Deputy CM Bhatti to Group II aspirants: Govt will consider postponing exam to December

Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu said that the State government will consider postponing the Group II exam to December.

Bhatti Vikramarka who met Group II candidates at the Secretariat here on Friday said that the possibility of holding the exam in the last week of December will be discussed with the officials.

He also gave instructions to the Public Service Commission chairman Mahender Reddy to examine the issue of postponement of the Group II exam as appealed by the unemployed youth.

Congress answerable for its poll promise of providing jobs, says deputy CM

Stating that in three months, the government has filled 54,000 vacant posts, the deputy CM said that the job calendar will be announced after identifying more vacant posts and competitive examinations will be held without overlapping with the recruitment process.

Observing that Telangana State was achieved for providing jobs to the youth in the State, Bhatti noted that had the previous government filled vacancies in the last 10 years, lakhs of families would have settled by now.

“Revanth Reddy as the PCC Chief and I as the CLP leader made the issues raised by the unemployed youth as our party’s election agenda,” he said.

CM Revanth Reddy had stated that the sooner Telangana youth get jobs, the better for the State. “We are answerable to our conscience as we made an election promise,” he said, stating that it is the chief minister who asked him to talk to the Group II candidates and solve their problems.

If job notifications are delayed, the government would be spared the burden of providing salaries. But our government doesn’t think like that. We are keen to see our youth settle down and their families prosper, the deputy CM told the Group II candidates.

‘Don’t fall for propaganda and get trapped in cases’

The deputy CM also said that they are taking speedy measures to revamp the education system in Telangana.

He advised the youth not to fall into the trap of people with vested interests. “If you threaten or resort to blackmail at the instance of some selfish persons, you will get entangled in cases and ultimately you alone will suffer,” he cautioned.

Ambedkar Knowledge Centres across Telangana

The government will inaugurate the Ambedkar Knowledge Centres in every Assembly constituency in the coming days for those preparing for competitive examinations.

These knowledge centres were being set up with modern technology and free online coaching will be offered to those preparing for competitive exams from 10 am to 5 pm.

The services of the best subject matter experts in the country were being sought to train candidates in the competitive exams, he said.

The experts would teach lessons online with Hyderabad as the main centre. Those preparing for the exams could pose their questions online from their respective centres and seek clarifications to their doubts.

‘No need to live of Rs 5 meals in Ashok Nagar’

From now onwards those preparing for competitive exams need not suffer by subsisting on Rs 5 meals in Ashok Nagar, the deputy CM said.

Bhatti assured the job aspirants that they would make a detailed examination of every issue raised by them. “You are our children. Our desire is that the resources of the State and your intelligence should not go to waste. This Indiramma government will 100 per cent listen to your problems and resolve them,” he emphasised.
