Unemployed Bus Yatra from Nov 15

This bus yatra which will be flagged off by ‘top intellectuals’ from the State who were part of the Telangana movement from Martyrs memorial in Hyderabad will ‘expose’ the government policies which have failed the youth and their aspirations which were promised at the time of formation of the State. Rahul Gandhi is also likely to interact with the ‘unemployed’ youth during his presence in Telangana.

We shall be educating the youth across the State with this bus yatra, about the injustice they have meted out under BRS” explained Dr Riyaz, PCC spokesperson to The Hans India. According to Riyaz the party will not only involve the unemployed youth in the campaign but also roping in top intellectuals like Prof Haragopal, besides TJS chief Prof M Kodandaram and parties in alliance like CPI. The bus yatra in the beginning will cover the northern parts of the State and later tour constituencies in the Southern region.
