The continued violence against a local restaurant in Calangute needs to be questioned with a simple ‘why’? People must seek answers. The answer is: outsiders, businessmen and politicians are changing the local culture faster than the Omicron progression. Why? The local MLA was super quick to point out that the incident did not involve any Delhi businessman but was a mere rivalry between the staff of two restaurants. Perhaps he should be given the Home Ministry too. Pity the party that finally gives him and his wife the poll tickets. Why no action? The TTAG is silent and the media has been seeking his ‘expert’ views on the seasonal celebrations only to question the government after the horses bolted. Why? The press, which had pages and pages of the functions in their journals is ‘now’ seeking out the SOP violations.
Readers were quick to congratulate the CM on cancelling the Sunburn festival a couple of months back. Yet it continued with the predictable SOP violations. No one likes to be cheated, true, but they must retract their congratulatory remarks and not hide behind their shame. Where is Frankenstein? AAP hijacked the Old Goa agitation: let us see them provide insights from the Delhi angle on the violence against local businessmen. Goa is sure to see Kolkata ‘businessmen’ in action too. After all, it is an established fact: money can buy anything. Will the Calangute case be solved by compromising along these lines? Goa is being forcefully ‘bought’ by lure and violence: rivers, seas - Drishti has been gifted more than people realize - Brittos, Lobos, etc. The last straw on sale: the Goa Legislative Assembly.
