The Goa Bachao Abhiyan has expressed disgust over the ongoing
political crisis and threatened to strike all over again if
this attempt to grab power leads to restoration of Regional
Plan 2011.
The GBA views with serious concern the media reports indicating
that the Regional Plan 2011 (RP 2011) is the reason for the
current political crisis, stated Dr Oscar Rebello, the GBA
convenor, in a press note released in this regard.
It further states:
Goans have expressed their resolve through the GBA to defeat
any attempt by the vested interests to sell Goa to the highest
bidder. GBA categorically states that any attempt to restore
the scrapped RP 2011 is against the wishes of the people of
Goa
GBA expresses disgust and contempt at the latest games of
brinkmanship indulged in by various political parties, all
with the avowed motive of gaining power and not in Goa's long-
term interest.
This game of defections, resignations and toppling Governments
has been the bane and curse of Goan polity for the last two
decades or so and every single party has contributed to the
mockery that the parliamentary system of democracy in Goa
has degenerated to.
Ethics, principles and morality in public life is empty rhetoric
and these platitudes are mouthed only at the time of elections.
Post elections only interests of elected individuals remain
paramount.
The GBA is watching closely the events that are to follow
specially with regard to the Regional Plan 2011. If the interest
Goa is again put to the sword, the GBA will not hesitate to
strike all over again with more strength and vigour.
