PANDURANGA PANDURANGA!!!!

OK here’s masterpiece. The writer Walter D’Souza needs a couple of sessions with Margaret Mascarenhas (that’s after we are done with our tutorials)… Obviously sub editors need not be blamed for this, for they don’t edit ads anyway. And poor Luiz from the advertising section is in the midst of another dozen loves to find time for such corrections.

Pandurang Madkaikar riding high on the road to success

By Walter D’Sousa: An able Candidate, A person proving his name PANDURANG by helping his voters and citizens of constituency who is affectionately called as “BHAU” by his voters. (This looks as if the writer was advised by a sub called Joseph Deva at the Herald, whose greatest passion has always been grammatical convolution)
His words are ‘‘I am here to do total development of Cumbharjua’’ (Ominous na, almost like saying… ‘I am going to do you baby’)
Any person in his constituency can meet him directly for any of their works regarding services or development or any work. (Ya… why not no one needs the panchayats anyway…) He has initiated the Navchaitanya trust for assisting and helping needy students in terms of books, medicines, uniforms or even people who require house repairs.
Old Goa Credit Society and Khorlim V.K.S. society was established considering the fact that low income group people cannot get loans from Nationalized banks. Through these society it became easy for them to get loans for house construction, purchasing vehicles and also other personal loans.
Shri Pandurang ('Shri' Pandurang is a first I think in all these ads which have been published) has also taken efforts to increase the amount of Dayanand social security schemes from Rs.500 to 1000.
As an able transport Minister he made efforts to give better services to people. Computerized driving license was the crown facility (Ok, another one here… crown facility!!!) which reduced the corruption in a drastic way. Moreover website of Transport Dept. was started. Now many works of this dept. are done in the most modern way on computer. (:))
Shri Pandurang made Cumbharjua constituency’s development like free flowing Cumbharjua River by adopting various beneficial schemes in Cumbharjua, St. Estevam, Carambolim, Corlim, Old Goa, Goltinavelim, St.Matias, Malar, Chodan Panchayat area and approximately Rs. 80 crores has been spent on many works in Cumbharjua Constituency. Shri Madkaikar brought maximum govt. fund for his constituency, and he became “Bhau” a real brother helping everybody. (Oh baby. Here comes the Godfather of Cumbharjua)
Cumbharjua a remote area comprising of two islands and eight village panchayats, grown like a wild growth due to its natural setting. (We have a feeling this piece has been translated from a vernacular original. ‘Grown like wld growth due to its natural setting’). This able candidate assures to complete the roads and other such communication facilities in the coming 5 years to make this constituency as a Crown of Goa. (knock the bottles and keep the Crown. Here’s to another crown) He has very jovial relationship with senior leaders of the party and also with the officers of Govt. which makes his aspirations of development of this area to realize. (This sounds like another Joseph. Surely it’s not him? ‘Jovial relationship’ ‘development of this area to realise’? ) His systematic working and attitude has made the difference and this all will definitely make him win the election with your assured support. (This is a piece done in a hurry… Here’s the jagged edge of discernable campaign propoganda ‘with your assured support’)
