TDP leader Nara Lokesh has said people will not trust Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy as he “hurries” to recruit 6,100 teachers in the last 60 days of his term in office.

Lokesh’s remarks come after the state Cabinet on Wednesday, 31 January, approved a proposal to notify District Selection Committee (DSC) examinations to recruit 6,100 teachers, barely a few months before the southern state is set to go for the assembly polls.

Assembly elections in the state are due this year.

“People will not trust Jagan Reddy as he hurries to hold the DSC examination with 6,000 positions in the last 60 days after ruling for 60 months,” Lokesh, a TDP general secretary, said in a post on X.

Lokesh — the son of former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu — also alleged that the YSRCP government is deceiving people and claimed that it will soon be removed from power.

Lokesh further asserted that the TDP and the Jana Sena party of actor-politician Pawan Kalyan which he said was capable of providing employment to the state’s youngsters, would assume power after the elections.

60 నెలలు అధికారం వెలగబెట్టి చివరి 60 రోజుల్లో 6 వేల పోస్టులతో డిఎస్సీ నోటిఫికేషన్ అని హడావుడి చేస్తే జనం నమ్మరు జగన్. త్వరలో డ్రామాల వైకాపా ప్రభుత్వం పోతుంది. యువతకు ఉద్యోగాలు ఇచ్చే దమ్మున్న టిడిపి-జనసేన ప్రభుత్వం వస్తుంది.#WhyAPHatesJagan #AndhraPradesh #TDPJSPTogether

What the Cabinet decided

On Wednesday, in what was touted move to address unemployment, the Andhra Pradesh Cabinet approved the release of a notification by the Mega District Selection Committee (DSC) to fill 6,100 teaching positions across the state.

The decision, which fulfils the demands of DSC aspirants, is expected to provide a substantial opportunity for job-seekers in Andhra Pradesh.

The decision is also set to pacify anger of DSC aspirants over pending vacancies ahead of the state and Parliament elections due in a couple of months.

The Cabinet also gave its nod for filling 689 vacant positions in the Forest Department.

It also approved the allocation of ₹5,000 crore for the welfare of women belonging to Backward Classes (BC), Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Minority communities. This financial provision is expected to uplift and empower marginalised sections of society, the government said.

The Cabinet also approved the release of funds under the fourth tranche of the YSR Cheyutha Scheme, scheduled for 16 February. This welfare programme focuses on providing financial support to women.

Proposals by the State Investment Promotion Board (SIPB) for investments worth ₹22,302 crore in the power sector were also approved.

The Cabinet also extended the retirement age of non-teaching staff in government universities from 60 years to 62 years.
