He was speaking at a public meeting of AAP at Desainagar-Sakhali late Sunday evening. 
AAP chief ministerial candidate Elvis Gomes, Dr Oscar Rebello, other candidates Adv Ajitsingh Rane, Milind Gawas, Dr Dattaram Desai, Devendra Prabhudesai, Pradeep Ghadi Amonkar, Shivanand Pilarnkar, Sitaram Gawas, Sainath Palekar, Dinesh Waghela and Priya Malik were present.   
Speaking further, Kejriwal said AAP has prepared a blue print to provide about 50,000 jobs to unemployed youth in Goa if AAP comes to power.   
“AAP plans to bring big industrial projects which can employ 80% Goan unemployed youth. AAP will give unemployment allowance of Rs 5,000 per month per person, besides old age pension of Rs 3,000 per month, Rs 3,000 under Griha Aadhar Yojana and Rs 400 crore to mining affected components for their rehabilitation,” said Kejriwal.   
He said AAP would contest in all the 40 constituencies, 36 candidates have been declared and there will be a miracle in Goa like Delhi by winning almost all the seats.   
He further said if he at all comes to know that any candidate from the selected is corrupt even before 24 hours of election, he will dismiss his candidature. 
“Even after coming to power, if I find any one guilty, I will not support the corrupt minister and dismiss them with immediate effect unlike the BJP.”   
He said people in Goa are looking for a change and called upon the voters to get elect AAP candidates.   
Elvis Gomes said there is tremendous AAP wave in Goa like in the past when people wanted BJP to come to power. “However, BJP emerged as the most corrupt party than Congress after coming to power.”   
“Even after 55 years, not a single party developed Goa in reality. About 44% youth in Goa are deprived of their basic rights due to faulty decisions of the BJP government and other governments in the past,” he said.   
Dr Oscar Rebello said: “If Prime Minister Narendra Modi really wanted to end corruption in India by the medium of demonetization, than why did the BJP in Goa inducted people like Pandurang Madkaikar and Mauvin Godinho?”
