Vishwajeet backstabbed us: Babush

Taleigao MLA Babush Monseratte
today blasted his rebel colleague Vishwajeet Rane, alleging that he hatched a
conspiracy to make his father - speaker Pratapsing Rane -the chief minister by
using them.
Realising that he has been left all alone by all the rebels
who rushed to Delhi to get the ministerial berths, Babush said he however would
continue supporting the Digambar Kamat government, even without being part of
it.
Babush further alleged that he would never align with Vishwajeet, who
has backstabbed the whole move by striking a last-minute compromise without his
knowledge.
Vishwajeet today apparently rushed to Delhi along with MGP leader
Sudin Dhawalikar when he came to know about the Congress plan to induct Babush
into the cabinet. The Congress high command immediately agreed to the new formula
and opted for Dhawalikar rather than Babush.
Meanwhile, NCP's former ministers
Micky Pacheco and Jose Philip D'Souza also rushed to Delhi, fearing losing the
berths if Babush was also inducted in the cabinet, keeping them out.
The
greedy attitude ultimately resulted into the rebels' group splitting on the grounds
of suspicion that helped the Congress-NCP to restore its government by resolving
the four-day long political crisis.
Left alone, Babush has now also given
up his demands of stripping off Dayanand Narvekar and Churchill Alemao of their
finance and PWD portfolios. "The demands have lost all the meaning now",
he quipped.
"I am satisfied if the IT habitat is scrapped", he
added.
Congress legislator Sham Satardekar and Save Goa legislator Alex
Reginald Lawrenco, who were also present at the press conference, said they had
never left their respective parties.
