Says that unemployment is the biggest problem in Goa; To contest the forthcoming election from either Shiroda or Cumbarjua if Priol was reserved for the ST community
PONDA: MGP leader and Priol MLA Deepak Dhavalikar, at a press briefing on Sunday, stated that unemployment is the biggest problem in Goa and that the MGP would not allow MLA Mauvin Godinho to contest the 2017 election from Dabolim constituency on a BJP ticket. He also stated that if Priol was reserved for the ST community, he would contest the forthcoming election from the nearest constituency – either Shiroda or Cumbarjua.
When asked about Godinho’s announcement that he would contest from Dabolim constituency on a BJP ticket, Dhavalikar stated, “Mauvin should not forget that he is elected on a Congress ticket. BJP gave Dabolim to MGP for contesting the election. Mauvin should forget about contesting the election from Dabolim on a BJP ticket. This constituency is favourable to the MGP and our candidate is sure to win the election from there.”
He continued, “Mauvin might have switched to BJP to get done his work and everybody knows about it. He should not forget that he was elected as a Congress MLA. We will not allow him to contest from Dabolim on a BJP ticket; he should adjust himself at any other nearby constituency. If the BJP is willing to give him a ticket, he should be given a suitable seat other than Dabolim.”
Speaking about the unemployment problem, he said, “We have infrastructure to provide education, but no infrastructure to provide sufficient jobs. Our educated youth go outside the state in search of jobs. We will have to handle this issue on priority.”
He also criticised NGOs for coming in the way of development and industrial projects, which diminished the employment opportunities in Goa. He said, “NGOs should think of the unemployed Goan youth before coming in the way of industrial projects. We will have to think more about how we can reduce unemployment. Though there is a lot of educational infrastructure, Goa lacks infrastructure to provide jobs to the educated youth, who are increasing in large numbers every year.”
When asked about his candidature if the Centre sanctioned the reservation of Priol for the ST community, he said he would prefer to contest from either the neighbouring constituencies of Shiroda or Cumbarjua. He also said the MGP hoped to win at least 12 to 13 seats in the forthcoming election.
He said the work of the Cumbarjua-Gaundalim bypass would be sorted out in a year, and that the work from the Khandola Bridge to Cumbarjua-Gaundalim would be possible with the govt’s new land acquisition policy.
