RESPONSE: There was more than one article by Aires Rod Castigating Churchill Alemao! Perhaps you missed it? There was another article posted on Goanet which had appeared in the Herald showing the true colours of another South Goa Politician; the man who boasted about being the biggest tax payer in Goa! I guess you missed that one as well; Churchill has instituted a case against the journos who apparently duped him. The matter is with the Police, that is why ostensibly, no action has been taken against him by the powers that be. I guess they are waiting for the law to take its course. There was also a satirical piece by Cecil Pinto on this issue, posted on Goanet and published in the Gomantak times - you missed that one too! There was also a report posted by Godfrey Gonsalves on this same issue, which has created waves in Goa! The other South Goa politico, Luizinho Faleiro, I guess was boasting about him being the highest tax payer in Goa. This back fired, as many people, rightly question, how an almost penniless person with little or no educational qualifications and no leg to stand on, ends up becoming crorepati ! To add fuel to the fire; the Godfather (Churchill) states at a public meeting that unlike the crorepati South Goa MLA, he still remains the same!!?? :-) The opposition Man, Parrikar, was quick on the draw, referring to what was stated by Churchill and pointedly stated that there were many Congress Politicians who became crorepatis, through dubious means.
