Goa desperately needs a new government

Election dates have not been announced as yet but the political settings have commenced in full swing. All the mudslinging, abuses have been put aside to forge a motley of alliance as it has been happening for many years. Perhaps the portfolio alignments are also being settled.

When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice. You may know that your society is doomed”. 

What does this tell us? Do not fall prey to their meaningless rhetoric, false promises and blatant lies. We need to think out of the box and remember that the supreme divine has given us the intelligence to work and think better but we are divided and deprived by these politicians. 

So, think wise and take the right decision collectively only then a change is possible for us Goans. We have the option, after many years, to choose a political party we know as Aam Aadmi Party that can be tried for at least one term and see how they perform.
