PANJIM, MARCH 10: Will Panajiites Initiative for Change (PINC) able to make a dent in the vote bank of Taleigao MLA Babush Monserrate?
Whatever the results may be, but the entry of PINC has added a new dimension to CCP polls.
It is too early to predict if the PINC has changed the dynamics of politics between Opposition Leader Manohar Parrikar and Taleigao MLA Babush Monserrate but it has certainly altered the electoral battle which was forecasted as one-sided two months back.
Dr Oscar Rebello, a front leader of PINC prefers to keep dignified silence on whether their efforts will yield dividend – in terms of electoral victories for the candidates they are supporting — he is nonetheless confident that Babush will definitely find it tough to win “this CCP election.”
The PINC is supporting twenty-nine candidates, of whom sixteen are from the BJP supported panel – Panaji First, some from the NCP floated panel and some independent candidates.
“We have done our best and have spoken to all the sections of people,” when questioned as to whether they would be successful in beating Babush who has been planning to turn Panjim into Taleigao.
While many see the entry of PINC as “welcome change” some are skeptical about its initiative.
“Yes, there is room for skepticism,” says Dr Rebello however pointed out that they do not have magic wand to change everything, instantly. “Nonetheless, we have taken the step because we want change in Panjim.”
Also, the question raised is what happens after the elections? What if the PINC supported candidates change sides or do not live up to the expectations of the voters?
The PINC has also assured that it would monitor performance of the corporators. A monitoring committee consisting active citizens of Panjim should be formed irrespective of which panel comes to power.
