13 months ahead of assembly election in Goa, Kangress high command has asked Churchill Alemao and Luizinho Faleiro to contest in the upcoming election from Benaulim and Navelim respectively. This directive has cleared deck for Luizinho to return back to local politics and closed the doors to Churchill's daughter Valanca who was aspiring for Kangress ticket in Benaulim. The above directive comes without suggesting any nomination to the post of party president. One faction within Kangress wants party president to be representative of minority community, while other faction including Digu is supporting re-appointment of Subhash Shirodkar.
In the yet another latest development, Micky Pacheco is tipped to be included back into ministry and his name is cleared for contesting from newly formed Nuvem constituency by his party president. As a result, Micky has started widening his base and popularity in Nuvem, while Valanca has closed her newly opened shop (!) in Benaulim for past 1 month - looks like this breaking news, as reported in Tarun Bharat dated 26th Nov 2010, has broken the hearts of Alemao family.
