Let the people decide whether they want my daughter as an MP or not. I am going to the people. It is for the people to decide, he said. But, when newsmen asked whether he had no other leader in the Save Goa Front, who could have been a Lok Sabha candidate, Alemao shot back people from all over Goa approach my family members for any help or work. That time, you do not ask why the Alemao family is working or helping the people. Reiterating that theres no compromise with his decision to field Valanka for the Mormugao Lok Sabha seat, Alemao said All I say is that Valanka is contesting the bye-polls. You will come to know in due course of time which ticket she would contest. He said Valanka is keen to contest the bye-polls and show her ability to serve the people. Incidentally, besides Churchill, his younger brother Joaquim is enjoying political power as the Urban Development Minister in the Kamat government. His nephew, Reagan Alemao was recently elected as Panch member of the Varca village panchayat. His younger brother Kennedy Alemao was a member of the Zilla Panchayat during the last term. http://oheraldo.in/pagedetails.asp?nid=617&cid=26 Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
