It is said that people get the government
they elect and this has come true. Benaulim constituents that is voters of
Colva, Seraulim, Benaulim, Varca, Orlim, Carmona and Cavelossim. All of them on
4th February 2017 rejected Caetano Silva as he had supported the BJP
for the last 5 years against the wishes of the people and again put their trust
in Churchill and he did what he is best at betrayed his voters for 30 pieces of
silver the very next day.
As recently as 30th Jan 2017 at
Churchill public rally, advocate Radharao Gracias was addressing the people on
his platform and urging them to vote consciously for Alemao. He advised the
thousands of voters who were ferried to the venue that when Churchill is voted
all the decisions on their behalf will be that of their representative even if
he decides to support the BJP. Churchill interrupted, grabbed the mike from
Radharao’s hand and promised the people of Benaulim that even if they ask him
to support the BJP he will not do so. But a day later after getting elected he
extended his support to the party that the Benaulim people had rejected.

It is the betrayal of all the 9373 voters who
had cast their franchise in his favour even though he was arrested for
corruption in the Louis Berger case. The BJP had thrown this turn-coat behind
the bars and today he is supporting the same party.
Hence, for the man called Churchill Alemao,
politics is not about development or helping the people as he says. But it is
to earn his bread and butter as that is his only source of income. And for his
family he is the sole bread winner.
Of the 9373 voters who have accepted his
ill-gotten money to vote for him will not feel the betrayal but those who
genuine voters who gave a new lease of life to him are the people feeling
completely let down.
Vijay's letter of support to BJP |
Of course there is lesson to be learnt from
this. When there was choice or rather an option during this elections in
Congress new face and AAP but those who still preferred Churchill should not
have anything to complain.
Churchill's resolution to carry out his will. |
At the same time this party hopper from Varca
is humilitated by BJP. He was not even given a cabinet berth and will now be
leaking his wounds. He must now be devising ways of breaking the BJP
government. But in the political circles nobody trusts him any more.
The same goes to Fatorda constituents. Vijay
Sardessai did not miss an opportunity to hit out at Manohar Parrikar or the BJP
government has now partnered with them to further loot and plunder Goa. He has
thrown ‘Goem, Goenkar and Goenkarponn’ to the winds and from now on will be
laughing his way to the bank.
For those credible, respectable well-wishers
of Fatorda constituency who went that extra mile to oversee Vijay’s victory is
a great betrayal of their lives. To say it is a ‘slap in their face’ would be an
understatement. The others who campaigned with him day and night, who toiled
for his victory would be a jolt. Vijay’s ground workers who denounced their own
to be with Vijay, one can image their plight.
All along the way, Vijay Sardessai has been
calling AAP as the B-team of the BJP, then he called Luizinho Faleiro as the
B-team of the BJP because an alliance was opposed but all the time, it was the
Fatorda MLA who was soliciting BJP.
Then |
If one reads Dr. Francisco Colaco’s on social
media on 12th March evening, one can make out that he is not angry
but is writhing in pain and choking with emotion at the betrayal by those whom
he used to call friends.
Fatorda MLA should introspect the hearts he
has broken because of his greed power and the goodies that follow. Vijay was
the same man who accused Parrikar and BJP for selling Goa, for turning coconut
tree into grass and many other instances. Today Vijay has shown that he is no
different than any other political prostitute and is even ready to sleep with
the enemy for power and commissions.
Let this be a lesson for voters not only from
Benaulim and Fatorda but all over never to trust politicians. If you do so it
you who will suffer the heart burn. Today my dear friend, a great dotor
Francisco Colaco, even greater human being is a victim. Let us vouch not to be
taken for a ride.
