We have to give due credit to Shri Digambar Kamat, the Chief Minister of Goa for handling yet another dramatic crises that his government has faced with the resignation drama enacted by the Alemao brothers. The Congress high command managed to persuade the sulking Alemao brothers to not only withdraw their resignations from the cabinet and the party but also to work for its success in future!
We have seen such threats in the past, and the media has time and again labeled them empty threats once the crises had blown over. Nobody has given credit where it is due. It is the magical handling of such crises situation that has kept Shri Kamat on his high chair.
The Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, Shri Rajiv Shukla reportedly told the Alemao brothers that they were assets for the party and that they should continue to be so. It is also reported that the party leadership told them that their family had contributed immensely for the party and that it should continue its alliance with the party for the benefit of the people of the state.
The bottom line of the whole drama is that the Alemao brothers returned back gaining nothing but their bloated egos. The disqualification has not been withdrawn and Valanka cannot contest the Youth Congress elections. And yet everybody seems to be happy.
So what had been the objective of the whole resignation drama? Are the Alemao brothers so insecure that once in a while they need a few comforting words of assurance from the congress high command? If they do, then perhaps they need to see a psychiatrist!
What we can read from this is the very shrewd mind hiding behind those glasses of the man occupying the high chair in the State of Goa. We must give credit to Shri Digambar Kamat because it is his due. He has done this in the past and he has done it now.
How can we forget the shrewd tackling of the Parrikars and the Monserrattes and the Madkaikars and the Dhavlikars and the Narvekars in the past? Unfortunately for the state, the only job the Chief Minister of Goa seems to be doing is maintaining the government boat afloat and progressing nowhere.
The state is floating in the ocean with no direction going nowhere and in a form of suspended animation. When will all this end?
