AAP in Goa promises 80% reservation in private jobs for locals

AAP in Goa announces a slew of freebies like 80% private job reservation for locals, unemployment allowances, free electricity for farmers as poll promises

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has promised an unemployment allowance and 80% reservation in private jobs for locals in Goa, where the party is prepping to contest the polls. On Sunday, he had made similar poll promises in Uttarakhand too.  

If voted to power in Goa, AAP said it will reduce corruption and assure at least one employed member in each household. “Goa is a beautiful state enriched with natural resources… We have to stop the plunder by the ruling party… Everybody comes to power in Goa to plunder the beautiful state reserves,” Arvind Kejriwal said at the press conference.

AAP is planning to fight the election on the back of unemployment issues and freebie politics.

Other promises made by AAP in Goa

The Kejriwal-led party has promised to give Rs. 5,000 per month to people who have lost their jobs in the mining sector due to bans and restrictions. Apart from that, all unemployed youth will get a monthly allowance of Rs 3,000 until employed.

He also said that Goan youths are unhappy and unemployed. If AAP is voted to power, then it will break the nexus of political influence in securing government jobs. “Many Goans have told me that one needs to be friends with the MLA or bribe the officials to secure government jobs. We will stop it,” he added.

AAP has also planned to provide “infinite opportunities” to people who have lost their jobs in the Covid-impacted tourism industry. The party will also resume mining services and set up a Skill University.

“We will also give free electricity to the farmers for 24 hours. As much as 300 units of electricity will be free to use for households,” Kejriwal said.

Kejriwal takes a jibe at CM Sawant

In August 2021, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant had announced free electricity in Goa, which will cost an additional burden of Rs 120 crore to the state. The Goan CM had also announced free water for residents.

Accusing Sawant of copying Delhi’s scheme, Kejriwal has said it is better to choose the original than duplicate. “He is a duplicate… The duplicate will make things messy,” AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal said at the press conference.

Kejriwal also hit out at the critics who have questioned AAP’s intention offset a huge financial burden on the state. “We have stopped corruption and saved money. It is how we have done in Delhi and will do in Goa too,” he said.

AAP’s poll promises in Uttarakhand

The Aam Admi Party has promised to give a monthly allowance of Rs 5,000 to every unemployed farmer till employed. He had also promised 80% reservation to locals in government and private jobs. The party has also assured to form a separate ministry to keep a tab on unemployment and migration issues.

Similarly, AAP has also promised to give 300 units of free electricity. The party is simply extending its freebie politics of Delhi to other states in India in a race to become a national party.

Freebie politics in India

The concept of freebie politics is not new in India. They have become an easy method to win elections by creating a bubble of convenience. However, in the long run, these freebie politics have proven to be detrimental to both society and the government.

First, they make people lazy and lethargic. Common men will now simply agitate in front of the government offices to get the smallest of their demands fulfilled. But at some point, this will stop as the state coffers will dry up. Then it becomes a problem for both the ruling party and the citizens.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society.

The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...
