Thanks to Father 

of Opinion poll

Thank you to all those who had voted in favour of retaining Goa for the Goans. Jan 16, 1967, is the day when people of all walks of life came out and voted for the Goa that we as the new generation has inherited from our elders. Thanks to the father of Opinion Poll Late Dr Jack De Sequeira who  although being in the Opposition had the courage to stop something of this magnitude successfully and keep our little Goa to his fellow Goa's future generations. 

Nowadays it is considered not worthy to seat in the Opposition and fight for people-centric issues but rather side with the ruling in the name of development of the constituency and their own self. They forget that they are elected by the people for a purpose and when they win they forget about their agenda and the long speeches they gave during elections. They only see the green grass in the ruling party's lawn. 

Coming back to the legend Dr Jack Sequeira he was a true son of the soil. He did not try to flourish his political future but the future of Goan generations to come. The legacy of Dr Jack Sequeira cannot be hijacked by any politician of today by just putting up picture of himself with the legend. 

The politician's actions will judge the real Goenkar in him by standing shoulder to shoulder with the laymen on the street trying to draw the attention of the lawmakers how our rivers our land and our self employment of the natives are at stake due to a few political decisions of the govt. in coercing with the central govt.

The Editor

Thank you to all those who had voted in favour of retaining Goa for the Goans.16th Jan 1967, was the day when people of all walks of life came out and voted for the Goa that we as the new generation has inherited from our elders. Thanks to the father of Opinion Poll Late Dr. Jack De Sequeira who  although being in the opposition had the courage to stop something of this magnitude successfully and keep our little Goa to his fellow Goa's future generations. Nowadays it is considered not worthy to seat in the opposition and fight for people centric issues but rather side with the ruling in the name of development of the constituency and their own self. They forget that they are elected by the people for a purpose and when they win they forget about their agenda and the long speeches they gave during elections . They only see the green grass in the ruling party's lawn. Coming back to the legend Dr. Jack Sequira He was a true son of the soil. He did not try to flourish his political future but the future of Goan generations to come. Goa forwards was one party who people had put their faith in to protect  Goa  but the day they joined the NDA they have become the slaves of the Delhi Masters and will remain loyal to them for the years to come. The legacy of Dr. Jack Sequira cannot be hijacked by any politician of today by just putting up picture of himself with the legend. The politician's actions will judge the real Goenkar in him by standing shoulder to shoulder with the laymen on the street trying to draw the attention of the lawmakers how our rivers our land and our self employment of the natives are at stake due to a few political decisions of the govt. in coercing with the central govt. Congratulations to the lay people led by Mrs Rosy Marie who has shown the way that all selfless true Goans will always fight to protect Goa from being put out on sale in the name of Development just like Dr. Jack Sequira whom we salute him on this day for keeping Goa to us.
