CM should tackle burning issues faced by people

The Chief Minister should remove all the vices and evils plaguing Goa and our children who are lured to drug addiction and become drug addicts and the families are crumbling due to unemployment as the government is unable to provide employment with reasonable salary / perks to make ends meet of Goan families. 

Hence they are forced to take help of Portuguese passport to work in European countries as Portuguese passport holders can work anywhere in Europe without a visa this is blessing in disguise given by Portuguese to the people of Goa. There are many other things good the Portuguese has done as against the bad they have done to Goa as we could see the roads, culverts, bridges they built lasted for 4 centuries for example Banastarim bridge, Borim bridge, etc. The Portuguese brought cereals, cashews, fruit bearing trees and also they brought western dress culture. The culture of more than 400 years cannot be removed overnight, the Portuguese had destroyed temples but some they rebuild it with their architecture as most of the temples in Goa showcase Portuguese architecture.  People of Goa don't want to indulge in trivial issues but need a good standard of living that can be achieved only through employment which the government needs to ponder over and which is the need of the hour. There are so many issues effecting Goa like mining, coal handling, rail double tracking , taxi issues, tourism related issues etc may be because the government cannot solve the burning issues of Goa they are trying to divert people's attention.
