Group-I aspirants plan campaigns against Congress in view of polls in different States
Candidates are planning to campaign against the Congress party in upcoming local body elections in the State and also the ensuing Maharashtra assembly elections
Hyderabad: Furious over the Congress government not resolving their issues, some Group – I aspirants are planning to channelize their frustration with the State government into a focused campaign against Congress party in the ensuing elections in the different states.
In order to draw attention of the top leadership of the grand-old party over their issues, including controversial GO 29, the Group – I aspirants intend to drive a campaign against Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who is making electoral debut from Wayanad, Kerala.
Stating that the GO 29 violates the rule of reservation in the Group – I Main exam selections, the aspirants plan to take the campaign into people that the grand old party is against the reservations. Candidates also are planning to campaign against the Congress party in upcoming local body elections in the State and also the ensuing Maharashtra assembly elections.
“The idea behind the campaign is to ensure that the issues of the unemployed youth in Telangana reach the Congress top leadership. This is just a plan,” said a Group – I aspirant.
The issue stemmed from the issuance of GO-29 by the Congress government. Earlier, the previous BRS government issued a GO 55, allowing candidates from the SC, ST and BC categories to compete in both open and reserved quota based on merit secured in the examination.
However, the Congress government issued GO 29 restricting the SC, ST and BC candidates to the reserved candidates even if they secured high marks for the open category selection.
The new GO disqualified several aspirants who were earlier eligible under the earlier rules. While the issue reached the Supreme Court, the candidates could not get immediate relief. The apex court asked the High Court, where aspirants challenged the GO, to hear the matter expeditiously before the Group – I results were declared, preferably on November 20.
The Group – I aspirants have been demanding cancellation of GO 29 besides implementing the rule of reservation. Also, since the TGPSC had stated in the High Court that Telugu Akademi books were not standard, the aspirants have also been demanding the Commission provide them clarity over standardized textbooks for competitive exams preparation.
