In a significant development, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has asked both the Congress backed candidates, Dr. Wilfred A.De Souza of NCP and former MP and sports lover Mr. Churchill Alemao to reconsider their decision to contest against the BJP candidates, Minister for state Shripad Naik and banker Ramakant Angle in the North and South Goa contituencies respectively. In a statement, Vajpayee has openly extented a helping hand to Mr. Alemao and sponsorships to his home club i.e. Churchill Brothers Football Club. He has assured Dr. Willy that there will be day/night security posted at his Saligao residence. Besides taking care and welfare of minorities and his son in-law. Now, the press room is doing overtime as to see the reaction of these two great leaders of Goa. It is very soon expected that these two leaders will accept this offer from the high command in the BJP camp. Hence - the chief minister Mr, Manohar Parrikar is calling a urgent meeting with the selected press-personals to declare that both their candidates be declared as elected unopposed. - Alfonso Bond Braganza ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
