Unemployed Bus Yatra from Nov 15
Meanwhile the Manikrao Thakre, the AICC (TS) incharge has approved the proposal for the ‘Unemployed Bus Yatra’ which will be taken across all the Assembly constituencies from November 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.
“The BRS government policies which were adopted during the last two tenures proved to be against the welfare of the unemployed youth. 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.
