........................................................................ Reginald worked against me, proof on Churchill yet to come: Sardinha HERALD REPORTER MARGAO, APRIL 23 The ghost of anti-party activity has come to haunt the Congress, with South Goa Candidate, Francisco Sardinha accusing his bete noire and Curtorim MLA Reginaldo Lourenco of working against him in the elections. “The Curtorim MLA has not worked for my candidature. We have concrete information that they have told the voters to vote for the UGDP or the BJP,” he asserted. About PWD Minister Churchill Alemao, Sardinha said many people have told him that Alemao has worked against him, “but the proof is yet to come.” He replied in the positive when asked whether he would complain to the party leadership against the Curtorim MLA. It is learnt that Sardinha had few days ago drew the attention of the party leadership including Chief Minister Digambar Kamat and GPCC President Subhash Shirodkar over Reginaldo’s anti-party activity. However, sources in the know say both Kamat and Shirodkar advised Sardinha to have patience and not to rake up the issue, promising to look into the complaint after the polls. Post mortem after results: Subhash GPCC President Subhash Shirodkar has said the party leadership will do a post mortem of the poll results and sabotage by party leaders, if any, only after May 16. “Let the results come out first. Action, if any, against any party leader will follow only after a post mortem,” he said. When newsmen asked Chief Minister Digambar Kamat why the party is down playing the open sabotage by some party leaders, he dogged the question saying it is for the party president to answer. Newsmen had asked chief minister whether any action will be initiated against PWD Minister Churchill Alemao, besides Curtorim MLA Reginaldo Lourenco following reports that the duo did not work whole heartedly for the Congress candidate. http://oheraldo.in/pagedetails.asp?nid=20690&cid=2
