Congratulations BJP on new communal distraction

To my knowledge it is perhaps for the first time in Goa’s history that all the 3 prominent religious communities had big protests at Goa Police Stations; in approximately one week. On this “very significant” milestone achieved by the BJP Government, I would like to congratulate the Goa CM Pramod Sawant, TCP Minister Vishwajit, Panchayat Minister Mauvin, Environment Minister Aleixo, Revenue Minister Babush, Tourism Minister Rohan, Water Resources Minister Subhash and the rest of the BJP ministers/MLAs including those who defected from other parties to “strengthen the BJP” and for “their development”  And maybe it’s just a big coincidence that around the same time there was massive opposition building up to the Goa BJP government  over converting large scale lands and with it destroying hills, waterbodies, fields, forests, wildlife and thousands of trees; all to benefit land sharks, celebrities, politicians and mega real estate developers from outside Goa.  Another coincidence in this short time is that other environmental atrocities were sanctioned while people were diverted towards religious protests. So surely the Goa ministers can’t be so low and sinister that they wanted a diversion?
