It was a week when Cuncolim MLA Joaquim Alemao’s son Yuri finally parted ways with the Goa Forward Party headed by their family friend, Vijaibab Sardesai. Yuri’s move was anticipated in political circles as well as by the Goa Forward leadership as the father and son were conspicuous by their absence at Goa Forward programmes in recent days. That Yuri and his supporters had made common cause with Congress leaders at Chandor at the protest against track-doubling a week ago had sent clear indications that it will be a matter of time before the father-son part ways with the Goa Forward. The game has just begun.
