Let us free this state from alarming levels of corruption

These assembly elections are very crucial for our State as it could well be the last where the Goan vote would be of any consequence. Taking into account the importance that the coming elections would have in defining Goa’s future, it is all the more important that we should not shirk our fundamental duty of saving our land. So there is no question of taking an "apolitical" posture at these elections in particular.

One does not have to contest elections but one has to be ready to take a stand and support the party that could do justice to our State. It is also very important to be alert and vigilant of those political parties that have craftily surfaced to ensure that there is division of votes to deviously benefit the BJP.  This we should not allow as everyone after the last ten years of horrific misrule want to see the BJP driven out of Power.  

Let us take a conscientious stand and free this state from the current alarming levels of corruption and maladministration that Goa is gripped in. Something we cannot achieve by remaining "apolitical". And the February 14th electoral battle is one we need to win for the sake of a secular and progressive Goa.
