Speaking to the media persons he also said that talks with regard to an alliance for the upcoming elections are still in progress.
“I am of the opinion of an alliance. There is a need for an alliance for the next assembly elections which are very near,” said Churchill.
Reportedly, Benaulim MLA had asked his party leaders to decide on ties with Congress party by October end, which ended long back. However, he is still waiting for the decision.
He had even declared that his daughter Valanka Alemao will contest from Navelim irrespective of an alliance.
