Politician Y S Sharmila today toured Telangana's Nalgonda district.
She left for her destination at 7:30 am from her Lotus Pond residence and visited the district's Miryalaguda town where she called on several families. Through her interactions, she found out about the problems they were facing.
The leader initially visited the house of one Mohammad Saleem in Bangaru Gadda area.
Later, she toured the Huzurnagar town a well. The family of one Neelakanta, who was scheduled to meet her, locked up their house hours before her visit. A supporter of the leader, Pitta Ram Reddy, alleged that the leaders of the ruling party, the TRS, had "taken away" Neelakanta from his residence just to keep him from meeting Sharmila.
The leader herself, however, was undeterred by this glitch, and proceeded to hold an interactive session with the unemployed youth of the area in front of Neelakanta's residence itself.
Speaking on the occasion, she said that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao ought to feel ashamed of himself for not fulfilling his promise of providing government jobs to the unemployed youth of the state, a promise he had made following the formation of Telangana.
Sharmila alleged that while 1,200 people sacrificed their lives for the formation of the state, hundreds of others were losing their lives even after its formation due to the non-issuance of long-promised job notifications.
She asked the TRS regime why it was still not filling the one lakh vacancies in the government departments of the state. She also demanded that the CM immediately release the aforementioned job notifications for the filling of 1.9 lakh vacant jobs, making clear the fact that she would take on the CM on Telangana soil for the welfare of the unemployed youth.
The leader then urged them not to commit suicide out of despair and assured them that she would fight for their rights.
Even while she was touring Medak district in the beginning of the month, she had
visited the family of Venkatesh, a youth who committed suicide on May 16 as he was reportedly dejected by the non-issuance of DSC job notifications in the state, and had flayed the state government for its "role" in the youth's death.
