The Aam Aadmi Party has been reaching out to the grassroots of Goa with Arvind Kejriwal’s job guarantee in the State, according to a press note.
In the press note, AAP states that party leaders in Navelim, Quepem and Pernem have been aggressively meeting residents to both hear their problems and take the message of AAP to the grassroots.
In the press note, AAP states that in Pernem, the AAP team visited the residents of Dhargal and were explained that the party will not only ensure transparency in getting jobs for Goenkars but will also ensure each family gets Rs 3,000 per month till they get jobs.
While in Quepem, residents who met AAP Goa Joint Secretary Raul Perreira, especially women, were angry with the government for failing to support them during the pandemic. AAP has been aggressively holding corner meets in Quepem where they are reaching out to residents in both the urban and rural areas, states the press note.
AAP Goa Vice President, Adv Pratima Coutinho who has also been going house to house and meeting residents of Navelim have expressed their warm support to her. Navelim youth who are very concerned about jobs were happy to hear that AAP was not only promising jobs but providing support till they found jobs, the press note states.
“The residents of Navelim have warmly been receiving me as they know I am one of their own and have seen me work hard for them. Many of them are angry with the Congress and have told me that they expect only AAP to stand by them. Over the past week I have met shopkeepers, gadda owners, women self-help groups, taxikars and bike pilots,” stated Adv Coutinho.
“The residents of Quepem have tried both BJP and Congress and are frustrated with them. The last time they voted for Congress, Babu Kavlekar jumped to the BJP. He claimed it was for development but there has been no development in Goa. They now say that they only believe in AAP,” stated Raul Perreira.
“Goenkars have welcomed AAP with open arms wherever we go to meet them. They know that AAP is the only party on the ground standing with them,” Rahul Mhambre, AAP Goa convenor added.
