The BJP has time and again humiliated the Mapusa MLA Francis D’Souza. Over the years he has been blatantly humiliated by the saffron brigade and consistently politically undermined, despite his unflinching loyalty to the Party. Last year after having dished him unwanted crumbs and leftovers, Manohar Parrikar is now keen to displace the Mapusa MLA.
On account of his loyalty to the BJP, Francis D' Souza had to even endure flak and wrath of the Church after claiming to be a Christian Hindu. Being the then Deputy Chief Minister he should have been the obvious choice to Chief Ministership in November 2014, when Manohar Parrikar moved to Delhi. And in March last year, to rub salt into his wounds, Francis D’Souza was relegated to number 4 in the cabinet with the meagre Urban Development portfolio. The conduct of the BJP towards the altar boys only shows that they value them no more than toilet paper. Less said the better on how in October 2000 then BJP coalition Chief Minister Francisco Sardinha was dispatched on a voyage to see the Kangaroos in Australia and was here very unceremoniously and deviously unsaddled from the throne. More recently after having vowed to carry on Matanhy Saldanha’s legacy, the BJP has reneged on everything he stood for. Even Alina Saldanha, despite being the lone lady MLA, was craftily kept out of the cabinet. The BJP’s deceitful saffron agenda is now in the open and there for all to see.
