PANJIM: Exposing a major job scam in the health sector, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Adv Amit Palekar claimed that 95 per cent of jobs were given to people from Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant’s Sanquelim Constituency and Health Minister Vishwajit Rane’s Valpoi Constituency respectively.
Palekar also alleged that no process has been followed during the recruitment and the people have been appointed before issuing appointment letters.
Addressing the press conference at International Centre of Goa, Palekar said, “I have a list of candidates, who had applied for the LDC post in GMC and of 105 candidates, 96 candidates are from Sanquelim and Sattari constituencies. Without following any procedure, GMC has already appointed the candidates. This shows massive corruption in the selection process. GMC should be renamed to Sattari Medical College.”
“The IPHB pharmacist list has been released but without name and address of the candidates. AAP will file a complaint with the State’s Vigilance Department into the job scam which clearly shows that talent and marks are not important in Goa any longer,” he said.
Claiming that Sawant dangled 10,000 jobs carrot ahead of the elections, Palekar urged the youth to not fall prey to this carrot.
Adv Palekar in association with Rotary Club of Panaji Riviera and Vision Hospital organised a free cataract detection camp in St Cruz on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Delhi MLA and AAP Goa Desk In-Charge Atishi participated in the Parivartan Yatra held in Fatorda, along with AAP Vice-President Sandesh Telekar Desai and Margao AAP leader Lincoln Vaz.
