The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee is planning to launch a special drive to make unemployed youth of Telangana vote for the party in next Assembly elections.
According to this, the Congress cadre will reach out to unemployed youth through both online and offline mode.
"The Congress party has already promised that it will create lakhs of jobs, both in public and private sectors, if it wins the next Assembly elections.
We will also give Unemployment Allowance of Rs. 3,000 each to all jobless youth. Through a focussed campaign, we want to convey this message to each and every jobless youth of Telangana," TPCC chief N Uttam Kumar Reddy said.
In the initial phase, the Congress party is planning to reach out to at least 10 lakh out of nearly 30 lakh jobless youth.
"If you need a job or at least Unemployment Allowance, connect with Congress party," is likely to be tagline for Congress party's special campaign.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said that Telangana became a reality due to the struggle and sacrifices made by students and youth. However, they faced only disappointment under TRS regime.
"The next Congress Government will come up with a comprehensive plan to create lakhs of jobs every year. The previous Congress Government had initiated Information Technology Investment Region (ITIR) project which would have created over 50 lakh jobs so far.
However, TRS Government did not pursue the project and both TRS and BJP Governments have contributed in taking the unemployment level in Telangana to its peak.
Thousands of industries and small businesses were closed leading to loss of lakhs of jobs due to demonitisation. But KCR's love for PM Modi overshadowed the concern for jobless youth of Telangana and he supported the BJP Government's insane move," he said.
