-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | Goanetters annual meet in Goa is scheduled for Dec 27, 2005 @ 4pm | | | |The Riviera Opposite Hotel Mandovi, Panjim (near Ferry Jetty/Riverfront)| | Attending.......drop a line to [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It will be impossible for our South Goa MP, Mr. Churchill Alemao, to wriggle out of the recent video sting in which he was caught in the act of negotiating a slice for a project under the MPLAD Scheme.
His recent statement that his knowledge of English is poor and that all his education was in Portuguese may not be of any aid as a defense. His clarification that he had not called Goans "rascals" but had called the MPLAD scheme a rascal is just an addition to Mr. Alemao's known role as a wit and will come as no surprise, it coming from Churchill. Only this time he has gone to the extent of personifying a government scheme. Churchill will fool no one by claiming innocence on grounds of lack of education. Today the less educated you are the more prosperous and successful you are in Politics. The current ground reality is that money and muscle power rules the roost and no one knows this better than Churchill Alemao. Like any other accused politician, Churchill will attempt any defence including a tape he claims will prove his innocence. Will he offer to take a lie detector test? Regardless of all his stunts the feisty MP of South Goa who is also one of Goa's ex-Chief Ministers may not escape his expulsion from the Lok Sabha in the New Year. Unfortunately even with all his Portuguese education, it may be too late to send him as India's ambassador to Portugal.
