"go-29"

BRS MLC Dasoju Sravan has called for the cancellation of the Group-1 Main exam and withdrawal of GO 29, citing serious irregularities and systemic bias against Telugu-medium candidates. He demanded a judicial inquiry and a special Assembly session to address the issue.

The BRS has intensified its attack on the Congress-led Telangana government following the High Court’s scathing verdict on irregularities in the Group-1 Main examination. The party demanded the cancellation of the exam, withdrawal of GO 29, and dropping of cases against protesting job aspirants.

Unemployed Youth JAC leader A. Janardhan said on Tuesday that from December, unemployed youth will hold padayatras and bus yatras to highlight Congress's betrayal over its promise of jobs and unemployment allowance.

Candidates are planning to campaign against the Congress party in upcoming local body elections in the State and also the ensuing Maharashtra assembly elections

The bench, led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, noted that students had already arrived at examination centers and felt that issuing an interim order at this stage would cause "substantial dislocation" in conducting the exam, which the bench was unwilling to do.

Harish Rao said before the elections, Rahul Gandhi had begged for votes from unemployed youth after visiting libraries, but now the Congress government was resorting to lathicharges on job aspirants.

He said Revanth Reddy's tenure, where pressing issues were being ignored, was marked by false promises and deceptive governance

The government should immediately scrap it and reschedule the examinations, so that they could prepare for examinations properly, he said.

In a post circulated by the Group - I victims in the social media on Sunday, the aspirants said the downfall of Congress party had commenced in the State

The aspirants wanted the Telangana Public Service Commission (TGPSC) to reschedule the exams after final ruling by the High Court on November 20 and sought clear guidelines on reservation norms and a clarity on study material

This comes as the Supreme Court is to take up a special leave petition filed by the Group-I aspirants against the controversial GO 29 on Monday.

Several BRS leaders, including Sravan Dasoju, were detained at Saifabad Police Station. "While we were held, Union Minister Bandi Sanjay was allowed to hold a press meet without police interference. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy was readily accessible to BJP leader Bandi Sanjay, but not to the Group 1 aspirants. This clearly shows the unholy nexus," he said.

Speaking to reporters on Saturday about the ongoing protests by job aspirants against the Congress government's GO, Rao explained that the number of reserved category posts would decrease if individuals from that category secured jobs in the open category under the new GO.

Some Congress leaders, who were eyeing the Chief Minister post, were wishing the Group-I agitation to be intensified further and for the State government to fall, he said

Praveen Kumar criticized the ruling Congress party's MLAs, MLCs, and MPs for remaining silent on the issue, for not standing up for those who voted them to power.

The candidates also expressed concerns over incorrect question standards and confusing guidance they received regarding study materials. They shared these issues with Rama Rao, who assured them of his support and legal help.
