Govt counters BRS claims on women reservation; 47% women recruited in 28,942 posts filled since Congress came to power

Countering the BRS party’s claims on denial of fair share to women in recruitments in Telangana due to the changed reservation policy, the government said that it had filled up 28,942 posts since it came to power and of these 13,571 are women candidates.

“This is a staggering 47% of the total vacancies filled up so far and this shows how hollow the claims of the BRS MLC K. Kavitha and others who were shedding crocodile tears on women reservations,” a senior functionary of the government said. “Out of the 28,942 posts filled 15,371 are men and 13,571 are women candidates,” he said justifying the government’s claims.
