Caretaker CM Sawant has his task cut out

An uneasy calm has prevailed between Caretaker CM Pramod Sawant and his muscle flexing colleague.  It appears on the  surface  there is apparent  calm but the pot is boiling. Diplomacy  seems to assure that all is well.The massive influx of employees in health sector from a single constituency needs no explanation. Nurses without serving bond period have been confirmed in service and they come from his constituency. The dynasty  has now been  promoted by BJP while blasting Congress about it.

Further to placate his colleague , Sawant has given Cabinet status to Sr Rane against all rules in force  and totally sycophantic in nature.The vote share of husband and wife duo is cynosure of all eyes, but on expected lines because of largesse of  employment  opportunity  in health services.

The storm is brewing from inside threatening stability from within. Sawant may not be able to curb the dissidence and swallow  pride and authority  by pretending to be proverbial ostrich by burying it's head in the sand.
