He is the vice president of the party as well as the chairman of the greater Panaji PDA. This is the second time Babush is contesting as an independent.

Last time, in 2017, he had lost against former BJP MLA Siddharth Kunkolkar. But did not contest when Manohar Parrikar came back and a by-election was held.

He started ruling Taleigao, dethroning Somnath Juwarkar and then shifted to St Cruz, making his wife Jennifer the Taleigao MLA. Listen to what he told Goa365 on phone.

Goa Forward general secretary Mohandas Lolienkar said Babush is leaving because party has taken a firm stand not to contest against their alliance partner – the BJP. He has also wished him all the best in his future political journey. 

सध्या तो पक्षाचो उपाध्यक्ष आसा आनी ग्रेटर पणजी पीडीएचो अध्यक्षय आसा.

पणजेच्यान उबो रावपाची बाबुशाची ही दुसरी खेप. फाटले खेपे 2017 चे विधानसभा वेंचणुकेंत तो भाजपाचो आदलो आमदार सिद्धार्थ कुंकळ्ळकाराआड हारिल्लो.

मागीर परत मनोहर पर्रीकार गोंयांत आयलो तेन्ना ताणे पोटवेंचणूक लढोवंक नाशिल्ली. सोमनाथ जुवारकाराची मक्तेदारी सोंपोवन तो ताळगांवचो आमदार जाल्लो.

उपरांत घरकान्न जेनिफराकडेन ताळगांव सोंपोवन तो सांताक्रूझाचो आमदार जाल्लो. आतां ताची नदर आसा गोंयचे राजधानीचेर. 

गोवा फॉरवर्डाचो सरचिटणीस मोहनदास लोलयेंकार म्हणटा बाबूश पक्ष सोडटा कारण युती सरकारांत आशिल्ल्या भाजपाआड वेंचणूक लढोवप ना हो पक्षाचो निर्णय आसा.

बाबुशाचे फुडले राजकी कारकिर्दीखातीर ताणे ताका परबींय दिल्यांत.

बाबुशान पक्ष सोडपाचें थारायलां खरें. पूण फाटोफाट तो पणजे पीडीएचें अध्यक्षपदय सोडटलो? पळोवया कितें करता तो.
