PANJIM: Impressed by youth policies of the Aam Aadmi Party, more than 40 youth from Canacona joined the party at an event held recently at Pollem, Canacona in the presence of AAP Canacona leader and panch member Anup Kudtarkar, AAP leader Dr Vibhas Prabhudesai, AAP General Secretary and youth wing in-charge Hanzel Fernandes, AAP South Goa Youth President Johan Vernekar and Vice President Vaibhav Phaldessai.
Hanzel Fernandes shared his experience about taking on a political satrap Churchill Alemao, whose candidate Hanzel had defeated in the last Zilla Parishad elections in 2020.
The BJP and Congress have cheated the youth of Goa with fake promises and today the youth of India can see a ray of hope in AAP only because of AAP’s pro-youth policies. This was best epitomised by Arvind Kejriwal's announcement on a job guarantee for Goa's youth where he has promised a job for every family along with support such as a Skill University, and also financial support till employment, the party stated in a press release.
The Cancacona team also took out a symbolic protest against the pothole laden roads in Canacona. The team lit candles around the potholes to mark their protest.
AAP leader Anup also pointed out to potholes which were in the dark spots due to broken and unmaintained streetlights across the bypass road.
“The youth of Goa are the powerhouse of the State and betterment of youth means betterment of the State and nation. Today the youth of Goa have realised that the BJP and Congress have taken them for a ride. They have no good roads, schools, healthcare and no jobs as well,” Anup said.
“Goan youth are some of the most talented in the world, but we have been denied the support to achieve our dreams. Today Arvind Kejriwal has provided a way forward not just for the youth but for all of Goa,” said Hanzel, AAP’s Zilla Parishad member of Benaulim.
“The BJP and Congress have always used the youth as a political campaign weapon but after elections the youth have been heavily ignored by subsequent governments,” said Dr Vibhas.
