Congress has demanded that chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao release district-wise data of unemployed candidates in Telangana.

The unemployment rate has doubled since 2014. As per the latest figures, 19,43,783 qualified youth had registered themselves with the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) alone. This does not include lakhs of people who lost their jobs during the lockdown, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president N Uttam Kumar Reddy.

Addressing a meeting with state heads of the party’s frontal organisations on Sunday, Uttam directed them to activate the cadre at all levels in the two graduate MLC seats spread in 70-odd assembly constituencies and ensure the victory of Congress candidates, Ramulu Naik, from Nalgonda-Warangal-Khammam and G Chinna Reddy from Hyderabad-Rangareddy-Mahbubnagar constituencies.

KCR has not implemented his poll promise of giving Rs 3,016 per month unemployment allowance to jobless youth. Municipal minister KT Rama Rao should prevail upon KCR to release jobless data and guidelines to dole out the allowance, he said.

BJP has no moral right to seek votes in Telangana as it had dropped the information technology investment region (ITIR) project, did not set up railway coach factory in Kazipet and steel factory in Bayyaram promised in the AP Reorganisation Act, he added.
