Telangana Minister KT Rama Rao on Monday criticized the BJP for turning India into an “unemployed nation.”
He said that the BJP State president, G Kishan Reddy, who has failed to contribute to the development of Telangana, lacks the moral authority to discuss job appointments.
Rama Rao pointed out that India is witnessing the highest unemployment rate in 45 years under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He challenged Kishan Reddy to name a state government that has filled more job vacancies than Telangana in the past decade.
Rama Rao dared Kishan Reddy to make the BJP-led Central government release a “white paper” on the number of jobs filled over the last ten years and the existing vacancies in various departments. He stated that more than 16 lakh Central government jobs are lying vacant.
The Minister said that despite the Centre canceling projects like the Information Technology Investment Region (ITIR) and refraining from establishing Bayyaram Steel factory and other provisions promised under Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, the Telangana government succeeded in attracting investments in the private sector and creating over 24 lakh jobs in key sectors like IT, manufacturing, pharma and others.
