitutes and sell your votes. PLEASE for the sake of your children's future. They will curse you as they will be rendered strangers in their own land. Where will they GO??? PLEASE THINK NOW IF YOU LOVE YOUR CHILDREN.
Mathany will not give you any of the things mentioned above HE WILL STRUGGLE TILL THE END to protect the interests of GOA and GOANS, that is for sure.

We MUST ELECT HIM and kick traitors like Mauvin,CHORCHILL,Kumpar Luisinho, motor-pilots and most of the corrupt and illiterate Congress and BJP MLAs into the gutters.
