Our beautiful Goa is being defaced with political hoardings and banners. One political party trying to supersede the other by advertising and thereby wooing the Goan electorate.
Political parties have been spending huge sums of money on advertising but in the run up to the polls they are all out defacing our beautiful state by pasting and hanging their banners on public property.
I believe that the panchayats and administrative departments have not given any permission for such large scale defacement of public property.
Under the Goa Prevention of Defacement of Property Act, 1988 these parties should be penalized for the pasting of their party posters on public property.
This type of canvassing is only done when a political party is unable to convey their message through word of mouth and has to play with the mind of the voters by sticking their party pictures all over the place.
I request authorities to be firm in dealing with such defacement now and not wait for the conclusion of the election process as one cannot expect these defeated parties to clean their mess after election.
