Goa MLA and former Minister Fransisco Miccky Pacheco today alleged discrimination in providing employment opportunities in Assembly constituencies and offered to resign if he is proved wrong.
"Let them show which Assembly constituency got the maximum employment. Let them show that they have given equal employment to all (Assembly segments). I am ready to resign from the House (if it's proved Government has provided equal jobs opportunities across all constituencies)," he said.
The legislator from Nuvem was speaking during a discussion on budget in the Assembly which started its Monsoon Session today.
He alleged the youth from constituencies represented by the ruling parties are being given preference in Government employment.
The former Tourism Minister took a dig at the BJP-led Government, saying its Ministers are not available to look into grievances of the common man and are instead busy distributing free LED bulbs.
"First ensure regular electricity to the people and then think of providing LED bulbs. The consumers don't want free bulbs, they want reduction in electricity tariff," he said.
