HYDERABAD: BJP State president Bandi Sanjay on Thursday warned that his party would launch a movement soon if 47,600 vacant posts under Group 1, 2, 3 and 4 were not filled “immediately”. He said Group-1 posts haven’t been filled since 10 years and junior assistant posts at distr-ict, mandal and division levels have not been filled in 25 years.
