Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will visit Hyderabad on May 8 to address a public meeting on the problems of the unemployed in Telangana. According to an IANS report, Priyanka would address a public meeting at Saroornagar grounds for which preperations are being made by the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) leaders. The Congress general secretary will arrive in Hyderabad from Karnataka, where she is campaigning for the May 10 Assembly elections.

The meeting is expected to strengthen Congress party's ongoing statewide movement over the problems of the unemployed in the wake of the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) exam paper leak. As part of the activities undertaken by the state Congress on unemployment and the TSPSC paper leak issues, protests were held in Nalgonda, Khammam, Adilabad, and other places.

Earlier, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A Revanth Reddy alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao have failed to provide jobs and employment opportunities to the youth in the country and Telangana.

The Telangana Congress has been demanding the TSPSC question paper leak case be investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The special investigation team (SIT) of the Telangana Police is currently probing the case.

Revanth Reddy has alleged that cash transactions worth crores of rupees took place in the paper leak case, and there were even hawala transactions by those based abroad.

He also asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to question everyone involved in the case, alleging that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by the state government was only interrogating a few select individuals while overlooking others.

Revanth Reddy has further alleged that the Telangana government is trying to protect the real culprits in the case while lower-ranked employees are being  made a scapegoat. He said that since individuals holding key positions in the government were involved, the state govenment constituted the SIT to shield them.
