Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chief spokesperson Dasoju Sravan on Wednesday advised caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao to understand the difference between elections and auction.“The Congress party had promised to give Unemployment Allowance of Rs 3,000 per month to jobless youth when it comes to power. Now, KCR repeated the promises by offering Rs 3,016 seeking votes for the TRS.
This is not an auction where you are buying votes by increasing the price by Rs 16,” said Sravan while addressing a press conference. Similarly, he said KCR has added Rs 16 to the amount promised by the Congress to beneficiaries of Aasara pension. “Does KCR think that people will vote for the TRS because it is offering Rs 16 more than the Congress party?” he asked and accused the TRS chief of humiliating the youth and poor people.
Sravan also accused Chandrashekar Rao of misleading the people on real figures of unemployment. He pointed out that while addressing a press conference on Tuesday the caretaker Chief Minister claimed that the total number of unemployed youth in Telangana was nearly 12 lakh.
He arrived at this figure from the findings of Intensive Household Survey (IHS). Sravan said that over 18 lakh eligible candidates have registered themselves with the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) for various jobs. Further, there are equal number of college and school drop outs who are jobless. Therefore, as per the rough estimates, the total number of unemployed youth in Telangana is about 30 lakhs.
Demanding that the Election Commission of India register a suo motto case against Chandrashekar Rao for inciting regional feelings Sravan accused the caretaker Chief Minister of spreading hatred by inciting regional feelings. “People feel proud to associate themselves with their motherland.
If a person born in Bengal feels proud in calling himself a Bengali or an individual takes pride in calling himself a Marathi because he was born in Maharashtra, then what is wrong in people born in Seemandhra relating themselves with their place of birth. KCR is trying to intimidate people of Seemandhra region by inciting regional feelings,” he said.
