PANJIM: The Congress has slammed the State government for withdrawing all the advertisements issued for filling up various posts in various departments. “The government is playing with the sentiments of unemployed youths,” a party spokesman said.
Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) President Girish Chodankar on Tuesday said that the chief minister’s directions to withdraw all advertisements issued by various departments for filling up vacancies is nothing but an act of playing with the sentiments of thousands of unemployed Goan youth and the emotions of their parents and dependents.
“The government just showed the ‘carrot of jobs’ to the unemployed youth of Goa in the last two years, first keeping an eye on the Lok Sabha elections and now post new government formation. The truth is, BJP is not interested in providing employment to anyone with government jobs,” he charged.
The Congress cautioned the government against playing with the sentiments of the people, especially with the livelihood of the youth as it could lead to unprecedented unrest.
Chodankar also took a dig at the government over its false promises given to the mining dependants regarding resumption of mining, terming it as another gimmick of the BJP, in line with the fake promises given by their central leaders of getting back black money and depositing Rs 15 lakh each in citizen’s account.
He further added that the BJP government has pushed the Goan economy into the debt trap and that they don’t even have money to pay the needy beneficiaries of social welfare schemes in time.
