Is the saffron brigade working on a plan to checkmate former CM and Margao MLA Digambarbab Kamat in his bastion? It is an open secret that BJP’s attempts to dislodge the six-time Margao MLA had come a cropper due to a host of reasons. The saffron brigade has time and again failed to penetrate deep into the votes of migrant and minority communities. Against this backdrop, it is indeed a sheer coincidence that Congress minority leader Urfan Mulla, who crossed over to the BJP last month, has vowed to bomb Diggu’s bastion. That Riyazbhai Sheikh, Mulla’s close aide, also quit the Congress suggests that the ruling party has something up its sleeves in 2022. The battle for Margao has begun in right earnest.
