South Goa was represented by Congress MP for long It lost seat recently due to internal bickering and personal ego . conflict of interest and dog in the manger attitude Last election the present candidate refused to canvass due to son in fray and denial of ticket for self. The selected candidate of Congress to dreams of perpetuity This year two aspiring candidates young educated without baggage were not considered There was better possibility of succeeding by giving tough fight But no wisdom and trust in old and aged is recipe
Forget of 33 percent reservation not a single Congress woman is in the Assembly. For bias against gender,Does not mater if the President of Congress Is young and dynamic but members have to be old As some one has commented that present choice has passed expiry period His report card does not inspire confidence as his earlier presence was not praise worthy on any known respect Remember his UTurn acting as traitor had made cause with BJP ditching Faleiro called Judas of Good Friday. Surprising that Reginaldo has extended public support forgetting as it seems stab in the back Are Congress MLA'S of south really enthusiastic about the choice and whether they will go out of their way to support Congress nominees is anybody's guess. Silently more likely to sabotage prospects or remain indifferent to. Cough up their resources The presence of AAP. Way ahead on campaign mode is likely to give tough time and eat into votes of Congress The others in fray will suck Congress prospects as votes of BJP will remain intact Congress as usual is a divided house with wounded aspirants and their promoters. One Congress stalwart is on record stating that party has gifted the seat in Goa to BJP on a platter This judgement is not without reasons and reality The voters in general are not too enthusiastic about the choice whom congress had rejected last time around. There is deep discontent brewing internally among MLA's many of whom are not in the best terms with the choice but prefer to avoid controversy and project illusive unity The prospects of seat in the south is forgone conclusion with none accepting the bet of congress defeat The Congress and not supporters are responsible for the outcome There is only one concern that may be elevating the situation To keep BJP at bay and vote out Congress is a better bet as others will only divide votes benefiting BJP Voting for others , refraining from voting, option NOTA will only benefit the BJP. The season of religious events will also alter the mood. The enthusiasm in Congress camp is sadly missing Nelson Lopes Chinchinim S
