Scores of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders and workers hit the streets on Saturday, questioning the delay on government’s part in filling up of over two lakh vacant posts.
Organised by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the party’s youth wing, the protest rally began from Martyrs’ Memorial and wound up at the Ambedkar statue in Hanamkonda.
BJP Warangal Urban district president Rao Padma reminded the gathering how Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao had, in 2015, declared in the Assembly about his government being committed to provide one lakh jobs. However, not even 15,000 vacancies have been filled up till date, Padma said, adding that over 30,000 teaching posts were lying vacant too.
She alleged that the TSPSC has failed to conduct recruitment tests effectively and bungled on many counts. “In all, 50,000 teacher posts are lying vacant. No effort is being made to fill them,” Ms. Padma said.
Senior leaders of the party, including M Dharma Rao, Vijayalaxmi, R Amarender Reddy, G Siva Kumar and Jalagam Ranjith, also took part in the rally, raising demands for the immediate removal of an “inefficient” TSPSC chairman, filling up of teaching posts in universities and notifying recruitment of 30,000 teacher posts.
The BJYM, which is organising a ‘Chalo Hyderabad’ rally on Tuesday, has appealed to the educated unemployed youth to join them.
