Choose candidates with education & character

Of late, we have seen a lot of politicians changing parties. It seems they are purchasing a lottery ticket in the hope of winning the MLA’s post. All the MLAs always want to be on the ruling side, not the Opposition. 

The ruling party continues to make ridiculous announcements and decisions with no counter from any of the incumbent candidates. Being in the opposition is not their cup of tea.

Why is no one fighting for the human rights of those who died from lack of oxygen at the GMC? The BJP is forcing offline classes for students post Ganesh, why is everyone silent? 

The AIIMS head has warned not to go out unless it is very essential to contain the third wave. MHA has also confirmed this and called for more medical facilities especially for children.

Silence means no one can look after the interest of Goans if in the Opposition. In today’s scenario, only candidates with education and character can save us or we have to form committees in every constituency headed by professionals who must be regularly consulted by the sitting MLA to tackle issues such as introduction of new bills by the government, or other decisions.
