The party, through a press statement, claimed that people gathered at Mahasabha expressed that the AAP is the only party which will bring a change in the State and will provide honest governance. They also said that Palekar will change the fate of Goans by working for common people.
Palekar alleged that no process has been followed during recruitment and that people have been appointed before appointment letters are issued. He also claimed that 95 per cent of the jobs were given to people from Chief Minister Pramod Sawant’s Sakhali constituency and Health Minister Vishwajit Rane’s Valpoi constituency.
“If AAP is elected to power, these thieves will be punished so severely that no one will dare to make money from people in the future and our government will get your money back from them,” said Palekar.
“The recent job scam clearly shows that talent and marks are not important in Goa any longer. Getting a government job is not easy as it seems. It requires bribery or having a kinship or friendship with a minister. It may change, if all Goans come together and vote for an honest party like AAP”, he added.
