Oh my Beautiful Goa

Santano Maxie Lucas

Presently Goa is passing through a crucial phase and it’s a big litmus test for all of us staying in Goa. A test to decide the future of our children. A test for the betterment of Goa, and a test to salvage our Goenkarponn presently which is in danger. 

For the last 5 or 10 years we were just talking about saving our Goa by fighting lots of social movements with our own elected people. But now its our time to decide. Every time we hear only one thing from our Goan people. These ministers are all corrupt. They all have finished our beautiful Goa. But its time for us to show that we really love and care for our Goa. A Goa which has given me and you a peaceful place to live. A Goa who made me a doctor, a engineer and a businessman in profession. And in return what you and me have given to Goa? Corrupt leaders to rule and rape Goa? 

A deserted Goan became an outsider in his own home land. This is what all Goans have given to Goa. Goa is asking each one of you if you cannot give good leaders then don’t send atleast corrupt leaders to rule me. But the big question to every Goan at this point is whom to select? To select a party or to give a vote to an individual? A party which is corrupt in all forms. A party which is only working to be in power? A party which comprises all its ideology for the sake of power?

 If you talk in terms of any individual not even single individual in the election fray wants to keep its promise they made before the election. And the reason to shift the party, they give as for development of the constituency which is all bullshit. 

So I, the common man of Goa is really confused as to who to give the vote. I don’t want to take any money from any person because I think whatever God has given me and my family is just enough to live and I am very happy to be what I am. I want to do whatever I can do to our Goa but I don’t know what to do. Right now, I am confused as all are confused. Tell me Goa, whom to give a vote and which party to bring to power. Common man is confused. Oh Goa please tell us. Give us a choice Goa. If you want us to save you, than please give a choice. Give us a true son of Goa who has the ability to take you forward without disturbing your natural beauty. A true son who has a true vision for Goa. A true son who can take along all Goans for their all round development. A true son irrespective of religion, caste, community who has a will power to do the work, who is not selfish, not corrupt never comprises his principles. 

A common Goan man is asking you Goa, why haven’t you given us a true Goan? If you have given then why not they are coming in public to handle the administration of Goa? Till Goa you will not give us true Goan you will be always run by corrupt people and your children will be crying. Today Goans are forced to say that we want to change the destiny of Goa but we don’t have choice and it is You Goa who has not given us the choice.
