special status to Goa
Special
status is a mirage according to the present CM but for a son of the soil it is the right he
is fighting for. The late Mathany's dream of securing our beautiful Goa for the
next generations to come is shuttered by these views of our CM and his party at
the center and state in general. It was the late Mathany saldhanha who was instrumental
in getting the catholic voters change their views about the BJP. He would
fiercely propagate the saffron brand when on stage during the campaigning of
2012 Even knowing very well that there is no mention special status to Goa in their manifesto. Late Mathany supported the BJP. He had said, "It is not put
because it is not under the purview of the state government. but it is a
central government issue." He was of the opinion that the BJP high command
has already approved the demand for special status. " I am there and my
fight for special status is permanent." were his words on the issue. Things would have been different if he was around.
The trust he showed in his political friend since 2002 just vanished after his
sad demise. Time
has flown by from that “Ajeeb hain yeh Goa ke log” in 1961, to" naya nazaria a swagat yog
nazaria goa ke lok mage special status to protect Goan Identity, goan culture
and environment in 2014. Mrs
saldhana did not get the desired respect she should have got for being
the widow of a person who had gone all out in getting the saffron party
elected. Now that she has taken up the late crusaders causes. People should
show support and solidarity to her and all those niz Goancars who are in favour of this noble cause of protecting
Goa for the future generations to come.

Wakeup call for
Congress
Kudos to the Sunday editorial where in the realism and the
sentiments of the betrayed Goan are highlighted. It is indeed a eye
opener for the Congress. The mood of the people is to go with the Goa Forward a
regional outfit and with Mr Sardesai who single-handedly raised issues
pertaining to Goa and it's people in the assembly when the opposition
MLAs were least bothered or busy with court cases and other things of
their interest.
In fact the people of Goa has seen the Congress
striking deals with the BJP in the earlier elections and might have done the
same in the forthcoming election too to split the votes and get BJP back to
power even in this anti-incumbency . The old Congress men are too old to give
any fight at this old age and are happy to relax in their chairs sitting in the
opposition without a fight.
But this 2017 election will see the age old party scoreless if
they instead of playing the big brother to Goa Forward and other like-minded
parties don’t form a grand alliance with them and win the election like
they did in Bihar, the people of Goa will not forgive them. Respect the
sentiments of the people, regional outfit is the need of the hour and not the
high command which too has their malafide intentions for us Goan.
Let Reginald take the call as he is a bold leader very vocal on
Goan issues. They had a best opportunity to prove this in the Panjim municipal
election were they have entered to split the votes to bring back the BP panel
to power. Be selfless in your quest to power not selfish as you were all this
years.

Congress
must act now
It looks like the Congress
is out to take advantage of the situation in Goa against the BJP. In a jittery
move the BJP sent out their minority leaders to address press conferences where
a straight forward leader like Mr Lobo was searching for words to convince how
the religious intolerance has not reached Goa. Saying so does he not show
any remorse to the increased incidents of atrocities committed against
all minorities in the whole of india since the BJP came to power at the Centre.
These major central parties are far from understanding the sentiments of Goa
and Goans. It will be good if the Congress joins the local regional parties and
form an alliance rather then playing the big brother who will only play the
role of dividing the votes and getting the BJP enter through the back door. BJP
too will get in their freebies ready like the legislation of illegal houses
which is indeed a game changer acknowledged by the prospective BJP candidate from
Dabolim. Giving away precious communidade land to the migrants as if the land
belongs to the ministers forefathers and was kept not for the Goa’s
future generations but for these self centred politicians to create outsiders
vote bank. It will surely be a game changer to him and all those who want power
at the cost of our beautiful Goa. Daré these ministers to buy the land from the
communidades at market rate and then give it free to the migrants and get votes
in return. All these issues will be better addressed by local parties then the
central parties. A strong group of local parties is a need of the hour
and let congress support such a party and work along with the dispension to
earn the trust of the Goan populace.
