Hyderabad: For third consecutive day, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi members staged a walkout from Lok Sabha on Thursday after Speaker Om Birla rejected an adjournment motion notice over the employment situation in India. They raised slogans against the Central government for its failure to implement the electoral promise of providing two crore jobs per annum over the last eight years since the BJP came to power at the Centre.
In his notice, TRS Lok Sabha floor leader Nama Nageshwara Rao submitted that there are over one million jobs lying vacant ‘under the control of Central government’. “Paradoxically, it is against the two crore jobs promised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Reports of suicide by educated unemployed continue unabated. This needs serious deliberation,” the notice read.
Speaking to mediapersons, the TRS Lok Sabha floor leader said the unemployment rate in the country has increased significantly since 2014. He stated that the Modi government failed to provide two crore jobs per annum to unemployed youth in the country and did not even fill over 10 lakh vacancies in the government departments and affiliated organisations. He demanded that the union government release a white paper on the number of vacancies filled in various government departments and affiliated organisations in the last eight years.
