Ref http://www.navhindtimes.in/news/migrants-contribution-cannot-be-overlooked-cm As reported recently in the media whilst inaugurating the Goa Study Group, Goa's Chief Minister said that the "migration happens because there is a vacuum left in the state and. Goans don’t want to do low category jobs but want white collar jobs only". Yes Migrants contribution must be recognized but it is high time, we Goans look at this in the full correct perspective rather than allow our politicians to state this half-truths for their own selfish benefits. Yes, there are Jobs created by the Vacuum for Migrants, but are our Corrupt Politicians not creating other avenues of un-necessary employment; Let me state few facts:
(1) Are the Chief Ministers colleagues in the Builders lobby not bringing in so many migrants for the so many un-necessary housing mega-projects; which do not favour Goans? (2) Have our shortsighted Politicians first seen the needs of the state before sanctioning industries which eventually employs non-goans, surely these industries are only bought so as to enable Politicians to monetarily benefit from them. So if Goans do not have the Jobs in Goa that they are qualified for, what is the only other option left for them other than to migrate? (3) Is the high level corruption not a key factor in Goans not getting jobs in Goa and being forced to migrate; where Goan MLA's & Ministers are selling jobs to the highest bidder and also manipulating documents to favour migrants. Surely the average Goan, who cannot come up with such large sums of money, is left with no other choice. Our Politicians are only fooling us with excuses to do nothing; so as to continue with the realization of the illegitimate incomes; it is high time that Goans challenge all these Half-Truths!!
