When the Lotus bloomed at the Margao civic body after 17 long years, many were quick to give Diggu the credit for BJP’s return to the municipality. Diggu’s return to the BJP fold, no doubt, helped the BJP to take its tally in the 25-member civic body to 15. Sources, however, say one cannot discount the role played by former Fatorda MLA Damubab Naik in the BJP’s victory. Sources say Damubab ensured that the party flock, especially from Fatorda remained, together when voices of dissent were heard over the choice of the party candidate for the civic chief. Any questions?
