Congress Govt resolving unemployment crisis, spearheading North Telangana’s growth: Uttam
Karimnagar, February 10: Irrigation and Civil Supplies Minister Capt. N. Uttam Kumar Reddy stated that the Congress government has been making historic strides in job creation and regional development. It has been addressing the deep-rooted unemployment crisis that the previous BRS government neglected for over a decade. He asserted that, within just one year of coming to power, the Congress government filled 55,000 government posts, including 11,000 teaching positions, while also ensuring long-pending promotions for teachers.
He spoke at a massive public gathering on Monday during the nomination event of Congress candidate Narender Reddy from the Karimnagar-Nizamabad-Adilabad-Medak Graduate constituency in Karimnagar. Uttam Kumar Reddy lambasted the BRS government for failing to provide employment opportunities despite ruling for ten years. He accused the previous KCR regime of ignoring the youth’s aspirations, leaving thousands of vacancies unfilled, and depriving educated job seekers of opportunities.
“In just one year, the Congress government has shown what true governance looks like. Unlike the previous administration, which pushed the youth into uncertainty, we launched a structured employment drive. We are not stopping at 55,000 jobs—our government has a clear roadmap to fill two lakh more vacancies in various departments, ensuring that every deserving candidate gets a fair chance,” Uttam Kumar Reddy declared.
Reaffirming the Congress government’s commitment to balanced regional growth, Uttam Kumar Reddy said that North Telangana, particularly districts like Karimnagar, Adilabad, Nizamabad, and Medak, had suffered severe neglect under the BRS regime. Irrigation projects meant to boost agriculture were stalled, funds were misused, and infrastructure growth remained sluggish, affecting both farmers and industrial progress in the region.
“The Congress government prepared a comprehensive roadmap to complete all pending irrigation projects in North Telangana, ensuring that every acre of farmland gets adequate water. Unlike the previous administration, which only made empty promises, we are delivering on the ground,” he stated. He emphasized that irrigation projects would be executed on priority, with an emphasis on cost-effectiveness and long-term sustainability.
Uttam Kumar Reddy further said that the Congress government was focusing on agriculture and laying a strong foundation for industrial and infrastructural growth. He highlighted that new policies were being formulated to encourage investment, generate employment, and improve connectivity in North Telangana, ensuring that the region became a hub of economic activity.
The event witnessed an impressive show of unity and strength from Congress leaders, with prominent figures including Ministers Duddilla Sridhar Babu, Ponnam Prabhakar, D. Seethakka, Konda Surekha, Jupally Krishna Rao, and Damodar Raja Narasimha, TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud, and MLC T. Jeevan Reddy, along with several district leaders.
Uttam Kumar Reddy urged party workers and voters to ensure Narendra Reddy’s victory in the graduate constituency elections, emphasizing that Congress was the only party that truly understood and delivered on the aspirations of Telangana’s people.
“The people of Telangana gave ten years to the BRS government, but they failed to deliver even basic governance. In just one year, Congress has shown what real commitment and leadership mean. The progress we achieved in employment and development was just the beginning. The next four years will see an even greater transformation,” he assured.
The Congress government, he added, was not just fixing past mistakes but setting Telangana on the path to a brighter, more prosperous future—one where every youth found employment, every farmer had access to water, and every region, including North Telangana, saw equitable growth. (eom)
