Fatorda’s warring politicians “ Independent MLA Vijai Sardesai and former BJP MLA Damu Naik “ left politics behind for some time on the occasion of Holi as they celebrated the festival together at Linga Temple at Fatorda on Thursday morning.
The duo, who do not see eye to eye and hardly misses an opportunity to attack each other politically, were seen extending Holi greetings at Linga Temple in the presence of their supporters and devotees. Both the MLA and two-time former legislator and BJP spokesman smiled at each other and had no hesitation in posing for a photograph. The duo greeted each other with gulal after they performed the religious ceremony at the temple.
After the celebration, Vijai told the media that Holi is all about spreading love and not hatred. “Intolerance to none is a message from this Holi going out from Fatorda,” Vijai added.
Both Vijai and Damu were conspicuous by their presence at Linga Temple, near Dambab Talli and the adjoining Chapel, as president of the Committee, Amresh Naik performed the religious ritual.
While Vijai played host to a rain dance at his residence after he paid a visit to Nag Temple, Damu organised his traditional Rang Barse programme at the swimming pool, with outstation singers being the added attraction this year.
