Telangana Agriculture Minister S Niranjan Reddy today urged the graduate voters of the state to cast their votes with "utmost foresight" in the upcoming MLC elections in the graduates' constituencies of Hyderabad-Rangareddy-Mahabubnagar and Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda.
Speaking to the media at his residence in Wanaparthy, the minister alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP-led Centre were "taking away" employment opportunities from the youth of the country by privatising many PSUs, and were depriving the people of the state of jobs by
not sanctioning the ITIR and other promised projects.
"The Modi government's unscientific and illogical decisions and policies have once again jeopardised the fate of the youth of the country. On the one hand it is not generating any employment, and on the other it is taking away existing jobs by privatising many PSUs. With its flawed policy-making, the drop in the growth rate of the country, which has fallen from 10% in 2014 to 7% now, hardly comes as surprise," the TRS leader said.
Like many other leaders in the state who have been
lashing out at the Modi regime for the incessant rise in the prices of fuel, he also lambasted the Centre for "burdening" the country's poor by increasing the prices of petrol and diesel.
Reddy then urged the graduate voters to stand by the TRS in the upcoming MLC elections, promising them that it was committed to the holistic development of Telangana and its people.
