Former Deputy Chief Minister Chandrakant “Babu” Kavlekar has been involved in discussions and political events recently, focusing on local concerns and his political role within Goa. Known for his significant influence in the Quepem constituency, Kavlekar has been an active figure even after his tenure as Deputy CM, particularly following his transition from the Congress to the BJP in 2019. He has often found himself amidst rivalries, notably with MLA Subhash Phal Dessai, who previously accused him of working against the BJP’s interests—a claim Kavlekar and his supporters have publicly dismissed.
