KTR accuses Rahul Gandhi, Revanth Reddy of deceiving unemployed youth

HYDERABAD: BRS Working President K Tarakarama Rao has accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy of deceiving and insulting the unemployed youth and students.

Addressing a meeting of BRSV leaders on Thursday, KTR demanded that Revanth Reddy apologise to students and unemployed people for insulting them with derogatory comments against them in the Mahabubnagar meeting. He highlighted that Revanth Reddy had promised a Mega DSC with 50,000 jobs while in opposition but has only offered around 6,000 additional posts since coming to power.

The BRS leader accused Revanth Reddy of having an autocratic mentality and being intolerant even of social media posts. He pointed out the police attacks on journalists and students, questioning, "The question is whether attacking the people is Praja Palana or Indiramma Rajyam that Congress promised to bring" KTR warned that students are recording the names of the police involved in these attacks on youth and will be held accountable.

KTR also accused Rahul Gandhi of exploiting students for political gain, stating, "Rahul Gandhi used students for power." He criticised the Congress party for using unemployed individuals as election tools and failing to deliver on promises of job creation.

KTR criticised the Congress party for cancelling welfare schemes and failing to keep its promises to the people. He highlighted the party's permission for seven new private universities, which he claimed was contrary to its earlier stance.

Emphasising the achievements of the BRS regime, KTR mentioned that over 162,000 government jobs had been filled, with another 40,000 in the process. He highlighted that the BRS party government provided 95% local reservation for students in jobs. KTR said that the party successfully produced many leaders now serving as public representatives, chairmen, mayors, and district-level presidents.

KTR underscored the vital role of student leaders, particularly when in opposition. He encouraged them to fight against government injustices and continue the student movement's legacy from 2009 to 2014.
