Accusing Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy of reneging on his promise to provide jobs to the unemployed youth in the State, leaders of the Nirudyoga Joint Action Committee (JAC) have embarked on ‘Chaitanya Yatra’, an initiative to educate the youth about the need to dislodge the YSR Congress Party for a secure future.
Leading the bus yatra that started in Anantapur district, JAC convener Shaik Siddik said Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy, at the time of his padayatra, had promised to fill the 2.3 lakh vacant posts in various government departments in the State and release a job calendar every year. “The youth believed him and voted for his party, but they were betrayed by the YSRCP, which formed the government but did not implement its promise,” he said.
He said, in his five-year rule, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy had not released even a single job calendar, and neither did he fulfil his promise on release of a ‘Mega DSC’. Educated youth in the State were frustrated in the absence of jobs, he said.
