The smartest/most cunning politician who is currently still around and successfully going great guns in Goa is undoubtedly MGP leader Sudin Dhavalikar.
In fact, this opportunist power-hungry politician is habitually known for repeatedly getting himself elected by bulling/giving his own big talks to all his die-hard supporters/symphatisers from Ponda during most elections and finally supporting any ruling party-led government.
It should be noted that this same Dhavalikar was openly seen roaming around in the company of some TMC party leaders just before the recently held assembly elections and was even heard loudly telling Goans through the local media that he would support only a secular party-led government in the state this time but not a BJP-led government.
Unfortunately, Dhavalikar as expectedly is once again seen today supporting a BJP-led government in the state after formally accepting a fat portfolio for himself in the cabinet and enjoying his own 'ache-din' in his own unique same old style in Goa.
I think that this 'chameleon' needs to be really saluted and given a lifetime award for being the most shrewd self-centered politician and keeping his friendship with leaders of all the main rival political parties (i.e. Congress as well as the BJP).
