Who do they think we are? All the Goa government does is give us empty assurances,&#8221; UTAA president Prakash Velip told reporters here.<\/p>\n<p>UTAA has demanded that some of their demands prompt implementation of the Tribal Forest Act. The tribals representatives have also demanded effective implementation of the reservation for tribals in government jobs and setting up of a scheduled tribes (ST) commission in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Tribals account for 12 percent of Goa&#8217;s population of about 14 lakh.<\/p>\n<p>UTAA claims that the government had failed to implement most demands. Even where it has conceded, Velip claims, implementations of the demands have been short of honest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The government has cheated us. Chief Minister Digambar Kamat has formed institutions like the tribal welfare department and ST commission, but they are toothless because there is no sanctioned staff to work there. All these are hollow promises,&#8221; tribal rights leader and Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) legislator from the Poinguinim constituency Ramesh Tawadkar told.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had given the Goa government the deadline of mid May to act.
