Has the Congress ZP victory in Velim cleared the decks for Velim Sarpanch Saviobab D’Silva to stake his claim for the 2022 Assembly ticket? This question did the rounds in Velim political circles no sooner party candidate Juliobab won the Velim ZP seat. It’s an open secret that it was at the insistence of Saviobab that the Congress fielded a candidate in Velim when party leaders were initially in favour of leaving Velim for an Independent. That opposition leader Digambarbab Kamat participated in Juliobab’s victory celebrations at Durga-Chinchinim indeed raised many an eyebrow in Velim political circles. Any questions?
