Mr. Manohar Parrikar was an invincible candidate of Panaji due to his charisma spread in the constituency but now since he is not there and people have already shown the BJP the backdoor by making the Babush Panel victorious in the Municipal election, perhaps makes Babush feel more confident about winning 2017 from the capital city of Goa.
