Is it a compulsion to invite Goan Politicians for any function by Goans around the world? I am sure the answer is no. So why invite them, can any one tell me of one Goan politician in the present Vidhan Sabha who is not corrupt or not supporting the other corrupt politicians or not supporting the degradation of Goa, for a share of the spoils and well being? If there exists even one he deserves all our adulation.
Chief guests or guests of honour should be role models with impeccable records and character so that other who are present at the function may look up to them for inspiration. Why not invite some educationists, intellectuals, literary figures, credible social workers, environmentalists or even some of our highly regarded priests or other religious figures, who said it has to be only politicians?
As I see things, I know I am not wrong, I strongly feel those who invite these corrupt politicians, want to score some brownie points against their names and be in good books with the politicians, so that they can use them to legalize a few of their illegalities or get their other work done, when they go back home. Then there are some others, who are natural born politicians bootlickers who just can’t help but keep on licking their boots. For all those who think that they can make use of these corrupt politicians once in Goa, just forget it, they will not even entertain you unless you offer them a bag full of notes.I know of one person, at whose house two relatives who are now ministers use to frequently visit, he used to entertain them at his cost not just at his home but overseas too where he use to work, whenever they visited. One day the man asked one of the same ministers to help him to get admission for his son in a professional college, even though the boy had a very good percentage the minister told the father that he’ll have to shell out a lot of cash for his son’s admission. This is what our politicians are, fortunately the boy got admission in a professional college but in a different faculty.
In Konkanni there is an adage “hanv maka ani Dev peleak” as far as the politicians are concerned they work for themselves and leave others to God. Watch out all you Goans who want to score brownie points with our Goans politicians, you all will be disappointed and don’t regret later and if you are bootlickers, continue doing so till your tongue wears out and I assure you, even then you’ll be expected to continue and if you stop your backside will be kicked to kingdom come.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you !!!
