Many BJP youths from Fatorda constituency on Sunday joined Goa Forward Party alleging BJP deprived deserving candidates by selling jobs.
GFP President Vijai Sardesai welcomed these youths and promised them that once his party comes into power issue of unemployment will be resolved and there will be place for merit in Goa.
Pankaj Usgaonkar, who joined with others, said that BJP has done injustice to youths of Goa by selling jobs. “we never thought that such corruption will take place. Hence, we decided to leave BJP and join Goa Forward,” Usgaonkar said.
Ashish Shirodkar, another new entrant, said that BJP sold jobs and deprived deserving candidates. “For this reason we all have resigned from the BJP and have joined Goa Forward for a better future,” Shirodkar said.
Sardesai said that BJP sold jobs and also future of pillars (youths) of future. “We will cancel all these posts sold by BJP after we come to power and will ensure that merit has place for getting jobs,” Sardesai said.
He said that there are qualified youths in Goa, to whom multinational companies can employ, but this is not happening. “Hence I had moved private member bill to provide 80 per cent jobs in private sector to sons of soil. But BJP failed to take up this issue,” he said.
Sardesai charged that BJP Government is not bothered about Goan youths. “The Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has no right to become elected representative when he forced the GMC dean to increase marks of former's nephew's results who is studying MBBS,” Sardesai said.
