Jubilee Hills voters express dissatisfaction with Congress, call for BRS return

As the Jubilee Hills bypoll nears, voters have voiced strong dissatisfaction with the Congress party’s failure to deliver on six key guarantees promised during the assembly elections. Unemployed youth and pensioners are particularly vocal, citing delays in job notifications and welfare schemes.

Hyderabad: Voters of the Jubilee Hills constituency expressed anger at the Congress party’s failure to fulfill six guarantees ahead of the bypoll. The electorate’s dissatisfaction was palpable as promises made by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy under the banner of ‘Indiramma Rajyam’ at the time of the assembly elections remained unfulfilled.

Many voters said the party’s inability to deliver its guarantees would affect its performance in the bypoll.

With polling just eight days away, unemployed youth are among those voicing their anger over the long wait for job notifications, with hundreds of vacancies in government departments.

“Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy assured a job calendar every year, but it did not happen. Thousands of aspirants are ready to apply for the jobs and have spent lakhs of rupees on coaching. We are upset with the government’s attitude,” said 32-year-old Upendra, a resident of Mothi Nagar, who completed his MBA and is currently working with Uber Rentals.

Another postgraduate, Krishna Reddy, a resident of Vengalrao Nagar, is employed in a computer training institute at Ameerpet and earns Rs 20,000 per month.

“How long can I depend on this salary? I want to become a Group-1 officer. I took coaching a couple of years ago and am waiting for a job notification. My parents are pressuring me to marry as I have already crossed 40 years, but I refused their wish and said that unless I settle in a government job, I will not marry,” he said.

Regarding BRS, voters said they supported the party as they were concerned about HYDRAA‘s bulldozer activities and demolition spree that affected hundreds of poor families’ shelters. They strongly felt that the BRS must return to power for the welfare of the State.

Voters also expressed concerns over welfare schemes and pension delays under the Congress government.

“Voters and pensioners in Yousufguda, Krishna Nagar, Venkatagiri and Rahmath Nagar said the return of the BRS to power was vital for the welfare of the State. A few Aasara pensioners said that during the BRS government, they used to receive their monthly pension on time, but under the Congress government, uncertainty prevails over when they will get the pensions,” they said.

“The BRS government launched ‘Sanna Biyyam’ (super fine rice) scheme when it was in power in the State, but Congress claimed that they introduced it. The PDS system collapsed due to lack of supervision by the Civil Supplies department during the Congress rule” said 63-year-old G Janaiah, a resident of SPR Hills.
