HYDERABAD: BJP leaders, led by MLC N Ramchander Rao, on Friday submitted a memorandum to Chief Secretary SK Joshi, demanding the State government to keep its promise of conducting recruitment drives to fill up one lakh jobs. They also demanded the government to release the TSPSC examination calendar.
Ramachander Rao recalled that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao announced in March 2015 that there were 1.12 lakh vacancies in various government departments. “He assured the government would fill them up soon. When I raised a question in Council, I got a written answer saying the vacancies’ figure remains 1,10,012,” the BJP leader said.
Ramchander Rao said the real figure was somewhere near 2.5 lakh, taking retirements into account.
“Till date, only 25,000 vacancies been filled. And, half of them are in the police department,” he said.
Ramchander Rao said various government departments were unable to function because of staff shortage. He demanded TSPSC release notifications for all vacancies.
He also wanted the examination fees to be scrapped.“The amount accumulated with the TSPSC by way of examination fee has to be spent for the welfare of the students, who are appearing for competitive examinations,” he said. The BJP leaders also demanded that all the cases filed against ‘agitated unemployed youth’ be lifted immediately.
