Aam Aadmi Party’s Rozgar Yatra in the state concludes, with 1,12,056 people signing up for AAP’s job guarantee programme.
AAP’s Rozgar Yatra that saw the party take this down to the grassroots of Goa and to every Goan home saw mass participation by Goenkars. During the campaign, AAP held 1700 booth meetings and reached to 2,50,000 Goenkars.
“On the other hand, Sawant government is busy in doing vague announcements like that they will provide 10,000 jobs. This announcement has been peddled and recycled every month and every election with no fruition in site. In current times, there are lakhs of young people looking for employment, and here the Sawant government speaks of 10,000 jobs”, said AAP Goa convener Rahul Mhambre.
He further said, “the biggest issue in Goa has been unemployment. Youth across the state have been demanding jobs which the BJP has been unable to provide the same. Goenkars were hit by a double whammy of the pandemic plus lockdown as many tourism based and allied businesses suffered. Mining which has been closed for years now has added to the stress of mining dependents and average Goenkars. The shameless Sawant Govt which has failed to find jobs or train youth in employable skills tried to blame its failure on youth themselves”.
“Pramod Sawant is playing with Goan youth’s hopes and dreams like a football. He has failed at providing them jobs over these 5 years and is now just trying to distract them,” said Vignesh Apte AAP leader
The party supremo 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 also promised, 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 the 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.
