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.
