MARGAO Congress Quepem MLA Alton D'Costa created a flutter on Sunday when he said that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant had been frantically looking out for him, but hastened to add that the future can be decided at a later stage.

What further triggered laughter in the audience were Alton's comments that if he can do so many works in Quepem by being in the opposition, just imagine the number of works that would have taken place in the constituency if he was in the ruling.

He was addressing the gathering at the inauguration of the Panchayat building of Naqueri-Betul on Sunday by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant at Betul. "The basic needs of the people of Quepem are getting fulfilled. Chief Minister Sir, I do not want to say anything on this BJP government. Sir, was trying to find me, but we can decide this at a later stage," a smiling Alton said.
