If there were any awards for the U-turns made on promises then the BJP Govt both at the centre and state would get the awards hands down. For the argument sake, referring to Goa CM statement I am writing this email to register my protest for not reducing VAT on petrol as promised. It is ironical that the Goa CM wants people to protest in order to fulfill his own promise. Secondly if our Goa CM is so responsive to the protest of the people of Goa then why is he bulldozing over peoples protests, may it be Mopa airport, villagers of Tiracol village against Leading Hotels.
There was a public opinion asked regarding the use of helmet on village and city roads for which April 20, 2015 was the last day for receiving suggestions for which I had given my suggestion opposing the government move. What is the outcome of that exercise, one month has passed. Goa CM has to answer to the people of Goa. Beware, Goans are well awake.

Hike in petrol price
This is with in regards to Parsekar’s statement, that people are not insisting to reduce the rate of petrol. I would like to ask Parsekar whether he has visited every household to know the concern of the people or whether they are satisfied with his policies, or if he is following Parrikar’s footsteps as his remote control. If you visit and have meetings with people of Goa, you will come to know the true story and if people are happy with your policies.
I would like to remind Parsekar about the speech given in Assembly that petrol rate will be taken care of and reduce the rate of petrol once it touches Rs 60, so this was only to be kept in books and not to apply practically, is it Mr Parsekar? I would like to request Parsekar to reduce the rate of petrol as soon as possible and to frame policies which will benefit the common man and the poor and do not give excuse of mining closure. You are the CM and you should find ways to generate income for the government or else people will loose faith in your BJP government.

Keep a check on ISIS
It has been reported that the militants of Islamic State (ISIS) are spreading its vicious dragnet all over the world and transcending its roots deeply as the most explosive Islamic group in the modern world. It has captured vast swathes of land in Syria and Iraq and got control over/secured many important and money-fetching rich oil fields in the captured areas.
The ISIS posses the captured/seized arms & ammunitions, tanks, rocket launchers, missile systems , anti-aircraft systems and now intents to buy ‘Nukes’ (Nuclear warheads) from Pakistan through the weapons’ dealers who have secret liaison with the alleged concerned corrupt officials and their (ISIS) target to buy it, is within 12 months, hence.
ISIS is well funded organization and have thousands of billions of dollars in the banks, some of which have been obtained through extortion, and taxing people in the captured areas. Also they get money by selling artifacts looted & seized in historic areas during insurgency. Further, it is stated here that the most barbaric and the cruelest militant Islamic group Boko Haram from Nigeria is also joining ISIS and pledged its allegiance, uniting across the Middle East, Africa and Asia to create one global movement in unison.
The intention of the ISIS is highly dangerous and it is the biggest threat to the world. The United Nations and it’s group of BIG 5 should take a notice of it, immediately and plan strategy to bring curb on obtaining ‘ Nukes ‘ by the ISIA from Pakistan.

Goa needs good leaders
To pull Goa from doom seriously and absolutely Goa needs good leaders. The leader should or must be like the server of the operating system for giving proper commands, who really works for the betterment of the people & State. A true leader gains his reputation automatically by his / her works not only by speeches. Need a person who will be selfless and lucrative for the society.
