CONGRESS-NCP, BJP AND NIZGOENKAR by P. Cruz, Vasco Da Gama

I am happy and proud to be a part of Nizgoenkar and to fight against corruption is our goal. The question comes to my mind could we liberate Goa for second time from the corrupt politicians? We have two main National Party which ruled Goa and everyone is aware of the corruption they have created.

In my opinion the Congress-NCP has crossed the limits and they do not deserve to be voted in power again. At least BJP is not much corrupted compared to Congress-NCP Reign only leaving the issues of communalism which we can see in other state.

As for me being a Nizgoenkar our idea to put up 40 candidates in Goa is a hurricane task as only 2 years are left for the assembly election or if the Cong-NCP fight with each may we will have the election within six months if the assembly is dissolved. My question to me and to the Nizgoenkar is are we ready and organized to fight the election may be after 6 months or after 2 years? I think certainly not after 6 months or after one year also.

The reason behind are, we are not yet organized and we do not have committees even temporary committee or party which has an office and the office bearers in Goa. Are we going to support independent candidates or we will fight as independent candidates? No we cannot do that, people do not vote for independent candidate as per my assessment. The independent candidate is favorable to Salgaocars, Rane’s , Alemao’s, Monseratte as they speak by means of money. So, my question is when we will create our own party to be called our own?

The party where hindus-muslim-christians of Goa will unite and fight against the bad elements. The other questions comes to my mind are we going to leave out the people who are acting as chamchas to the politicians at present? We are Goans and every goans have right to join nizgoenkar unless and until he gives up corruption and accepts his mistakes and also being a true nizgoenkar forever. We cannot say no as everyone makes mistakes and we cannot keep them out if they want to join us as we require them to fight against the deeds what they were doing before, this will give us more experience and good knowledge. There should be no description of sex, caste, religion, age, etc within the nizgoenkars. Everyone is equal and every one has the right to express his opinions.

Talking about the Goan police who are corrupt and you cannot trust them. When they come out of the womb they did not learn corruption they were taught by the politicians. First lesson of corruption they received when they paid money for their Khaki dress to the politicians. They are not corrupt but the government machinery and functioning made them corrupt and also the fear within themselves of loosing the job.

Are we going to replace the entire police force? No! We cannot do that we cannot replace the entire police force! We have to try and win their hearts and confidence. If we form a new party are we going to make an impact on the people? Well that’s a doubt if yes or no, since according to my assumption the people who come on the nizgoenkar site are mostly over 30 years old, who are wise and think about the future of Goa. Maybe almost few people of below 30 years come to visit our site, and the rest young generation of Goa waste their time surfing for fantasy of the world.

During my holidays I was having lot of group discussion and educating the people about nizgoenkars, most of the elderly people have committed to it and the main problem is most of the people do not have net at home even some of them never operated computers. So I have to take some copies and submit them of the articles. How long we can do that the time limit is less, how we can educate the entire Goa who do not have surfing facility on the net. So we require developing a programme for this as to wake up the masses.

Contesting the election is challenging, last time the budget for Benaulim seat went to almost one crore. We will not be corrupt to pay for the voters but we also require some money for other things. We have to prepare ourselves otherwise we will be nowhere and when we will start preparation? I admire lot of people visit our site but we do not know whether they are in Goa or Abroad and if they are abroad are they available at the time of elections? As for me elections cannot be fought from home, we require canvassing, we require people to come out and start doing the party work. We require a complete plan to come out and win the peoples heart.

Other things like we require lawyers for helping us with the provision of rules of the laws, as this will not be easy when the opposition have goondas and government machinery behind them. To come out and contest my views are we can form an alliance with BJP and set up the rules and regulations for the alliance. We should not fear about hurting the minority as if they try to act smart then we will withdraw the support. At least for the next assembly we can put our candidate for 10 constituencies with alliance on BJP and give the rest to them. If we win 3-5 seats from the alliance then we can rock the assembly. See when Churchill made SGF he won 2 seats and can’t we win at least 3-5 seats? It is possible if we try and show them impact on our first appearance.

We can use BJP as a tool to wipe out the snakes and later we can grow large. We can ask them the seats for Benaulim, Navelim, Lotoulim, Cortalim, Dabolim, Vasco, San Andre, Margao, Cuncolim, Cancona, Taleigao where lot of minority base is there and for rest we can support them. If we win and form the government with BJP then we can stand for our ideology and never compromise on it. Look before BJP was national party, during its first entry it took help of MGP, so now tell me where is MGP? My point is we been commenting and writing but we do not have even one candidate for the election, so where we are standing? We have to look forward and plan how to tackle things. We just do not go there and get ourselves lost; we should not underestimate the opposition. So, we require to sit around the table and plan our strategies. This is the time to tackle it or if we wait then we will lose the ground.

Note: All Nizgoenkars these are only my views and suggestion, everyone is welcome with your views and suggestion.
