The time the BJP government has come to power in Goa, the cost of living has gone so high that life has become totally miserable for our “aam Goans” due to the imposition of so many harsh taxes by this government. To sustain its own numerous stupid schemes, the Laxmikant Parsekar-led BJP government through its latest budget has again decided to hike almost everything, from petrol to water bills.
Forget vegetables, even buying fish has become like a big curse today as prices of the same have skyrocketed. Of late, we are also deprived of our favourite beef as a NGO group is being deliberately allowed to harass all beef traders/ suppliers based on flimsy arguments in Goa. Well, looks like the BJP government is currently secretly hell-bent on working with the said NGO group to bring about a total ban on the supply of beef and to starve minorities by playing “Cow” politics at the behest of its Sangh Parivar Groups in Goa. Otherwise, why is the same government still acting like a mute spectator and not solving this serious problem.
The people from the interior villages are already facing an unsure future due to the past gimmicks of this very same government which had once gone misusing the word ‘illegal-mining’ for its own political mileage during the last assembly elections and which later resulted in the complete halt in all mining activities in Goa. Today, the same government says that it now wants to do almost everything to bring in that extra revenue for the state which it has lost due to the suspension of all mining activities since the last 3 years. Well, taxing the rich and powerful is fine but why should the BJP government hit the ‘aam-Goans’ below the belt by coming out with multiple harsh taxes through such stupid budgets in Goa?
It should be noted that the same government had come to power during the last Assembly elections promising the sky for Goans but today is practically seen not just extorting the pockets of ‘aam-Goenkars’ from all sides but dreaming of Talibanizing even government departments by imposing unwanted things like dress codes on all the employees. This clearly shows that the BJP government is currently officially out not to give ‘ache-din’ but ‘Bhure-din’ or bad days for Goans.
