To all those of you who have lived in Goa for 30 years and feel that you are well on your way to becoming “sons of the soil” remember that politicians giving you this ‘Bhumiputra’ prize are only going to dance for your votes. The bill, according to many experts, has severe shortcoming and will face a tough legal challenge.
The reason why one is saying this is that people of outside Goa are welcome here. They have the right to stay here as per the laws of the country. But those who come and live here must know that many MLAs are behind the bhumi-putra bill and will try to benefit for the sole purpose of getting their votes. These votes often go in bulk in favour of a particular candidate, irrespective of which party he or she is from.
They will dance at your festivals, pray with you, clap at your festivals, but think of only their future
Would you like to be fooled? And you don’t need to be. There are laws and schemes which can give benefits to all those who live here for long. Politicians will attend your functions, your weddings and their celebrations and merrily dance there to show they are one with you. But they want only your votes.
What is needed is for each Goan to educate others on what kind of governance do we need, a people’s governance ruled by those who have the interests of Goa at heart
Those educated and aware should be able to talk to others who are unaware of what is the truth and the reality of how we should vote and how we should choose the right candidates.
It is the moral duty of each and every educated person to mobilise at least fifty people. To understand how to choose a People’s Government & what it will do for you
There are those who need to know how we must choose well to have a People’s Government. And once a People’s Government is formed each one will benefit. And benefits will come to your doorstep as per the system. You will get your dues. Proper mining of mineral resources, WHICH BELONG TO YOU, by the Mining Corporation will get you returns. The recovery from illegal mining once fully done will get lakhs into your account
A People’s Government will give you top-class health care with no worry of overcharging
You will get proper health care where every person will be entitled to proper medical care and hospitalisation of the best standards without worrying about bills that give you heart attacks
The best education for all and admissions to top institutions with opportunity for all
No enterprising person will be denied education right at any stage and will get the best facilities to pursue it
Everyone will be self-sufficient
Skill sets will be developed, locals and local businesses will be promoted and everyone will have the capacity to have enough and be self-sufficient.
These are just some of the important ones. And the benefits will be plenty.
The most important start to a People’s Government should be People’s responsibility and the duty to spread the word, to educate, to positively influence so that everyone knows and nobody is fooled by any dancing, or clapping or clever schemes.
