The Congress, like the BJP earlier, now has the shade of the umbrella of its partymen ruling in Delhi. But you could expect some surprises from the BJP's shrewd strategising too.... Nominations for five assembly bye-election seats in Goa begin on May 9. Last date for filing nominations, May 16. Withdrawals by May 19. Some 1.17 lakh voters will cast their votes. These vacencies had arisen in January and February 2005, as five BJP MLAs had quit their seats, reducing the Manohar Parrikar government to a minority. Velim independent MLA Filipe Neri ROdrigues, has been disqualified by the Speaker, but the Election Commission of India has not yet announced a bye-election to fill the sixth vacency. Rodrigues has challenged the Speaker's decision in the high court. (Herald) o Political parties in Goa start working on poll probables. The BJP exercise to select a strong candidate for the Taleigao seat is on, and the party seems to have approached some builders to take on the former town and country planning minister, Mr Monserrate. Likewise, in Benaulim, the BJP leaders have established links with a few ex-Congressmen and talks seemed to be on. (NT) o Congress decides to contest all five seats. (H) o BJP joins chorus in welcoming the bye-elections. (H) o Illegal scrapyard at Carraswado, Mapusa, and an adjoining sawmill along the national highway catches fire, Rs 7 lakh loss.
