Strange are the ways of the functioning of the Congress party. In 2017, the Congress had denied tickets to heavy weights, Joaquimbab Alemao and Aleixobab Sequeira to make way for the young blood in the party. While Aleixobab had virtually announced his retirement from active politics, Joaquimbab had rebelled and contested the 2017 polls as an Independent. Come Saturday and Joaquimbab will be back in the Congress fold with son Yuri. Even before they returned to the party fold, the Joaquim-Yuri duo has been considered strong contenders for the Congress ticket for Cuncolim. And, so is Aleixobab for the Nuvem seat.
