Apropos to The Goan Everyday's hard-hitting editorial “Why is the political class silent on the grim Covid scenario?” (January 12, 2022).
The ever climbing positivity rate of 30.36%. 4 COVID-19 related deaths in Goa. 2476 new cases. What is going on?
The macabre dance of death is about to rear its ugly head in Goa reminiscent of the second wave that engulfed our state from March 2021 to June 2021.
Why will political class wake up and stop the shenanigans in the run up to the Goa Assembly Elections 2022 that are only getting way too complicated to call with each passing day?
If Goa goes under lockdown ahead of elections, who will consult his / her supporters before giving resignations and switching parties? What will happen to the massive shows of strength to make opponents jealous?
How will “the tall leaders” with groundswell of support from Mumbai, New Delhi and Kolkata be able to land in Goa with newer promises conveyed to us through dazzling oratorical skills and mesmerising sleight of hands?
How will the high stake election game be won and lost?
It is time to count votes. Coronavirus cannot be allowed to hold elections to ransom. We will deal with the third wave of COVID-19 after votes are cast, verdict is delivered and new government is sworn in. Until then, the show must go on.
