Aam Aadmi Party intensified its Parivartan Yatra across the state and the party has been receiving an overwhelming response from the people, stated a press release on Wednesday.
AAP leaders held ‘Parivartan Yatra’ campaigns in Quepem, Margao, Vasco, Porvorim, Mayem, Curtorim, Calangute and Nuvem on Monday.
While addressing the gathering in Quepem Raul Pereira, Quepem assembly incharge and joint secretary AAP Goa said, “The youth in Quepem are dejected because their elected representative hasn't prioritized their employment. In addition to being an MLA's chamcha, the only way to become employed in government is with money. Residents are excited to learn that if AAP is elected to power, every youth will be given a job. AAP will eliminate discrimination and will provide equal opportunities to everyone”.
The release furthere added that Margao AAP leader Lincoln Vaz lambasted the five-time Margao MLA for keeping the town backward in terms of development and for not resolving multiple problems faced by the locals.
“Despite completing one full term as chief minister, the MLA failed to conceive the South Goa District Hospital. He left incomplete the Ring Road, education hub and other major projects of Margao”, Vaz alleged.
“As a result of the pandemic, the tourism activities like taxi operations had come to a halt in the Vasco region which is close to the port and the airport. Unlike Arvind Kejriwal, who stood by taxi and rickshaw operators in Delhi during the lockdown, taxi drivers in the constituency haven’t received government support. Youth are also finding it tough to get jobs”, said Sunil Loran, AAP leader.
AAP campaign committee member Ritesh Chodankar said, "People who are residing in Porvorim for more than 10-12 years haven't received house numbers yet. This is the major issue in the constituency. Fed up with the both parties - Congress and BJP, people have been considering AAP as the third option. People started believing that AAP is the only party which will transform Goa. As of now, AAP national convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has announced five guarantees for the Goans. Kejriwal is a man of words. If AAP forms the next government in the state, AAP will fulfill all the promises".
Domnic Gaonkar, AAP senior vice president from Curtorim said, “The Curtorim area is a place where the government can promote hinterland tourism. However, neither the MLA nor the MP did anything to promote tourism. The MLA only cared for his own development. If he had promoted hinterland tourism, it would have benefited our youth”.
