PANAJI
The Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday took out Rozgar Yatras at Vasco, Mormugao and Sanvordem.
In a press release, AAP stated that the yatra in Sanvordem was led by AAP leader Abhijit Dessai, in Vasco by party leader Sunil Loran and Mormugao by AAP's Parshuram Sonurlekar. The yatra pulled large crowds in all three constituencies. The rally went through the towns of Vasco, Mormugao and Sanvordem and was attended by hundreds of volunteers and was followed by large booth level meetings. Hundreds of residents registered for Kejriwal’s 'Job Guarantee'.
The release further states that Vasco and Mormugao constituencies, which are close to the port and the airport, have faced several issues related to unemployment. The tourism activities like taxi operations had come to a standstill during the pandemic. Taxikars in these constituencies has received no support from the government during the lockdown in stark comparison to how Arvind Kejriwal has stood by taxi and rickshaw operators in Delhi. Youth are also finding it tough to get jobs as the MLAs only give them to their people.
In Sanvordem most residents are mining dependents and the current government has brought in no relief to suffering due to the closure of mines. The government has been ignoring the mining dependents for the last five years. Residents are supporting AAP as they trust Arvind Kejriwal will restart mining and will provide Rs 5,000 relief per family till mining restarts. No development has taken place in the constituency the last few years. During the pandemic too, no relief was provided by the local government. People are fed up with the corruption that has arisen in every government sector, states AAP in the press release.
