PANJIM: Congress national leader Alka Lamba on Sunday said that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal were making false promises of providing employment, if voted to power, in Goa.
Addressing a press conference at Congress House, here, in presence of Goa Pradesh Mahila Congress Committee President Beena Naik, Mahila State Office bearer Sonal Malvankar and South District Committee Secretary Architect Royla Fernandes, Alka said that the unemployment rate in Delhi is higher than the national unemployment rate by 23.5 per cent.

She said that Kejriwal was on the spree of spreading ‘lies’ in Goa and cautioned people of Goa against getting cheated by him.
She said that when she landed at Goa Airport, the entire national highway was dotted with the hoardings of Chief Minister of Delhi and Chief Minister of West Bengal. “Where are the locals in these hoardings? Where is the face of Goa on these hoardings?,” she questioned.
“Will these two parties (AAP and TMC) rule Goa by sitting in Delhi and West Bengal? Can Goa be an experimental laboratory for both of these parties?,” Alka added.
She pointed out that Delhi government has spent Rs 940 crore only on the advertisements related to the pollution while it has no details of how much has been invested to control the pollution.
Alka said that the people of Delhi were suffering due to rampant pollution and if the money was spent wisely, for the service of the people, the people of Delhi would not have suffered.
She alleged that the AAP is spending the tax payers’ money lavishly on promoting themselves.
Sharing a Tweet by Prof Sujata, Lamba said that while Kejriwal has been making promises in the State like Goa and Gujarat, his government is yet to release payment of many administrators of the schools and colleges in his own jurisdiction.
She stressed that Arvind Kejriwal is fooling the Goan youth, by saying, if we come to power, we will give doles, but here in Delhi they are in power, and have still not given anything to the unemployed and to the people of Delhi. Why unemployed Delhi youth are not given same doles? She questioned.
Alka said that the crime rate against women in Delhi has risen by 63 per cent making the place unsafe.
