Election are around the corner and political parties are busy wooing voters with different schemes and policies which always will be on paper and not implemented to the fullest. The BJP is saying they have built bridges and roads. The reality is that the Atal Setu which was supposed to cost Rs 500 crores has reached a staggering Rs 1000 crores. I wonder what will be the cost of the Zuari bridge as it is alleged that the PWD minister gets a commission of 10%. If so, what will be the quality of the work is a cause of worry. The sheer number of political parties at this year’s polls are only to divide the votes and allow the BJP to come to power. Hence people should vote wisely if we don't want job scam, power scam, PWD scam, sex scandal, etc. We need clean politicians who will work for the welfare of all Goans and not of just one constituency as is seen with most jobs going to the people of Valpoi and Sanquelim constituencies, that too only to the BJP karyakartas and not other youth. What about the youth of other constituencies? Are they not qualified? There are many political parties playing gimmicks to woo voters. Some have come just 3 months ago and are giving promises galore just to become a national party. Requesting the people of Goa to vote diligently and judiciously for the future of Goa.
