What’s Varca strongman Bab Churchill up to is a question being asked by his ardent soccer fans? Reason: The Red Machines has “provisionally” topped the I-League table after a draw in their last encounter against Real Kashmir. That, however, did not stop Churchillbab, besides players and fans to celebrate the victory and entry into the ISL Club. Political observers and fans wonder what if Churchillbab is not declared the winners of I-League. Wait till the weekend as the All India Football Federation (AIFF) is expected to meet during the weekend to decide the fate of Inter Kashi-Namdhari FC Punjab I-League match. Churchillbab, however, seemed working to a plan. Wait and watch.
Churchill scores political goal with CM’s ‘congratulatory’ gesture
Patron of Churchill Brothers SC Churchillbab Alemao was apparently pleased when he called on Chief Minister Pramodbab Sawant, a day after provisionally topping the I-League title. After the meeting, Churchillbab was quick to go to the media to state that the CM has congratulated his team for winning the I-League title, profusely thanking Pramodbab for his gesture. No one knows better than Churchillbab how significant is Chief Minister’s congratulatory message for his football team, more so when the AIFF is expected to give its verdict during the weekend on the I-League match between Inter Kashi and Namdhari FC. Any questions?
Laughter breaks out as WRD Min forgets CM’s name mid-speech
Water Resources Department (WRD) Minister Subhashbab Shirodkar was the cynosure of all eyes at the inauguration of the multi-purpose cyclone shelter at Margao during the weekend, but for a different reason. In fact, laughter erupted when the WRD Minister rose to address the programme when he virtually went blank while addressing Chief Minister Pramodbab Sawant. For, a couple of seconds, Subhashbab could not take the CM’s name. Neither the CM nor the WRD Minister could control their laughter. Interesting, isn’t it?
BJP sets sights on 40, Reginaldo walks the tightrope with ease
Curtorim Independent MLA Reginaldbab Lourenco seemed to have handled BJP State president Damubab Naik’s statement to contest elections in all the 40 Assembly constituencies in 2027 in his inimitable fashion. With the media seeking to know his stand on Damubab’s statement, the seasoned politician wriggled himself out of the situation without causing any embarrassment to the saffron brigade or his voters who seemed to have had reservations for extending support to the BJP. None other than Reginaldbab knows for sure that the time is not ripe to flex muscles with still 22 months to go for the 2027 polls. Any questions?
Who’s calling the shots? BJP MLA accused of shielding beach hawkers
Guess the name of the ruling BJP MLA, who seemed hell bent in sabotaging the drive against illegal beach hawkers and vendors along Saxtti’s beach belt? Well, if sources are to be believed, this ruling MLA seemed telephoning all and sundry with a plea to go slow in the drive against migrant beach hawkers. Guess what’s the interest of this politician in scuttling the anti-hawking drives against the migrant woman? No prizes for the right answer. For, the migrants form part of the vote bank of this ruling MLA. Any questions?
