Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi will kickstart the campaign for the Telangana Assembly elections by unveiling the Hyderabad Youth Declaration at the Yuva Sangharshana Sabha, a youth rally, on 8 May in the city.
Speaking to reporters in Hyderabad on Friday, 5 May, TPCC President A Revanth Reddy said that the youth declaration will be the action plan of the Congress for addressing the unemployment problem.
He recalled the farmers’ declaration released by party senior leader Rahul Gandhi in Warangal in the recent past.
At her event at Saroornagar Indoor Stadium, the Congress leader said that Priyanka Gandhi will cover a wide gamut of issues that are dominating the Telangana political scene, besides infusing new hope and vigour in the youth that better days are ahead for them once the “tyranny” of the ruling BRS and Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao ends.
The state party president said that the cornerstones of the Telangana movement — water, funds, and jobs — were jettisoned by Chief Minister KCR after he took charge of the new state in 2014, and he did not address the issue of filling government vacancies till recently when he began issuing notifications.
నీళ్లు, నిధులు, నియామకాల కోసం తెలంగాణ ఉద్యమం జరిగింది. తెలంగాణ రాష్ట్రం వచ్చాక టీఆర్ఎస్ పార్టీ విస్తరణ జరిగింది కానీ, తెలంగాణ ప్రజలకి ఒరిగిందేమీ లేదు. ఉద్యోగాలు రాక నిరుద్యోగులు, మద్దతుధర లేక రైతులు తీవ్రంగా నష్టపోయారు.

“There are about two lakh vacancies in the state government that need to be filled. The government only made a show that it would fill all the vacancies and finally issued notifications, but could not hold the competitive examinations properly with the result that the question papers were on sale in street-corner grocery shops,” Revanth Reddy said.
“The BRS government had put on the line the lives of lakhs of unemployed youths by creating hope and then throwing a douche of cold water over them,” Reddy added.
Reddy said that the chief minister always blows his own trumpet that people, impressed by the agriculture policy of the Telangana state, were joining the BRS in hoards, which was far from true. He wants to spread the BRS to other states by selling this dream there.
Reddy said that KCR was hiring supporters for his party from other states, only to give an impression that the stock of the BRS was on the ascendency.
Revanth Reddy said that the BRS had tom-tommed that an IT employee, Sharad Madkar, thrilled by the philosophy and ideology of the BRS, had left his well-paying job and joined the BRS.
“He joined the BRS on 10 April and was taken as the private secretary to the chief minister on 2 May. How can the chief minister pay ₹18 lakh annum of people’s money to him?” he asked, and demanded immediate cancellation of the government order issued to appoint him to the position.
The TPCC president called upon the youth to attend the public meeting in large numbers in an expression of solidarity with the Congress that was trying to root out the “corrupt” KCR government.
Referring to the Karnataka elections, he said that KCR was trying to help the BJP win the elections in the neighbouring state. If he was really serious about seeing the last of the BJP in the country, he should have gone to Karnataka and washed the saffron party’s dirty linen in the public by organising a media conference.
Taking exception to BJP state president Bandi Sanjay Kumar’s call to stage demonstrations in front of Congress offices reciting Hanuman Chalisa in protest against the Congress’s declaration in Karnataka that it would ban Bajrang Dal if it comes to power, the TPCC president said that he was game to recite Hanuman Chalisa if Union minister Kishan Reddy of the BJP came to him.
Revanth Reddy said that the BPJ was trying to divert the attention of the people from the “40 percent commission corruption tag” it has in Karnataka by raking up issues like the Hanuman Chalisa protests.
