The Yuva Rajyam city cell on Thursday staged a 'Chalo Secretariat' rally demanding that the state government fill up vacant posts in various departments.
Flagging off the rally from Indira Park to Secretariat, Yuva Rajyam city wing president M Diwakar criticized the state government for not filling up vacant posts in various departments since the past 1 year.
"Though the Congress leaders are utilizing the services of youth, they failed to provide proper employment to them," Diwakar alleged.
The protestors tried to enter the Secretariat and submit a memorandum on the issue to Chief Minister K Rosaiah. The police, however, refused to allow them inside, saying that they had not taken an appointment earlier.
This led to an argument between the protestors and the police, and the protestors tried to barge inside the premises. The police foiled their attempt and took them into custody. They were shifted to a nearby police station.
