This was best epitomised by Arvind Kejriwal's announcement on a job guarantee for Goa's youth where he has promised a job for every family along with support such as a skilled University, and also financial support till employment."

Pointing out the potholes that were in the dark spots due to broken and unmaintained streetlights across the bypass road.

"The youth of Goa are the powerhouse of the state and betterment of youth means the betterment of the state and nation. Today the Youth of Goa have realised that the BJP and Congress have taken them for a ride. They have neither good roads nor jobs," said AAP leader, Anup Kudtarkar.

"Arvind Kejriwal has provided a way forward not just for the Youths but for all of Goa," said Hanzel Fernandes, AAP Goa General Secretary (Youth).

"The BJP and Congress, have always used the youth as a political campaign weapon but after elections, the youth have been heavily ignored by subsequent Governments," said Dr Vibhas Prabhudesai.
