Who will educate our ministers?

The common man helplessly has to bear the brunt of  everything. Responsible members of the ruling party publicly state Sita was  a test tube baby, bureaucrats take bribes and  incite violence as recourse. Arrogant loud mouths are  not chastized/punished. 

Must we become the laughing stock of the world? Fringe  groups ban movies passed by the Central Certification authorities and even the  court has to order conniving state politicians/government to uphold the law and  ensure safety of cinema houses and those who want to watch the movie! 

In Goa the  power failures have caused untold trauma and loss to households and business. 

Who will  compensate the affected citizens? Defense Minister Nirmala Sitaraman says the  Congress is responsible for the shortage of ammunition today and increased  violence and killing of our soldiers on the borders, after 4 years of being in  power. 

The thinking of the opposition parties is the same as that of Pakistan! The  GSPCB figures show pollution levels rising alarmingly in Goa and the skewed  “development” continues with an outdated TCP Act and no regional plan in  place. 

The garbage situation appears going out of control. Meanwhile, the people are  blamed for objection to any development!
