To get the law to be followed in Goa or to address corruption, the only option for citizens seems to be to run to courts. When Goans ask for special status to preserve Goa's identity or some sort of jobs guarantee for Goans, ruling politicians will quickly use the unconstitutional tactic to negate the request. But when the Goa government wants to introduce policies which could be in violation of the Constitution/existing laws; there is no hesitation for the Goa government to proceed even when there are chances that these can be struck down by the law. There are numerous examples which include legalisation of illegal settlements/residences, TCP's controversial Section 39/A or 17/2 which allows mass conversions/destruction of Goa's land/environment/hills/water bodies to commercial/real estate development and encroachment by Railways on private land to serve lobbies like the coal lobby. There are even statements by senior Goa ministers who dared people to go to court should they have issues with their policies or legislations. Looks like the Goa government's senior ministers want to just tire the citizens from opposing their destructive policies and perhaps paralyse the functioning of the judiciary by overburdening it with cases.
