In Goa, growing concerns over corruption and the handling of public issues have led to demands for Chief Minister Pramod Sawant’s resignation. Activists and opposition leaders, including Sanjay Barde and Shankar Polji, have raised alarms over widespread job scams and communal tensions in the state.

Recent scandals, such as the Pooja Naik cash-for-jobs scam, have highlighted systematic corruption in government hiring processes, with promises of employment being exchanged for bribes. This fraudulent activity has led to significant public outcry, legal proceedings, and even a tragic suicide linked to the scam.
