mR francis dsouza air dashed to Goa with the hope throwing his hat in the ring.initially there was some veiled support just to create confusion He misjudged the euphoria generated by disgruntled elements, He seemed to be buoyed by false assurances, which he did not measure with precision.He opened his mouth so wide stating either the C.M post or his resignation from council of ministers He has to eat the crow and swallow his pride that and questioned his own integrity and self respect. He has not yet realised that his inclusion is pure and simple appeasement to the Catholic community devoid of any perceivable merit, except he tried to be on the side of BJP by his gaffe that all are Hindus and he had to face the flak, He is not the natural substitute or choice by his position, since when C.M was away he had handed over the Charge to Mr Davlikar and later to some one else Did he ever protest at this humiliation then, but meekly surrendered to the inevitable fact, in spite of being Deputy C.M. there was no trust in him even for a short time It is a disgrace that he now floats party directive to stick like limpet to position of power and prominence, which he derives by his present position The non swearing of Avertano at first instance indicates a message, who may stretch their association to far and unrealistic limits of political elasticity Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
