Margao: Goa’s employment crisis seems solved at last, not through industries, investments, entrepreneurship, or policy reforms, but through pure magic. The Chief Magician of Goa will soon begin pulling “20,000 jobs” out of a hat, stated Madganvcho Awaaz & Youth Leader Prabhav Naik.
Taking a sarcastic jibe at Health Minister Vishwajit Rane’s remark describing Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant as a “Magician” who would provide 20,000 jobs within six months, Prabhav Naik said such claims appear to be nothing more than another gimmick of the “Bhartiya Jaadu Party.” He questioned whether employment generation has now become a magic show where promises are announced first and reality is expected to appear later.
Prabhav Naik pointed out that Goa continues to face a serious unemployment challenge, with the State consistently ranking among those with higher unemployment rates compared to the national average. Thousands of educated youth continue to wait for stable employment opportunities while the Government repeatedly makes tall promises without presenting a clear roadmap for achieving them.
He further alleged that several Government departments continue to conduct recruitment processes by bypassing the Staff Selection Commission mechanism, raising concerns about transparency and fairness. Referring to the alleged Cash-for-Jobs scandal, Naik said the Government has yet to restore public confidence in the recruitment system and answer the questions raised by job-seeking youth.
“If the Government can genuinely create 20,000 jobs in six months, the people of Goa will welcome it wholeheartedly. But employment cannot be generated through slogans, publicity stunts, or magical claims. Goa’s youth deserve transparent recruitment, accountable governance, skill-based opportunities, and genuine job creation, not political illusion and election-time promises,” Prabhav Naik stated.
