RG AND JOBS FOR GOANS
RG Performance and vote share on this emotive plank has been beyond expectations and phenomenal.It has upset many an apple cart and sent the sephologist into an analyzing mode First time showing without muscle and money power and a seat to boot in the Assembly, has put NCP, TMC, SHIV SENA on a notice of shame and disappointment Most of the Goans are either immigrants, migrants, even highly educated who seek greener pastures abroad The truth is that even lowly paid Govt jobs are on sale and it is a common knowledge. Who can cough out such astronomical demands. Outsiders are preferred as they keep their mouth shut in a win win situation .Amother new phenomenon is ruling legislators want a pie in appointments both monetarily and to keep their seats safe. The Commissions for selections is not without doubts of being above board.and being influenced to do the obvious officially Then reservations is another huddle for aspirants of general category. One job in the family and those on compassionate grounds are far from being enforced Compulsory knowledge of Konkani has been thrown to winds.Skill training to fit requirement of labour, subsidies for lical appointments are observed in breach..The doles for unemployed have been shelved In what concrete way can RG deliver except emotional appeal and secure their pound of flesh In fact RG has helped BJP to ride back to power by splitting the votes, when people were anxious for change of guard and BJP was on tenterhooks about its pospects Though some states have used this tool to gain political mileage ,it does not meet the judicial scrutiny of constitutional mandate RG cannot and will never be able to fulfill their avowed promise and at best be a spoul sport supported by ruling dispensation to their advantage.Even extra ordinary leave to create space for employment has not succeeded RG at best trying to get political foothold and seem to have succeeded in a surprising way for the moment RG is definitely emboldened to spread its wings to enter local elections.
