How could Chief Minister Pramodbab Sawant exude confidence that Saxtti’s lone minister Filipe Neribab will be in his government in the future as well, given the fact that many believe the Velim MLA may not contest the 2022 polls on the BJP’s Lotus symbol. In fact, the CM was categorical in announcing at Cuncolim that Congress-turned-BJP MLAs Filipe Neribab, Deputy CM Babu Kavlekar and Clafaciobab Dias will be very much part of the future BJP government. Many an observer was left to wonder whether Filipe Neribab will contest the coming election on the Lotus symbol or the Velim MLA has something up his sleeves in 2022 given that he had in the past quit the BJP and got elected as an Independent. Wait and watch!
