Chief Minister Revanth Reddy criticizes previous government for failing to provide compassionate jobs, hands over appointment letters to 922 candidates.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy criticised the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government, led by K. Chandrasekhar Rao, for failing to provide ‘compassionate jobs’ to dependents of deceased or medically retired government employees during their decade-long rule.
Mr. Reddy also ridiculed KCR for securing an MLC post for his daughter K. Kavitha and appointing his relative B. Vinod Kumar as vice-chairman of the State Planning Board after they lost in the Lok Sabha elections.
The Chief Minister handed over appointment letters to 922 candidates, including over 500 who were appointed under compassionate grounds, for various positions in the Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) department and Panchayat Raj and Rural Development departments at the “Koluvula Panduga” (job festival) event held at Ravindra Bharathi here on Thursday (March 20).
Addressing the gathering which included selected candidates and their family members, Mr. Reddy said many youngsters had waited for a decade, going through a traumatic phase due the negligence of the BRS government.
“Getting a job on compassionate grounds is your right, but the previous government neglected this right since 2015. No policy was made regarding compassionate jobs during their rule,” he said, urging them to consider whether this was due to irresponsibility, negligence, or failure on the part of the BRS regime.
Mr. Reddy rebutted BRS allegations, stating he had handed over 57,924 appointment letters as Chief Minister at different venues for both the notifications issued under his rule or the previous regime. He reiterated accusations of the BRS government’s failure to conduct the Group-1 exam and boasted that his government had successfully conducted the exam, notifying 563 jobs.
“We will announce the results of the Group 2 and Group 3 exams soon,” he said, and accused the Opposition BRS of trying to obstruct his attempts to offer jobs, improve road networks, set up industries, attract international tech companies and his every attempt to develop the State.
