BJP questions Lokesh’s elevation to minister post

Vijayawada: The members of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha protested in a novel way against the ruling TDP government which “failed to fulfill the promises given to the youth of Andhra Pradesh at the time of elections in 2014.”

The protesters sported flowers in ears and begged at Dharna Chowk here on Friday.

They blamed Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for giving employment to his son Nara Lokesh who was not eligible as a minister.

The BJP city president, A Sriram said that the state government had failed miserably to fulfill the promises given to the unemployed youth of the state. 

The buzz word by the TDP before 2014 election ‘Babu vaste Job vastundi’ had made them win elections. However, after elections were over, the TDP forgot the promises and cheated the jobless youth, he said.

BJYM state leader Ch Rajinikanth said that the people of AP would teach Naidu a lesson in the coming 2019 elections. 

He recalled that Naidu had promised job to every family or Rs 2,000 unemployment dole in 2014 manifesto, free Tablet computers to all college going students, fill vacancies by announcing calendar year, interest-free loans for unemployed youth up to Rs 1 lakh, NTR study circle to every district and forgot all these after coming to power. 

He flayed the government for announcing unemployment dole of Rs 1,000 to a few youth after four years of ruling.

The members demanded the government to pay Rs 2,000 unemployment dole, release notification and fill all vacant posts.

P Govind, Venkaiah Naidu, G Durgaprasad, Harish Vyas, Umamaheswara Rao, M Ramesh, Ramakrishna and others were present.
