With its youth declaration announced at a public meeting addressed by AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi-Vadra here on Monday, the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) appears to have sounded the poll bugle much in advance of its rivals as the document of promises resembled election manifesto.
Announcing the five-point declaration, TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy said it would address the aspirations of Telangana youth and students who played a crucial role in the movement for statehood. He alleged that the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) played a cruel joke on the unemployed youth by not taking up recruitment to fill 2.5 lakh vacancies and deceived them by not paying the unemployment allowance.
Explaining the features of the youth declaration, he said the State Government would recognise all martyrs of the statehood movement, every family would be given a government job and also a ₹25,000 monthly pension to a dependant by treating them as freedom fighters and all cases registered on statehood activists would be withdrawn.
