Elections are here, choose your candidate wisely


It is recently reported that 23 per cent of Goa’s MLAs have criminal cases against them. If this is so, considering they have full authority to legislate, how does one guarantee they will uphold the principles of natural justice and jurisprudence? What stops them from acting against the very laws of the land?

The HC of Delhi, had, ages ago, evicted all the polluting steel rolling mills from Delhi. The very next day, some of these mills were welcomed to Goa. These mills were power guzzlers, depriving other industries of power. Their workers literally lived inside the factories many of whom died in explosions because safety was compromised and condoned by the legislators. 

Any wonder why the Bhumiputra Bill surfaced in Goa at this time? A criminally bent mind will understand only such kinds of matters. 

Politicians know well how to pamper their voters especially the illegal migrant vote banks.

The election commission of India has made it amply clear that all political parties must make public if any of their candidates have criminal cases against them.

It’s time we choose the right candidate who will govern us for the next five years.
