Calls for intensifying agitation for new job calendar

Lokesh supports hunger strike of jobless youth

Youth should fight back betrayals of Jagan Reddy

AMARAVATI (prajaamaravati): TDP National General Secretary and MLC Nara Lokesh on Thursday made a strong plea to the unemployed youth and graduates of AP to take a plunge into the ongoing agitation to force the YSRCP Government to issue a new job calendar to sincerely fill Government job vacancies.

Mr. Lokesh extended his solidarity to the members of Andhra Pradesh Udyoga Porata Samithi (APUPS) who started a hunger strike at dharna chowk in Vijayawada in support of their demand for a new job calendar.

In a statement here, Mr. Nara Lokesh recalled how Chief Minister Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy raised expectations and made a huge promise to fill 2.3 lakh Government vacancies in his pre-election meetings. But after coming to power, Mr. Jagan Reddy did not release any job calendar or fill any jobs in the first year of his rule. Following rising unpopularity and public discontent, the CM issued a 'jadu job calendar' with just 10,000 jobs but not 2.30 lakh jobs as per his election promise.

Mr. Lokesh asserted that the aspiring youth should come together and strengthen their agitation to bring the arrogant Jagan Reddy rule to its knees. All the youth should join and register in the www.jagancheatedapyouth.com website which was launched with the aim of ensuring greater participation of youth in the job calendar agitation. Everybody should raise their voice against the injustice and betrayal of jobless youth under the Jagan Reddy misrule.

Mr. Nara Lokesh said that the time had come to teach a strong lesson to the YSRCP Government and put a full stop to its further betrayals. The Chief Minister tried to make a mockery of the job aspirations of the lakhs of educated youth by proposing to fill just 10,000 jobs. The youth have been demanding a new job calendar for weeks together but the Ministers were keeping silent. The agitation should be intensified in order to bend the horns of the adamant dictator.

The TDP MLC termed it as unfortunate that the present ruling party leaders had a wrong habit of never doing what they would promise to the people. They would make lots of vows in front of the public but would not care about putting them into practice ever. The CM, his Advisors and MLAs were thinking that they would be able to do any injustice and get away with it. But the fact was that the whole people and youth of the State were waiting for the earliest opportunity to show the YSRCP its rightful place for all its betrayals.
