Panaji MLA Babush Monserrate has fed us with all fake and false promises. Even that promised 30 bedded full-fledged Ribandar Health Centre has ended up as a total sham.
In May 2019 during that Panaji by-election Babush Monserrate had promised the people of Panaji that the casinos would be moved out of the River Mandovi within 100 days. But as expected made a U-turn.
While in the Opposition the BJP had vociferously branded casinos as a “social evil” and had called them "dens of vice" while vowing to make sure that all casinos were thrown out of Goa if the BJP came to power. But in a dramatic U-turn in March 2012 after coming to power, the BJP has gone all out to promote, shield and infact increase the casinos trade in the name of promoting tourism.
Ironically the RSS which sets and gears the agenda for the BJP is known to be against gambling but their silence on casinos is deafening. The BJP and now Babush Monserrate have fallen in passionate love with the casino brigade.
Goa has sadly become the country’s gambling hub while the crime rate is on a steep rise. A once tranquil is today a very unsafe destination.
