I have not taken a rupee from anyone
If Valanka does not get a congress ticket, she will still contest
Herald: Irregularities have been committed in the distribution of water tanks according to the opposition. Was the cabinet involved in the scheme? Was a scheme finalized?
Churchill: Look, as a minister, I take decisions which benefit the people. I have given two cylinders and a stove to the needy. Is that a scam too? Goa is facing huge power shortage. So there is no water. These tanks will help people store water and meet their needs. So what’s wrong?
Herald: So are you saying there are no irregularities?
Churchill: There is nothing wrong done. People know Churchill is strong and can win any election on his own. I have 3000 votes in every constituency in Goa.  Because of me, Karl Vaz lost the last elections, so did Dr Wilfred D Souza.  In both these constituencies we got about 2900 votes. I can enter anywhere and I will win.
Herald: In that case, you should have a say in ticket distribution.
Churchill: The High Command knows my value. I will give suggestions.
Herald: Will that also include a ticket for Valanka from Benaulim? And if you field her anyway, that would breach party discipline
Churchill: My daughter will contest the elections even if she does not get a Congress party ticket. That is decided.
Herald: Why is there talk of so much corruption in the PWD?
Churchill: Let anyone prove if I have taken a single rupee from anyone. I have performed and no one can take this portfolio away from me. If anyone touches P or W or D of PWD, I am out.
Herald: Out?? Meaning.
Churchill: I will decide what to do.
Herald: Is there a possibility of some kind of an understanding between you and your arch rival Mickky Pacheco before the elections
Churchill: He recently came to a function and the press took photographs. He is an MLA and if any MLA has any requirement from my department I will help out. That’s what I did. Nothing else.
