PANJIM: Downplaying the internal wrangling, GPCC president Subhash Shirodkar yesterday ruled out any disciplinary action against PWD Minister Churchill Alemao and Urban Development Minister Joaquim for their outbursts against the government.
Shirodkar likened the war of words between the Alemao brothers and Tourism Minister Mickky Pacheco to that of a quarrel between two families. He said the tantrums thrown on the Congress would not have any repercussion on the voters.
Churchill and his brother Joaquim had threatened to quit the Congress if the party leadership failed to resolve the issue of disqualification petition filed against the former, even as the duo appealed for support to party candidate Francisco Sardinha.
Shirodkar said that the Alemao brothers were working for the victory of Sardinha.
Asked whether he would accept the resignations of Alemao brothers, Shirodkar said that he was yet to receive the letter.
The GPCC president said that the revamping of the Congress organisation in the last six months would yield results in the Lok Sabha elections.
However, Chief Minister Digambar Kamat who was also present said that his main aim was to win the elections. “We have gone in the battlefield with the sole intention of winning both the seats. Our aim is to see that we win both the seats with sizeable votes. My target is to win the seats,” Kamat said.
Recalling a scene from the epic Mahabharata, the Chief Minister said, “I am just aiming at the eye of the bird like what Arjun said in Mahabharata,” That is my target, he added.
