Will the Congress field Filipe Neribab’s next-door neighbour Joebab Dias against the Fisheries Minister in the 2022 polls for the Velim constituency? Or, is the Diggu-Girish duo still on the job to scout for a winnable candidate to take on the Cong-turned-BJP Velim MLA? Well, while Joebab, the South Goa Congress district president, has got his men in place in Velim ahead of the 2022 polls, many in the national party say the time has still not come to finalise candidates as per Congress’ tradition. The induction of Velim Sarpanch Saviobab D’Silva in the Congress on the eve of the Zilla Panchayat poll shows that nothing is final in the party. Any takers?
