Goans beware of power hungry politicians

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLA Churchill Alemao whilst addressing the media persons at his Varca office has reportedly said that the NCP will demand 8 seats if there is an alliance with the Congress in the upcoming assembly elections. 

He claims that the NCP has urged the Congress to share the seats of Nuvem, Benaulim, Velim and other few similar places or else his party would be forced to put up candidates even in Curtorim, besides other constituencies. 

He has also threatened of putting up his own daughter Valanka Alemao against Congress MLA Luizinho Faleiro in Navelim if the Congress finally refuses to have any alliance with the NCP. 

The reason why Churchill wants NCP to selectively put up candidates in a few strongholds of the Congress is only to split the secular votes and to somehow help the BJP. 

Inwardly, he doesn't wants the Congress nor the NCP to form the  government but all he wants is he alone should somehow win his lone Benaulim seat and get a nice reward from the BJP for successfully splitting the secular votes.
