HYDERABAD
Working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) K.T. Rama Rao has criticised Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for evading the unemployed youth after he failed to keep the pre-poll promise of filling two-lakh vacancies in the first year of coming to power.
It was shameful that, unable to take up the recruitment process for filling vacancies, the Chief Minister was making the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief state that it was a five-year promise, Mr. Rao said in a statement on Tuesday.
Even AICC leader Priyanka Gandhi had promised the electors during the campaign that they could dethrone the government if they failed to fill two-lakh vacancies in one year after the party assumed power in Telangana. The Congress government had given appointment letters of 65,000 posts, whose filling process was in the final stages when the BRS demitted office, and Mr. Revanth Reddy was taking the credit for filling those posts, and in the process completely forgot about his promise.
The BRS government in the past had filled 1.65 lakh posts till December 2023, but Mr. Reddy had defamed it by spreading misinformation among the youth. Now that the true colours of the government stand exposed without any recruitment process going on, the unemployed youth and their parents are rueing for supporting the Congress.
Mr. Rama Rao said the government had also failed to keep its promise on taking up mega DSC to fill all teacher post vacancies and the unemployment allowance to the eligible unemployed youth.
Not just the youth, but the Revanth Reddy government deceived all sections of the society by not keeping the six guarantees and over 420 other promises made in the Congress election manifesto for the 2023 Assembly elections, the BRS leader said and alleged that the Congress government had also deceived farmers by denying Rythu Bandhu/Bharosa for three crop seasons since it came to power, and also deceived women by not keeping the promise of ₹2,500 support a month.
