First he was after properties and now paddy fields which people cultivate for their livelihood. Next in line will be the lakes and of course finally River Sal. But kudos to him because his constituents are shameless for electing and supporting him in his evil deeds. His modus operandi is to grab the land and then dole out peanuts as sponsorship to organize tournaments, dramas, meetings where he and his entourage are felicitated and so forth. With this his so called educated constituents are happy to be fooled and be bought by him. He is all set to win the next elections from Navelim constituency and who can bet against him because his electorate are now fully owned by him. Goa and Goans are facing extinction from this planet. If not read the fact below:
MARGAO: PWD Minister Churchill Alemao on Wednesday came under fire from farmers and citizens of Navelim constituency, as they accused him for acquiring paddy fields and has vowed to protect their ancestral agricultural land from destruction.

MARGAO: PWD Minister Churchill Alemao on Wednesday came under fire from farmers and citizens of Navelim constituency, as they accused him for acquiring paddy fields and has vowed to protect their ancestral agricultural land from destruction.
Representatives of farmers from Orlim, Fatrade-Varca, Rawanfond-Navelim, Panchwadi, besides farmers who have been cultivating fields in and around the Saipem lake, asserted that they had all approached the PWD Minister in the past for help and assistance to save their fields, but in vain.
They termed as double standards PWD Minister’s separate statements questioning the district collector over the cultivation of the Rawanfond fields and his assurance to the farmers of Saipem
lake to continue cultivating the fields, notwithstanding the acquisition. Saipem lake farmers told newsmen that they had approached the Chief Minister and the PWD Minister for help, but their pleas were turned down.

“Now, people are confused over Alemao’s statement that the farmers can still cultivate the fields even if they are acquired by the government. We had suggested to the government to freeze the land use, but the government went ahead with the acquisition, indicating a hidden plan to change the land use in the future. Lot of agricultural schemes are doled out, but sadly agricultural land is grabbed on the other side”, remarked Scella Fernandes. She feared that the government decision to acquire Saipem lake fields would displace 150 farmers.
Farmers of Rawanfond-Navelim pointed out they were the first affected group when their fields were acquired without even being served notices. “We had protested and even met the Minister, but to no avail. These fertile fields the Minister have planned to award to the immigrants, which we believe is his vote bank”, said Claudious Fernandes.
Incidentally, farmers from Fatrade-Varca maintained that the Ministers are distributing seeds, fertilizers, but on the other side are snatching their fields. “Fields are being acquired in the village to construct a football ground for a school that stands closed for the last 20 years. We had approached the PWD Minister, but nothing happened. We are under constant fear that the government will snatch our ancestral fields one day”, he said.
“Government has no legal rights to acquire any Communidade property. We will agitate together for a better development and help in maintaining food security and greenery of the state and country, which government and politicians have plans to destroy or landfill the agricultural land and use the same land for their own benefits”, remarked Ida.
