PANJIM: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Amit Palekar challenged the Health Minister Vishwajit Rane for a debate on irregularities in the health sector recruitment following the latter’s denial to the allegation brought forwards by Arvind Kejriwal’s party. He stated that the matter is sub judice and all the jobs were given on merit.
Reacting to it Palekar said, “I challenge Vishwajit Rane to select the venue and forum to debate irregularities in the health sector recruitment. I am prepared to provide evidences of scams in the health sector.”
Palekar said, “Every citizen is entitled to government jobs and therefore they should be given on merit. Government jobs aren’t the government’s property that they can hand out to their MLAs. Every Goan who is on merit should be given government jobs.”
He further said, “A few months ago, the CM announced 10 thousand jobs ahead of the election and has failed to deliver. Now, he announced 30000 jobs in the next five years. The BJP government is a scam company. Even the HC took the cognisance of this job scam. It is high time that people come forward and ask difficult questions to its government.”
“Although there are video evidences of the scam, CM Sawant has not taken any action and has not uttered a word. This shows he is scared of the Health Minister and losing his seat in,” he added.
