The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) will organise a ‘Yuva Sangrama Sadassu’ at Saroornagar Stadium on July 18 to press the Congress government to fulfil the promises made to unemployed youth in its pre-election Youth Declaration. The party appealed to unemployed youth from across the State to participate in the “Chalo Saroornagar” programme, which will be attended by BRS working president KT Rama Rao.
Unveiling the event poster at Telangana Bhavan on Sunday, BRSLP deputy leader and former Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav said the ruling Congress failed to honour its commitments on jobs and youth welfare, despite completing over two-and-a-half years in office. He accused the Congress of coming to power on promises of employment but failing to issue job notifications. Stating that the Congress deceived unemployed youth, farmers and women, he said the youth meeting would intensify
pressure on the government.
BRSLP deputy leader and former Minister P Sabitha Indra Reddy said the meeting was intended to remind the Congress of the assurances made by Priyanka Gandhi before the Assembly elections. She said thousands of vacancies remained unfilled, including around 20,000 vacancies each in the Police and Education departments. “Instead of recruitments, youth demanding recruitment notifications were being arrested,” she added.
MLA D Sudheer Reddy alleged that the government neglected both students and unemployed youth by delaying fee reimbursement and recruitment. MLC Shambhipur Raju also accused the Congress of failing to implement its promises and ignoring long-pending government vacancies. He said the July 18 meeting would serve as a platform to demand immediate recruitment and implementation of commitments made to Telangana’s youth.
