Soon after the announcement, unemployed youth, students and party activists at several places across the State burst crackers. They also performed Palabhishekam (pouring of milk) to Mr. Rao’s flexi.
MLC K. Kavitha said that 17 years of struggle to fill the vacant posts was realised with the statement of Chief Minister.
“This is a history. Never in the past did any Chief Minister announced filling of so many posts. 95% of posts will be reserved for locals with the zonal system,” said Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Minister E. Dayakar Rao. He said that 1.34 lakh posts were already filled.
Endowments Minister A Indrakaran Reddy met the Chief Minister and thanked him for the announcement. “The TRS stands as the only government in history which fulfilled its promises made during elections,” said Mr. Indrakaran Reddy. Announcing calendar to fill posts shows the commitment of the government towards unemployed, he said.
