The Aam Aadmi Party ‘Rozgar Yatra’ pulled crowds at Canacona. The Yatra which has been crisscrossing the state was in Canacona today and was attended by 100s of volunteers followed by large Booth level meetings. The Yatra pulled 100s of residents who registered for Kejriwals Job Guarantee.
Canacona has faced a lot of problems in the recent past. Common Goenkars are not getting employed. The sitting MLA switched from Congress to BJP promising development but he has developed only his pocket. Canacona is highly dependent on Tourism which has been adversely affected by the Pandemic and lockdown. Families dependent on the industry have been facing a huge crunch and have not been make ends meet. The BJP Govt and MLA were missing in action during this time leaving residents to fend for themselves. Closure of mining has also worsened the unemployment crisis, as many locals used to work on barges transporting iron-ore. On top of that residents have not forgotten that the local MLA got a job for his son with a fake certificate.
Many Goenkars want to know more about the Kejriwal model of Employment as they are already impressed by the Kejriwal model of electricity, school and healthcare amongst other things. The Aam Aadmi Party in Goa has been aggressively reaching out to the grassroots where Goenkars are welcoming the Kejriwal model as the only alternative in Goa for the future. Goan youth are tired of being cheated of jobs and are excited that AAP will bring transparency to the recruitment process. Goenkars are trusting AAP as not only has the party promised jobs but also financial support till they get jobs and skill learning via a Skill University
Arvind Kejriwal in his visit to Goa last month had announced his guarantee of providing employment to every youth when the Aam Aadmi Party government is formed in the state. He had promised that every youth will be given employment and Rs 3,000 per month till the employment is provided. Kejriwal announced that 80 percent of jobs in the private sector will be reserved for the youth of Goa. Rs 5,000 would be provided monthly to families who lost employment due to shutdown of tourism and mining. AAP Government will further establish a Skill University in Goa on the lines of Delhi’s DSEU. AAP will bring an end to nepotism in government jobs in Goa and the jobs will be made available to the common man
“‘The present MLA has not supported the people of Canacona. He has abandoned them in their time of need. The youth of Canacona believe in Arvind Kejriwal. The residents of Canacona are excited that Rs 5,000 would be provided monthly to families who lost employment due to the shutdown of tourism and mining’ as so far only AAP has provided a plan for supporting them , said Anup Kudtarkar, AAP Canacona Assembly Incharge.
