Talking Photo: Viswajit's fate lies in here http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk31/5098525687/sizes/l/
Vishwajit Rane, s/o Goa Assembly Speaker PratapSingh Rane (71) is a Health minster in Dingambar’s Govt (Cong/NCP/MGP coalition govt) Viswajit or the Health Minister is not an MLA or Member of Legislative assembly. He was an MLA but resigned only to get re-elected and off course at our expense His resignation costing us about 60 lakhs – the cost of bye-election Elections were held on 18th Oct. and the vote counting /results are on 21st October, 2010 (Remember it's DRY DAY all of Panjim) What will happen to the Health Minister if he loses? Well, in an unlikely situation if he loses then he may still continue as Health Minister until X'Mas eve i,e, 24/12/10 Technically, I think he should step down on 21st Oct itself. Why Viswajeet is a Minister when he is not an MLA? Is it because he is the son of Speaker Rane? Not really. For that matter, anyone can become a minster for upto 6 months during which time one must get himself/herself elected. I think, when Indira Gandhi died early 80s, her son Rajiv Gandhi immediately sworn In as Prime Minister. Rajiv then was an active youth congress leader but was not an MP.
