Rama Rao said that in more than seven months since the Congress came to power not a single new employment notification was issued.

"You personally met and promised the youth of Telangana that recruitment of 2 lakh government jobs would be completed within the first year after the Congress assumed office. Your party also released a 'job calendar' (full page advertisements) in all major newspapers along with dates. “It has been more than 7 months since his promise but not a single new job notification has been issued so far and more importantly, already. 10 promised dates have passed," said the BRS leader in his post on X.

"How will your government fulfill the 2 lakh recruitment process without issuing any notification? Please reply as none of the Telangana government officials seem to care," KTR, as Rama Rao is popularly known, added.

KTR published full-page advertisements published on the front page of newspapers, promising two lakh jobs with a work calendar, mentioning dates on which notifications will be issued for different categories of jobs.

Earlier in the day, BRS leader and former minister T. Harish Rao called up unemployed Joint Action Committee (JAC) leader Motilal Naik, who is on hunger strike for the past week, demanding job notifications.

Harish Rao criticized Rahul Gandhi for ignoring the plight of the unemployed in the state and questioned why he remained indifferent to hunger strikes and protests by job seekers.

"It is unfortunate that Motilal Naik has been on hunger strike for the last seven days without any response from the government," Harish Rao said.

On behalf of BRS, he appealed to Motilal to end his strike.

"This is not just his fight; he is fighting for lakhs of unemployed in Telangana. He has announced that he will end his strike only after the government takes action," he said.
