The Aam Aadmi Party’s Rozgar Yatra hit the St.Andre constituency. The Yatra started at Curca bridge and then went on to meetings at CUrca Ground, Batim & Azzossim and was received by residents. The booth level meetings were attended by 100s of residents who also got themselves registered for Kejriwal’s Job Guarantee.
During the last elections the sitting MLA Francisco Silveira betrayed the trust of the people by switching over sides from the Congress to the BJP. Even though today he is in the ruling party, no development has happened. The Youth of St Andre still don’t have jobs. In St. Andre the rate of unemployment is high. The MLA has not provided any support to the traditional occupations, especially during the Pandemic. Plenty of the residents are Taxikars. Due to the Pandemic they have lost livelihood and have received zero support from the BJP Govt. These families appreciate the initiative of Rs.5000 as support which Arvind Kejriwal has announced for those impacted by the tourism slowdown. They have confidence, as AAP in Delhi provided the same support to the Taxi drivers there. The youth here are impressed by Arvind Kejriwal’s idea of 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 St.Andre Yatra was flagged by Namdev Mashelkar, AAP Goa St. Andre Assembly Incharge. “The youth of St. Andre are very dejected as the MLA here has not cared about their employment. Money power is the only way one can get government employment apart from being the chamcha of an MLA. AAP will ensure that there will be no distinction and will provide equal opportunities to all Goenkars. Residents are excited about Arvind Kejriwal’s promise that if AAP is brought to power, every youth will be given employment and till the employment is not provided, one youth of every family will be given Rs.3000 per month. Youth are also very supportive of Arvind Kejriwal’s promise that 80 percent reservation of jobs in the private sector will be reserved for the youth of Goa. In addition, Rs.5000 would be provided monthly to families who lost employment due to shutdown of tourism. Arvind Kejriwal is known to be a man who does what he says”.
