Telangana government on Friday announced a schedule for 20 recruitment notifications for 2024-25, keepings its poll promise of bringing out a job calendar.

Making the statement in the Assembly, Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu said the vacancies would be announced along with the notification of each recruitment examination.

While the Treasury Benches expressed their acceptance by thumping the tables, members of the Opposition, the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), demanded that a discussion be taken up on the calendar as it had no mention of the vacancies.

Vacancies not mentioned in the job calendar

Mr. Vikramarka, however, clarified that it was a calendar of the dates of notifications and that vacancies are not mentioned in it; that figure would only be given when the actual notification is issued.

When the Chair refused to take up the discussion on the grounds that the Minister only made a statement, the BRS members trooped into the Well demanding a discussion.

The Speaker promised them that once the Deputy Chief Minister returned from the Legislative Council he would give them an opportunity, but they did not relent. Chief Whip Adi Srinivas objected to the BRS members’ behaviour and alleged that the BRS MLAs only wanted to get suspended from the House for publicity. The protest in the Well continued despite the Speaker saying that rules don’t allow discussion on a statement. They later left the Assembly to stage a protest outside.

Cabinet decision

The decision to announce the calendar was taken at the Cabinet meeting on Friday under the chairmanship of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy. The job calendar was one of the major poll promises of the Congress, and it was also a key demand of unemployed youth.
