CANACONA
The musical-chair game is set to make it’s re-entry in Canacona municipality, but this time it’s for the second-in-command post of Deputy Chairperson. CMC Dy Chairperson Shamsunder Dessai is all set to put in his papers in immediate future, but moves are already gaining momentum for the next Dy Chairperson.
It is learnt, Dessai agreed to put in his papers to pass the baton to Nagorcem councillor Hemant Naikgaunkar, but the reported efforts by Mastimoll Councillor Kishore Shetkari also staking his claim, has put the ruling group on the back-foot. It may be recalled with the chairperson post reserved for women during this term, now rotated and the coveted post is with the last and 4th women councillor (Nitu Desai) at CMC.
Although all ten councillors of the ruling group are claiming to be of BJP panel and have decided to rotate deputy’s post to Naikgaunkar, one section is reportedly trying to break, the unanimous decision.
