Margao: The storm over the demand for a change in guard in the Margao municipal council (MMC) has blown over. With the minister for town and country planning (TCP), Vijai Sardesai, succeeding in quelling any rebellion among the councillors from the ruling panel, chairperson Babita Angle Prabhudessai is firmly safe in the saddle.
Last week, 9 councillors of the Sardesai-controlled group met the Fatorda MLA to voice their disapproval over the "style of functioning" of the chairperson and demanded her ouster. Sardesai aptly defused the crisis by assuring the disgruntled group of resolving their issues. She dismissed any threat to her post, attributing the development to "some minor misunderstandings" among councillors.
