Political Patrao is your weekly political masala service from the villages, towns, political and government offi ces. But the “political patrao”, isn’t a gossip monger or gossip collector. The items served are based on fact and seasoned with political interpretation to give you a head-start during weekend chat sessions
This is how the Alemaos ‘jam’ opposition
Why do mobiles go unreachable at Alemao mansion in Varca.Nextgen Alemao, Warren told Political Patrao that there are mobile jammers inthe premises that allow only members of the Family to make calls. This is eversince the Tehelka sting operation on the cash for questions scam, shook the family. Political Patrao noticedhalf a dozen CCTVs and even a couple of security guards at Alemao Mansion. Afar cry from the free-for-all home that became the hub of Salcette and evenGoan politics.
The government ‘servant’
If you thought that out of power meant that faithfuls hadabandoned former PWD Minister Churchill Alemao then think again. A certainPanchayat Secretary for Seraulim has been a perennial presence at his oldmasters side. This Panchayat Secretary and a host of young PanchayatSecretaries were recruited a couple of years back as an understanding betweenformer Panchayat Minister Babu Azgaonkar and Alemao. Lucky ones include theSeraulim Panchayat Secretary and even the former Navelim Panchayat Secretarywho has now been transferred to Varca. These ‘servants’ now take good care oftheir former master.
The real independent

On his Independence day stroll through Duler, Political Patraodiscovered that the former Aldona MLA had hoisted the Indian Tricolour upsidedown outside his residence. The flag was abandoned and flying till 2 pm whensomeone noticed. It was promptly set right.

Inthe news letter, the police admittedthat it was “ashamed” that had “falsely implicated “Israeli national” Dudu forpossessing narcotics but issued out onother “shames”
Not an "intelligent" move
But the best of the gaffe is of two Local IntelligenceBureau (LIB) constables from North District getting awarded for being best LIBofficer.
Both these constables are attached to Old Goa Police Stationjust a stone’s throw away from Museum of Christian Art where six months laterpriceless antiques and treasures have not been recovered. By the way both havebeen either been implicated of corruption charges or are facing departmentalinquiry about the same.
