The BJP has taken the correct stance in not spoon-feeding Utpal Parrikar. The BJP has stood behind self-made men rather than papa's and mama's boys. Once Utpal has proved his mettle, I'm sure that any party will welcome him with open arms.
I urge the people of Panaji to come out and vote for a clean and new face. Others have been given the chance already and failed.
The people will also now appreciate that the BJP was not out to shortchange them on the casino issue.
It was also unfortunate that a deserving candidate, Siddharth Kuncolienkar got left out from the election fray for no fault of his or his party.
