Hyderabad: Former Minister T Harish Rao criticised the Revanth Reddy government over the notification issued for 121 liquor brands, questioning its delay in releasing job notifications for unemployed youth. He stated that lakhs of job seekers were waiting for employment opportunities while the government was moving swiftly on liquor-related notifications.
“Why is there such urgency for the liquor business when there is none for job notifications?” he asked.
Harish Rao said educated youth were completing degrees and post-graduation programmes while waiting for government jobs, but the government was instead expanding liquor outlets and brands to increase revenue.
He also accused the government of failing to fulfil its promise of two lakh government jobs and alleged that fee reimbursement and Rajiv Yuva Vikasam had failed to deliver. “Job notifications nil, liquor notifications full—is this the Praja Palana promised by Revanth Reddy?” he asked.
