The next C.M of Goa The aspirations of Sudin , MGP were scuttled by Vijay Sardessai, who had none of it with all his plans A B C etc Neither anybody would vote for Vijay for that matter The choice had to be from BJP and strong the party with its connection at the centre. The threat of time bound decision almost rattled the alliance partners .The possibility of keeping the assembly in suspended animation or dissolution of Assembly, President rule were not in anybody`s interest. Besides the uncertainty of bye elections may favour BJP, thereby bargaining power of alliance partners will diminish. What happens to stated position of GFP that their support is for Manohar Parikar and not to BJP ? Can there be any doubt about the opportunistic stand and personal aspirations of the leader? The interest of state take a back seat
Now both the alliance partners will have eat crow working under a novice in politics or are they both working on the premise of arm twisting of C.M with their seasoned experienced and as politicians ? Pramod Sawant is relatively young and was promoted actively by Parikar and will have longer innings to carry forward the legacy of BJP in future. Whether he will have the charisma and skill of Parikar to deal with the situations only time will tell. But as of now the BJP has enforced its will decisively without giving any indication of its future strategy, The MGP and GFP being minor parterres have demanded and got their pound of flesh. There is also tacit agreement on sharing of more portfolios Dr Pramod Sawant remains untested in the murky politics of pulls and pressures. Will the BJP be able to hold at bay its other members with their rising but suppressed aspirations? Manohar Parikar had his special ability to deal with the dissidents The state of Goa is under flux and any guess will be too premature, As the elections progress the permutations and combinations are bound to shift Right now everyone is buying time and quick fix to send message of unity and continuity Nelson Lopes Chinchinim.
