May Lobo keep serving Goa for many more years

Maverick people-friendly leader Michael Lobo as expectedly has now formally joined the Congress party along with his wife Delilah Lobo and all his panchas/supporters after finally quitting the BJP in Goa.  It should be noted that it was Michael Lobo who was solely instrumental in installing the current ruling BJP government in the state after the 2017 assembly elections despite the party getting just 13 seats as compared to Congress party's 17 seats in Goa.Unfortunately, the BJP leaders instead of gifting him with a descent minister's post had humiliated Lobo by appointing him as Minister of Waste Management to deliberately insult and to keep treating him like garbage  in Goa.   Today, the same BJP leaders, after seeing the exit of Michael Lobo from the party are again heard accusing him with all kinds of allegations. The one thing I know about Michael Lobo is that he's a kind-hearted person who welcomes people with open arms in his office almost everyday. So, here's wishing this most popular minority leader from Parra "all the very best" in the upcoming assembly elections and keep serving the people of Calangute/Goa for many more years.
