Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy announced on Monday that his government aims to fill one lakh job vacancies by June 2026, within two and a half years of assuming office.
At an event in Nalgonda district where he launched the distribution of new ration (PDS) cards, Reddy highlighted that the Congress government set a national record by recruiting 60,000 people within a year of taking office in December 2023, as reported by PTI.
Reddy criticised the previous BRS regime for failing to fill government vacancies for 10 years, which forced thousands of unemployed youth to prepare for competitive exams in Hyderabad.
“Today, I am giving my word. We will provide one lakh government jobs before this government completes two and a half years (June, 2026) and make their (job aspirants) families live with self-respect,” Reddy said.
He questioned whether the opposition BRS had considered distributing new ration cards to the poor during its 10-year rule.
Highlighting the Congress government’s pro-poor and pro-farmer schemes, Reddy mentioned that the administration ensured the implementation of the ‘Rythu Bharosa’ investment support scheme, crop loan waivers, MSP, distribution of fine rice through PDS instead of coarse rice, and new ration cards.
He noted that the TDP (1999-2004) and Congress (2004-2014) in undivided Andhra Pradesh, and the BRS (2014-2023, December) in Telangana, each governed for 10 years.
The Chief Minister projected that Congress would remain in power for 10 years (from December 2023 to 2034) and reiterated the goal of transforming Telangana into a USD one trillion economy by 2035.
Regarding the caste survey and SC classification undertaken by his government, Reddy assured that 42 per cent reservation would be provided to backward classes in local body polls as per the recent cabinet decision. This, he said, was a promise made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Earlier, in a post on X, he mentioned that 5.61 lakh new ration cards are being distributed, ensuring food security for 3.10 crore people across Telangana.
