POLITICIANS MISGUIDING PEOPLE by Freddy Agnelo Fernandes, Dubai

It’s been a week since Goa witnessed the darkest day in it’s history, a supposedly peaceful rally turned into a war zone where two vibrant young men lost their lives. In a week that followed, we saw one aging bureaucrat knocked off his perch and assurances that the guilty will be punished. Assurances from politicians and more so from the CM do not mean anything to Goans nor do they trill Goans anymore.
We can only hope that some day the guilty will be convicted, but looking at the track record of the Goan administration, it looks highly unlikely but still we can only hope and pray.
It is about 65 years since India gained it’s freedom from the British and about 50 years since Goa’s so called liberation but still we have not freed ourselves of the “taboos” of caste, creed and religious fundamentalism. It makes me wonder if we will ever be able to get rid of these social stigmas and dogmas.
All over the world people have gained equality in all spheres of life, so much so that even the much prevailing gender biases have been wiped off in most western and eastern countries, but in India we are totally in a deferent time zone, even today we are fighting hard to be declared unprivileged or underprivileged so that we can take advantage of the pathetic draconian system that is more apartheid than what prevailed in South Africa.
Prakash Velip’s bio-data is really impressive, from a panch to educationist to MLA to minister to chairman of a whole lot of bodies and institutions. It’s amazing what this person has achieved with his sheer dedication and hard work and today he is fighting for the cause of his fellow underprivileged tribal brethren, demanding more representation, better education, more jobs and better social privileges for his people. All fair demands for the downtrodden but what really astonishes me is, what can Prakash Velip achieve now, when he is no more in power, that he could not achieve when he was a power house, during the MGP and the BJP rule, he was a member of the ruling party for three to four terms ? He was a minister and he was and is the president of the underprivileged community body. Couldn’t he have done all this when he was in power but why now?
Now with the elections round the corner every aspiring and out of power veteran politician will be pumping and thumping, instigating the poor and the gullible Goans, misguiding them to further their own personal agendas. The two youngsters have been sacrificed in a political game. In all probability it looks like the two youngsters being activists were targeted and attacked when an opportunity was created or provided at the rally, as both were also anti mining activists. A lot of people from that area are involved in mining directly or indirectly. The tribal people have already lost to young vibrant men and at what cost?
Goa prides it’s self of being one of the most tolerant and literate state in India, but we fail to justify that claim as we have fallen prey to our manipulative conniving politicians communal agendas and sold our precious votes to hoodlums, gangsters, drug dealers, molesters, murders and “scamsters” who have destroyed Goa for personal gains.
I pray to every Goan, literate or otherwise, please do not fall prey to the gruesome agendas of our corrupt conniving politicians, present or ex, let us value our lives and not let these loathsome politicians use us to further their own repressive agendas. Let not our greed sacrifice our wisdom and our heart at the alter of the ballot. There is absolutely no difference between wisdom and folly, if it’s not utilized befittingly for the good of our land and our fellow brethren. It is said that God helps those who help themselves if not we are a lost cause. Let’s use our wisdom and elect worthy people in future.
God bless Goa

  2. When the serious incidents take place, our chor and useless politicians promises everything  without any concrete solutions. What happen to the murderers police who killed Cipriano? The staements  are just eyewashes to fool the people. Our chor politicians have already crossed the line and it is the duty of each and every Goans to chop-off their heads or the future of our children will go to dogs.

  4. To be politicians have now turned their sights on inaugrating public toilets. Two toilets were inaugrated yesterday at colva beach by Goa's "Big Lips". Seen of todays herald are some chamchas standing along with her. Has the pig of varca done anything about the stinking creek at colva beach.This is just to fool people because of the forthcoming elections.

    Inaugurating toilets has become a trend among Goan politicians, ever see them inaugurate septic tanks? Somebody should have dumped the Big Lips of Varca in   Colva's stinking creek.

    Hi Gurudas:
    There is a saying "idle minds are the devils workshop".
    So as you can see & say,Valanka has been sucked into this way of life of cheap publicity.
    She does not realise she has become the "laughing stock" of all educated Goans, all over the world.
    Cleaning the toilets she has innaugurated would be some good Social Work.
    The Ghantis will make her their queen.She could also be granted the title "BONGI QUEEN".
    P.S - I learnt this word" Bongi"  from Shyam Sawant an NG veteran.

    Gobor: Valanka is "not a person in her own right".
    She feeds off her dirty fathers reputation.
    She is where she is beacuse of MONEY.
    WIthout money (stolen from Goans) , she is a nobody.
    But have patience.Like all dictators and autocrats & fakes, their time will come.
    Look what happened to Shashikala Kakodar and Uday Bhembre.
    Their "Tins" are now empty.....and a lot of Marathi  "NOISE " comes out of it.
    I have heard and read that Calvert Gonsalves,the producer of the imfamous "Dogui Bodmas" cd, that got him in hot soup & trouble, is now licking the arse of Churchill & his clan for support.Being in their (Churchills) company and clan makes him feel self important, self influential and a schemer.(calculating punk).
    According to Locals & rumour  in the area, and those that know the Churchills well, Calvert is now flattering and promotimg Valanka.No doubt Calvert has a "BONE TO PICK" with Micky Pacheco.But if this is his way of being vindictive, he is no more than a sadist and certainly not a man.Dignity would have been better.Teasing is for kids.
    Perhaps he is trying to tease Mickky.But what is the difference between Mickky & Churchill.
    I can assure Calvert there are no differences.Both are well known GOAN CRIMINALS, and perhaps he wants their reputation  and to be a part of it ,too.
