It is now confirmed that Rohit Monserrate will be the Mayor of Panaji on 30 th March. A very dark day for Panaji it will be.
Babush Monserrate has been very adamant over it and has demanded that his son be placed on the saddle hook or by crook. It is an irony that the BJP which has been very vocal against Family Raj is now allowing this Monserrate dynasty rule to further procreate. But the BJP is known to have its own strange ways of politically finishing those it intends. On 24th November 1999 the BJP made Francisco Sardinha the Chief Minister. In less than a year on October 23rd 2000 he was very unceremoniously removed and lost his throne while he was on a trip to Australia to see the Kangaroos. For the politically and administratively novice Rohit Monserrate, the journey as Mayor is not going to be an easy one. He will not be able to run and manipulate the affairs at the CCP by proxy. His so called post graduate diploma in Business Economics which he claims to have obtained in 2010 from UK based Wigan & Leigh College may not come to his rescue. This reminds us of that BA degree and that too in first Class which last year came to haunt Raymond, the son of Goa’s Deputy Speaker Isidore Fernandes.
