TRS working president K T Rama Rao attacks NDA govt 'Rozgar Mela'

Stepping up his attack on the NDA government at the Centre, ruling TRS working president in Telangana K T Rama Rao on Tuesday alleged that the Centre's recent 'Rozgar Mela' (an online job fair) is a cruel joke on the unemployed youth. Saying that this new drama has been unveiled before elections in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh, Rama Rao, son of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave an assurance that two crore jobs would be filled every year. In an open letter to Modi, Rama Rao asked if a White Paper would be released on the number of jobs filled by the BJP government in the past eight years. The TRS working president said the Telangana government has filled 1.50 lakh government jobs and has initiated the process of filling 91,000 more. Besides, 16.5 lakh jobs, employment opportunities were provided in the private sector. This was done in the State with a 3.5 crore population, he said. Meanwhile, State BJP president and MP Bandi Sanjay

Parties in Andhra Pradesh express diverse views on KCR launching BRS

The ruling YSR Congress sought to play it safe and the principal opposition Telugu Desam Party chose to remain silent while the BJP attacked the transformation of Telangana Rashtra Samithi into Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). Asked about the emergence of BRS, TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu merely smiled, and remained mum. K Chandrasekhara Rao, who decided to convert his regional party TRS into BRS with ambitions to play a role in national politics, was once a member of the TDP and worked under Chandrababu Naidu. For the past few days since KCR started working on his new plans, there has been talk that he might seek to draw some of his erstwhile colleagues in the TDP into the BRS-fold to make a presence in Andhra Pradesh. It will, however, be interesting to see if KCR succeeds to make any impact in Andhra Pradesh on which he only spews venom. Interestingly, KCR, who nurtured national ambitions even in 2018, tried to befriend YSRC president Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, as part of forging a f

BJP diverting people's attention from real issues, says K T Rama Rao

BJP is highlighting the issue of polarisation to divert people's attention from rising prices, TRS working president K T Rama Rao alleged on Saturday. The job of the government is to provide education, health, drinking water, good roads, law and order, but they are not the priority of the party, he said in an apparent reference to the BJP. Instead, they (BJP) talk about what one should eat, speak and do, and keep mum when asked about the price of LPG cylinder going up to Rs 1,000, he said. "GDP is rising in the country. You know what GDP is? Gas, diesel and petrol. Their prices are rising. They (BJP) don't talk about that. Then, how to divert (public attention)? (They talk about) Halal, hijab, Munawar Faruqui," said Rama Rao, son of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. "Which God tells us to fight among ourselves in His name? Has any God said so? God of any religion?," he said at an event held for launching study material for B R Ambedkar Open University competitive examination. T
