Hyderabad: Senior Congress leader and Telangana Government Advisor Mohammed Ali Shabbir on Monday accused BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao of misleading unemployed youth, saying he could not criticise the Congress government after the BRS’s record on jobs and recruitment.
Shabbir Ali alleged that the previous BRS government failed to fulfil its employment promises and delayed recruitments for several years. He also claimed that the TSPSC question paper leak damaged the confidence of lakhs of job aspirants across Telangana.
According to Shabbir Ali, BRS president K. Chandrashekar Rao had promised jobs for every family before coming to power. However, he alleged that the government later denied making that commitment. He also claimed the BRS failed to implement its promise of paying a monthly unemployment allowance of ₹3,016.
Shabbir Ali KTR dispute centres on jobs
Shabbir Ali said the TSPSC paper leak forced several recruitment examinations to be cancelled or postponed. As a result, many candidates had to prepare again and bear additional expenses on coaching, travel and accommodation. He said the incident weakened public confidence in the recruitment system.
Meanwhile, the Congress leader said the government led by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy inherited pending recruitments, legal disputes and an affected Public Service Commission. Despite these challenges, he claimed the government resumed recruitment processes, cleared pending selections and issued appointment orders to thousands of candidates.
Shabbir Ali alleged that KTR was trying to politicise the issue by questioning completed recruitments. According to him, job aspirants were more concerned about receiving appointments than about which government issued recruitment notifications.
Finally, he said the Congress government would continue recruitment, industrial investment, skill development and self-employment programmes in a transparent manner. He urged young people to judge political parties by their record while reiterating his allegations that the BRS had failed to deliver on employment commitments.
