The United Goans Democratic Party (UGDP) had, amidst big fanfare appointed former Sports Minister Francisco Monte Cruz as President of the party. He has reportedly not attended or spoken at any of the Party meetings in the current Lok Sabha election campaign.
Nobody knows the real reason for this. If he is “politically" unwell it is a matter of real concern. The UGDP MLA Mathany Saldanha has also not spoken out against the communal and divisive policies of the BJP. One cannot blame him. How can you bite the hand that feeds you? Politics is a strange game. The reason Chief Minister Parrikar is not canvassing for Sripad Naik and wants Dr Wilfred De Sousa to win is very simple. If the veteran of Saligao wins Parrikar is to benefit as he has one MLA less in the Opposition. What a strategy! I now realise why its so important to be an IIT. Its a long way to go from LLB.
