Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday interacted with youth at Ashok Nagar in Telangana's Hyderabad, news agency ANI reported. In a post on X, Gandhi wrote: "Today in Ashoknagar, Hyderabad, I met the youth who are preparing for various competitive exams. I was moved by the fact that they had hoped that they would get success if Telangana came, but even 10 years after the state's arrival, their aspirations have not been fulfilled."
"Telangana youth did not get justice during KCR's ten-year rule. Due to a lack of notifications, court cases and paper leaks, 30 lakh unemployed youths have suffered badly. In Telangana, which they fought for, they are in an unfathomable plight," he further stated.
The Congress MP met the job seekers in Ashok Nagar and spoke with them about the difficulties they have had since the Telangana government cancelled the test notifications.
Slamming state government, Gandhi stated: "The youth of Telangana have been among the worst affected by the misrule of the government over the past 10 years. But they are resilient and full of potential, as was evident from my interaction with them in Ashok Nagar, Hyderabad, today. It is our duty to transform their dreams into reality, which is why we have released a job calendar to fill 2 lakh government jobs within the first year of our government in Telangana. This is not just a promise; it is Congress's guarantee!"
Earlier this year, the Telangana high court ordered the cancellation of preliminary examinations for recruitment to Group-1 services in the state government held by the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) on June 11, following several petitions filed by students alleging violations of exam guidelines.
