With corruption at record levels in Goa and the same getting worse by the day, I think that BJP party seems very nervous about winning the 2027 state elections. Hence the party is aggressively pursuing its bills to legalize houses under the pretext “Goans will be benefiting ” which is pure deception, as the term Goan has not been defined to cover only ethnic Goans. It is obvious in Goa today that that there are corrupt Goan BJP ministers/MLAs who will not survive in politics today if you take away their vote banks in illegal settlements. I am all for providing decent accommodation to people but this surely can be done via setting up rental properties, and not just gifting away free/encroached land in ownership, particularly to those who broke the law and encroached on properties. The infamous Bhumiputra bill which the BJP was forced to withdraw earlier now seems to be tactfully introduced in 3 parts. If somehow these 3 legalisation moves by the BJP can be stopped, the chances of success of the BJP forming the next government can be drastically reduced.
