Conversions? Don’t make baseless charges


It seems the RSS is in a tearing hurry to implement its skewed ideology in Goa. 

First, they start with the flagship modus operandi: go on speaking untruths and some people will think the same is true. But what is the logic? 

They are ‘saying’ there are conversions going on in Goa where poor people and others with ‘needs’ are targeted. Now this is not converting but bribing. 

The BJP MLAs and others also did just that -- they ‘preyed’ on the voters with needs and bought their votes. They doled out freebies like free water, Laadli Laxmi schemes etc to get votes. 

Now, if you live by this ‘bribery’ inducements, why point fingers at others, that too when there are no such incidents?

The Governor says Goans are happy, so where are the poor and the ‘needy’ ones? The top 2 positions in Goa are in disagreement: meaning somebody is lying. 

If indeed, there are Goans with strong needs that they consider converting, why does the government not come to their aid? 

Instead of spending crores of rupees on projects that turn into white elephants, why can’t the government launch a survey to find out how many people are living in poverty?

Surely, there is something wrong in this illogical thinking. Hope better sense prevails.
