Postponement of the ZP by-election by a few weeks may have come as a breather for Congress veteran Luizinhbab Faleiro. Reason: All eyes were focused on the Navelim MLA to shortlist the winnable candidate for the Navelim ZP seat against a two-time sitting member Ciprubab Cardozo. The saffron brigade is in power in the South Goa Zilla Panchayat having won a clear majority, while the Congress had received a drubbing in the ZP polls. Party leaders seem to have pinned their hopes on Luizinhbab to salvage some pride in the by-polls.
