Goa earns 2nd spot in unemployment: Digambar blasts govt

It is high time that Chief Minister announces economic revival package to boost marginalised sector. If the government fails to take note of the situation, next month Goa will be on top of the unemployment chart

Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat has said the data released by Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy ranking Goa as 2nd in unemployment is one more feather in the cap of BJP government headed by Chief Minister Pramod Sawant. 

He said the directionless BJP government has pushed Goa into financial bankruptcy & economic disaster since grabbing power in 2012, asserting the BJP government must now stop fooling & start fulfilling the promises given to the people of Goa.

“The data released by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) has once again exposed the false claims of the BJP government on employment in the State. This is a tight slap on the face of all those who are carrying out false propaganda of creating job opportunities to youth in Goa," charged Digambar Kamat. 

The Opposition leader said the BJP Government has finished the employment opportunities one after the other after grabbing power in 2012. They stopped mining activities in Goa, did not take any pro-active steps to boost tourism, shelved the Goa Vision-2035 report and also failed to revive the economy, he added.

“The performance report of the BJP Government from 2012 is reflected in the 21 Cases of Corruption and Illegalities ordered for Investigation by the former Lokayukta of Goa. Besides this they don’t have a single achievement to show”, he added.

Saying the Chief Minister finally agreed to his suggestion to implement Goemcho Daiz Scheme, Kamat demanded that he must immediately accept and start implementing "Goa Vision-2035" document which can actually create employment opportunities and revive economy.

“It is high time that Chief Minister announces economic revival package to boost marginalised sector. If the government fails to take note of the situation, next month Goa will be on top of the unemployment chart”, Kamat added.
