Telangana youth are missing out on employment possibilities as a result of the indifference of both the BJP government at the federal level and the BRS government in the state, remarked CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka.
In order to provide Telangana youth with employment opportunities, UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi included Steel Factory at Bayyaram and Railway Coach Factory at Kazipet under the State Reorganisation Act, among other things, Batti said. However, the Centre and State governments did not take any action on the proposals for almost ten years.
The CLP leader was speaking at a press conference in Dharmasagr in the Station Ghanpur constituency as his padayatra entered its forty-first day. Telangana youth were losing direct and indirect employment as a result of the complete disregard of the BJP and BRS governments. In these nine and a half years, Chief Minister KCR visited Delhi about 100 times, yet he didn't push for the Bayyaram steel plant and the Railway coach factory. The BRS MPs battled for the rights of the State secured by a Parliament Act neither inside nor outside of the Parliament.
The BRS government spent over one lakh crore on the Kaleshwaram project but failed to provide water to even one additional acre because it did not give priority to suspending the railway waggon business. The KCR government spent Rs. 1.25 lakh crore on the Kaleswaram project, which offered no benefits to the people of Telangana and instead burdened them with a hefty debt.
KCR ignored the Telangana farmers who voted and brought TRS to power but announced financial assistance to the farmers of Punjab and Bihar. The BJP government in the Centre which had promised to provide two crore jobs a year was taking away even existing jobs in the PSUs, he said.
Kisan Cell State President Anvesh Reddy said that BRS leaders were conniving with rice millers and pocketing close to Rs.1,000 crore in every season by under weighing paddy brought by farmers . The purchase of paddy has not commenced yet though the farmers brought their produce to the centres 20 days ago. More than 60 per cent paddy crop was damaged due to unseasonal rains and farmers in Siricilla and Nirmal districts committed suicide unable to bear the debt burden.
