AP: Modi Govt Committed to Development of Telugu States: MoS Bandi Sanjay
Guntakal (Anantapur Dist.) May 23 (TNT): Union Minister of State (MoS) for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Saturday said the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre was committed to the development of the Telugu states and asserted that Andhra Pradesh was receiving the highest benefits in South India under Modi 3.0 governance.
Addressing after handing over appointment letters to 120 candidates during the Rozgar Mela programme at the Railway Officers’ Club Auditorium here, Bandi Sanjay said projects worth more than ₹3 lakh crore had been launched in Andhra Pradesh during the past two years due to the presence of a “double-engine government” at the Centre and in the state.
He further claimed that the Centre had allocated ₹12 lakh crore for the development of Telangana over the last 12 years and said people in Telangana were also aspiring for a double-engine government.
Congratulating the newly recruited candidates, he said the Centre had so far filled 11 lakh government jobs without corruption, recommendations or middlemen since the launch of the Rozgar Mela initiative in October 2022.
He alleged that in the past, jobs were often secured through leaks, recommendations and brokers, but under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, only merit-based recruitment was being followed.
The Union Minister urged the recruits to work with the slogan “Nation First, Family Next” and encouraged them to improve their skills through the Karmayogi portal.
Recalling his earlier protests demanding jobs in Telangana, Bandi Sanjay said he had personally witnessed the hardships faced by unemployed youth and claimed the Centre was continuously filling vacancies while state governments were unable to provide adequate employment opportunities.
Referring to global economic challenges arising from international conflicts, including the Russia-Ukraine and America-Iran tensions, the Union Minister appealed to citizens to follow seven principles suggested by Prime Minister Modi to help maintain economic stability in the country.
The principles included reducing fuel consumption, using public transport and electric vehicles, minimising gold purchases, limiting edible oil consumption, promoting organic farming, encouraging purchase of Indian-made products under the “Vocal for Local” initiative and adopting work-from-home practices wherever possible.
South Central Railway (SCR) officials attended the event.
