In a surprise visit to the Mapusa district hospital, Aam Aadmi Party's Goa convener Rahul Mhambre exposed the irregularities being carried out in the health sector recruitment.
Addressing the media on Sunday Mhambre said, "around 300 candidates showed up at Mapusa district hospital to collect fitness certificates for the jobs in the health department. Interestingly, all 300 candidates were from the Health Minister’s constituency. This is another example of job scams in the health sector".
"Despite unemployment being a major issue in the Mapusa, MLA Joshua D'Souza never paid attention to it. He should have raised his voice against such practices as a Mapusa MLA", he said.
"It is wrong that government jobs are being given to people from the particular constituency. This problem should be addressed by CM Sawant, Mapusa MLA and the BJP. On one hand, the BJP touts 'Sabka saath, sabka vikas', while on the other hand, their own ministers are giving jobs to specific people", he added.
He further said, "it is time for a change and that is why voters ought to give AAP a chance. The AAP has promised 80 percent reservation for locals in the private sector, employment to every household, and unemployment allowance until the unemployed get hired".
Earlier AAP leader Adv Amit Palekar had exposed a major job scam in the health sector by claiming that 95 per cent of jobs were given to people from Sawant’s Sakhali constituency and Health Minister’s Sattari constituency.
Palekar has also alleged that no process had been followed during their recruitment and that people had been appointed before appointment letters were issued.
