Date: 1st May, 2002 Chief Minister Shri Manohar Parrikar, while addressing a press meet at BJP Office, informed about tentative schedule of senior party leaders in Goa this month. Shri Gopinath Munde will be in Goa on 6th & 7th May and will address five election meetings. He will visit again between 20th & 22nd of May.
Smt. Sushama Swaraj will be in Goa from 10th to 12th May and will address 5 to 6 election rallies. She will address a press meet also. Also, visits are planned for Shri Advani and Shri Arun Jaitley, Shri Pramod Mahajan, being incharge of Goa Election, will camp in Goa in last week of May. Chief Minister further informed that he had visited 9 constituencies and addressed 5 public meetings in last 8 days. Though at short notice, many of the meetings had tremendous response. As an indication of enthusiasm of party sympathizers, he stated that the official website of the State www.goabjp.com received more than 1,35,000 hits in first eight days and in an envious reaction, the site was hacked by opposition. There were more than 300 e-mails per day from Goans in Goa and abroad. They were mostly from Christians and more than 90% were supportive of him and his government. This was an indication that the vilification campaign will increase in near future. Talking about the Manifesto, he informed that Manifesto Committee will be set up in a day or two and the full document will be delivered by 15th of May. Some of the highlights will be a critical appraisal of the performance of BJP government in light of the promises made. There will be a full explanation for the fulfillment of the promises. Key issues of the Manifesto will be freedom from hunger in first 18 months. The DSS Scheme has benefited more than 13000 citizens and another 15 to 20 thousand citizens will be covered in that period. Another important issue will be freedom from unemployment. Government will have a set plan to provide gainful employment to all by the end of third year. Thereafter, the government will provide unemployment allowance to all the eligible unemployed persons in Goa. Earlier Congress government had promised home and job for all by 2000. Where is the promise and where are the promises ? He declared that there will be a special cell in his office to monitor such self-help schemes. Currently there are around 20 thousand unemployed and equal number of under-employed persons in Goa and he promised to provide respectful employment to all by end of third year.
