Margao: Today all seven opposition MLAs, including Congress, AAP, RGP and Goa Forward held a meeting in Margao and decided to write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene in the ‘cash for job’ scandal, which has deprived deserving candidates from getting government jobs.
“The way Goa police are investigating and giving certificates of ‘clean chit’ to BJP Ministers is shocking and we know that ‘big fishes’ involved in it will not be caught by damaged fishnets of police. Police have become spokesperson of BJP”.
Yuri Alemao Leader of Opposition said “It is learnt that today one who was arrested by Mardol police was a staff of one BJP Minister. There may be several such agents employed by ministers to make money by selling jobs. That should be investigated and hence we have decided to write to the Prime Minister as it is a serious issue”.
“Deserving candidates are not getting government jobs as these agents are manipulating the process by taking bribes. Police have caught these small fishes, big fishes are trying to weaken these complaints and hence there is a need that this scandal should be handed over to SIT or should be probed by retired High Court judge’.
“If undeserving candidates get government jobs by paying bribes to BJP’s agents, how will departments function with such persons who are into corruption. In the future they will take bribes from people to recover their money spent to get a job. So the corruption cycle will continue”.
“BJP came to power with a false narrative of mining scam and promising unemployment dole in 2012. Since then, Mining dependents are waiting for resumption and unemployed youths for dole”.
“Mining resumption and creation of employment were two main promises of BJP’s manifestos. In 2012, BJP had promised unemployment dole. What happened to that promise?”
“BJP is responsible for mining suspension and increased unemployment rate due to it”.
“Now as their involvement has been exposed, BJP Govt is using police officials to break the chain of investigation. It is shocking to note that Police are giving clean chit to politicians in power. Police are proving that they are spokesperson of BJP”.
“How can police jump to conclusions when cases are still being lodged? Is the investigation over of all cases? Have they checked audios which are viral of MLAs and other agents? Have the police filed Chargesheetd? Then how come they give clean chit to politicians in power? Don’t protect criminals”.
“Have the police checked how many candidates these agents have provided jobs? I am sure the police will not do it because they want to protect their bosses”.
