BRS leader and former MP B Vinod Kumar participated in the protest held at the RDO office in Sircilla. Addressing the gathering, he found fault with the Centre for weakening labour laws and protecting the interests of corporate forces.

The Railway Minister himself had announced that there were six lakh vacancies in the railway department, he said and asked why the Centre was not taking the initiative to fill these vacancies. Stating that the union government was trying to hand over the railways to Ambani and Adani, he said lakhs of jobs were lying vacant in government banks too.
