THE REALITY OF CHURCHILL ALEMAO by Anonymous

THIS IS AN ARTICLE (COMMENT) IN RESPONSE TO CANDIDATURE OF VALANKA ALEMAO by Assumption Fernandes

This is Churchill's Trick he will put everything on Benaulim people; I am from Benaulim we never said to her to lead us, these people who came there on the office inauguration were hired ones. This is the same office that churchill himself stoned in the night and the next day put the blame on Pinto to get sympathy.

Remember??? This Assumption does not know anything.... Churchill Alemao putting his foot in his mouth by calling Goans squealing pigs. The comment was made in the context of public outrage against his support to the Raheja mega housing project in Carmona. Churchill Alemao shed crocodile tears for the thousand odd builders in Goa who he claimed were very distressed because of the opposition to all housing projects. His statement confirms that Goan politicians, not excluding Chief Minister Digamber Kamat, do not care for the vote of Goans as they are confident of getting elected and re-elected by pampering the minority Muslims and the migrants, whose population is reported to have crossed 50% of the total voting population of Goa. As in the case of the Chief Minister’s constituency Margao, the Navelim constituency also has a large number of migrant and Scheduled Tribe votes.

But Churchill has not only antagonised the people of his constituency, but the entire South Goa if not the whole of Goa by his disparaging comments that Goans are squealing pigs. The NGOs and village level organisations promptly responded by dressing up a pig in a suit and calling it Churchill and parading it throughout South Goa, particularly in Churchill’s home village of Varca and his Navelim constituency. It is obvious that Churchill has made a great miscalculation because of his greed for money. His concern for builders is not born out of any concern for development, but how the stoppage of mega housing projects will affect the migrant vote bank, which Churchill himself has estimated at over Rs. Two lakhs in South Goa alone.

Obviously, Churchill has already got a major kickback from the Rahejas and has sent out a signal to other builders that he would take up their cause if they are willing to finance his next election and his ongoing requirements. I understand that Musli Power, the manufacturers of which are none to happy with Churchill Brothers, will be replaced by the Rahejas as the sponsors of Churchill Brothers football team. But by calling his constituents squealing pigs, Churchill has dug his own political grave as the people of any constituency that he contests from are unlikely to forget the insult.
