PANJIM: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Campaign Committee Chairman Dayanand Narvekar addressed a corner meeting in the villages of Carona and Goljuem in the Aldona constituency on Monday. He projected how unlike Delhi government, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government failed to provide the basic facilities to the people.
Narvekar said, “Goa gained freedom from Portuguese in 1961. After 60 years of liberation, Goans continue to demand good roads, uninterrupted power, and safe water supplies.”
“The Delhi government, on the other hand, has provided uninterrupted power and water supply, good health and education facilities within six years of its rule,” said Narvekar.
He said that the recent job scam clearly shows that talent and marks are not important in Goa. “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,” said Narvekar.
He claimed AAP will ensure that only the deserving people will get jobs in the State government. “The entire job recruitment in the government sector would be made transparent and accountable,” said Narvekar.
He said, “The Sawant government had been sleeping for five years but when Kejriwal promised employment guarantees to Goans, they woke up and dangled the 10,000 jobs carrot before elections and failed to provide it.”
"Unlike the Sawant government, Kejriwal never makes fake promises. If AAP is voted to power, we will ensure that 80% of jobs, including in the private sector, will be reserved for local people. We will also bring legislation prioritising jobs for the people dependent on mining in the mining industry once it resumes,” he added.
