BJP is not in a hurry to establish government

Published

on

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) may be in a strong position in Goa and has enough votes to create a new government, but it is not in a hurry to meet with the governor. According to the sources, the future chief minister of Goa could be a thorny issue.

According to sources within the party, there is no unanimity on Pramod Sawant’s name at this time, and a decision would be made after the central observers arrive in Goa. Sawant is the most likely contender for the position of CM, according to senior authorities, but nothing has been decided yet. This implies that the BJP will not meet with the Governor on Thursday (March 10).

“At the party’s meeting, the party will decide who will become the chief minister.” “There will be no delay in meeting with the governor, but we also don’t want to rush things,” he said.

Fadnavis didn’t say who might be the next likely candidate for the job, but in the absence of Michael Lobo, who is now in Congress, sources say Vishwajeet Rane could have a lot more clout.

Fadnavis attributed the BJP’s victory to the party’s pro-development platform. “Narendra Modi deserves recognition as well. People believe him and know that new policies will be implemented and bigger good would happen,” he stated.

The MGP, which had established an alliance with the TMC, would also join the BJP, according to Fadnavis. “I am delighted that Babush won but not happy that Utpal lost,” Fadnavis remarked of Utpal Parrikar, the son of former Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, who lost the Panjim seat. Fadnavis went on to say that the Parrikar family has always been a part of the BJP’s family.

The BJP is poised to form the government in Goa, despite ten years of anti-incumbency.

Pramod Sawant, the chief minister of Goa, has credited the state’s people for the state’s election success. “I’d like to express my gratitude to Goa’s people. We gained this win due of them, and I owe them a debt of gratitude,” he remarked.

He told India Today TV that the three independents had already called to voice their support for the BJP and that the party would soon lay claim to forming the government.

“It is my party that will make the call on this matter,” he remarked when asked if he would run for state chief minister again. Sawant narrowly won the Sanquelim assembly seat.

Anastasio Babush Monseratte, a controversial BJP candidate, won the Panjim seat, which had been closely watched. Pitted against him was Utpal Parrikar, who contested as an independent from this seat. While Utpal described it as a “tight race,” he did not respond to a query regarding his next steps. Utpal had said before the elections that he was taking a career risk and that he was running on moral reasons.

Supporters of BJP candidate Vishwajeet Rane were seen chanting slogans in support of his chief ministership outside the counting center in North Goa. “I don’t have any aspirations to be the chief minister,” Vishwajeet Rane stated when confronted by India Today. I’ll undertake whatever work my political party assigns to me.”

Babush Monseratte, on the other hand, surprised everyone by publicly expressing his unhappiness with the results. “I won, but I’m not thrilled with the margin of victory.” The president of the women’s wing did not work for me. She was idling her time. We’ve demonstrated this to the BJP and Congress. “I won because of my employees,” he explained.

“I am not leaving the group,” Monseratte responded when asked if his rage would lead to him leaving. “This party will kill me,” he predicted. Monserrate is expected to be granted a high-paying job, according to sources.

On all 40 seats, the BJP ran. Babush Monseratte and Jennifer Monseratte, Vishwajeet Rane, and wife Divya Rane, both powerful couple candidates, won their seats.

There is a severe bus shortage at NMMT’s Ghansoli Depot, severely impacting commuters.

The Shortage

The Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT) Ghansoli depot is facing a severe crisis, with over 50% of its fleet rendered non-operational due to poor maintenance and technical failures. The situation has led to significant inconvenience for daily commuters who rely on these services.

According to sources, out of the 114 buses in the depot’s fleet, as many as 75 are currently out of service. These buses have been grounded due to various technical issues, including engine failure, gear defects, and chassis cracks. As a result, only 39 buses are operational, of which eight are reserved for school students, leaving a mere 31 buses for public transport.

Commuters have raised concerns about the reliability and safety of the remaining operational buses, fearing mechanical failures due to inadequate maintenance. A Ghansoli resident voiced concerns about the potential risks posed by the poorly maintained buses.

NMMT General Manager Yogesh Kaduskar acknowledged the crisis and assured commuters that efforts are underway to repair and restore as many buses as possible. “We are working towards ensuring that maximum buses are repaired soon and brought on the road to serve commuters,” Kaduskar stated.

With limited buses available, passengers are struggling with overcrowding and increased waiting times. Many are urging NMMT to expedite repairs and improve fleet maintenance to restore normalcy to public transport in the region.
