Is there anything special lining up from Saxtti as the Opposition is bracing up to take on the saffron brigade in the forthcoming Monsoon Session of the Goa Legislative Assembly? For, post-June 4 Lok Sabha election results, expectations are high that the INDI Alliance will collectively floor the government on the mat in the coming session. Barring RGP MLA Vireshbab Borkar, most of the Opposition MLAs either hail from Saxttidom or have Saxtti connections. Goa Forward chief Vijaibab Sardesai has kick-started his interactions with citizens seeking inputs on questions to be raised in the Assembly. And, so has Leader of Opposition Yuribab Alemao. Aam Aadmi Party MLA duo of Venzy-Cruz, currently busy with the Benaulim ZP by-poll, and not to mention Congress MLAs Carlosbab and Altonbab, are all expected to gear up for the Assembly session. Wait and watch.
Mission 2027 Assembly polls? AAP national leader visits Goa
What was Aam Aadmi Party national leader Pankajbai Gupta’s brief in Benaulim during the campaign for the June 23 Benaulim ZP by-poll?

All eyes on Benaulim ZP by-poll as Met dept predicts heavy rains
With the Metrological Department predicting heavy rains on Sunday, questions are doing the rounds in Benaulim countryside over the voter turnout for the Benaulim by-poll. Aam Aadmi Party, however, seemed a confident lot, asserting its party volunteers and well-wishers will come out in large number to cast their vote on Sunday. It’s not clear whether AAP’s confidence stems from the fact that the party had distributed umbrellas to the volunteers during the poll campaign. And, it’s also unclear whether voters can carry the umbrellas with party symbol to the polling booths on polling day. Wait and watch.

The saffron leadership is mum on claims made by AAP and MP Viriatbab Fernandes that the ruling dispensation is fighting a proxy battle. Many a question still remains unanswered as Benaulikars go to the by-polls on Sunday.
