Goa Government has hastily decked up entire route through which the G-20 delegates will be passing by. Eyesore spots that were unable to be spruced up have been covered with metal sheets or green cloth. Isn’t it amusing that government has also covered Casino advertisements on all the police barricades with white plastic? What are the authorities trying to hide from the G-20 delegates? The whole world knows that Goa has now become a gambling destination. The Casinos are the one single largest evil that is responsible for Goa’s social degeneration.
The BJP while in the opposition branded Casinos as a social evil but is now madly in love with the Casino brigade which is getting the government’s total patronage and bountiful support. Ironically on 21st August 2014 the then Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar had assured Aleixo Reginald Lourenco and members of the Goa Legislative Assembly that all the Casino advertisements displayed on the police barricades would be removed immediately. It is almost nine long years and those Casinos advertisements on police barricades have only amplified all over.
The G20 is composed of 19 of the world’s largest economies and the European Union. It works to address major issues related to the world economy, such as financial stability, climate change and sustainable development and as a venue for international economic and financial cooperation. By contrast our government lurches from crisis to crisis with our financial situation in a precarious state and our capital city, like many other government sponsored projects, end up as unsustainable disasters and our state as the vice capital of India.
The government may not be able to hide the ground reality from the G20 delegates as they must all be aware that Goa besides being branded as the gambling capital has become a very safe haven for the narcotic trade and the flourishing menace of sex trade. The alarming increase in Crimes has further made our once serene Goa, a very unsafe destination. And of course India’s smallest State has excelled in Political Prostitution too.
