Leaders of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) on Wednesday warned that they would intensify their agitation and, if necessary, lay siege to the Assembly if the State government failed to address the issues faced by unemployed youth. Addressing a protest at Dharna Chowk in Vijayawada, DYFI State secretary G. Ramanna accused the coalition government of neglecting unemployed youth and failing to fill vacancies in various departments. He said the State Cabinet had approved 2,260 Special Education Teacher posts for students with special needs in April last year and had even released a recruitment schedule.
However, the government had failed to issue the notification, he alleged, demanding that all vacancies be filled through direct recruitment. Ramanna also pointed out that many job aspirants had crossed the upper age limit due to the absence of regular recruitment notifications over the past eight years. He demanded that the age limit be enhanced to 47 years to enable such candidates to compete for government jobs. The DYFI urged the government to fill all vacant posts and ensure fairness in DSC recruitment.
Questioning the government’s claims on employment generation, Mr. Ramanna said different Ministers had announced varying figures and demanded that the government disclose the exact number of jobs created during the last two years. He also sought details of industries established in the State and the employment generated through them. DYFI State committee member P. Krishna and leaders M.V. Ramana and Kasapuram Ramesh demanded implementation of election promises made to youth, including payment of unemployment allowance.
Kula Vyatireka Porata Samithi (KVPS) State secretary Andra Malyadri extended support to the protest. Several DYFI leaders and activists participated in the demonstration.
