TRS demands 80% jobs for locals in T region

HYDERABAD: Following the footsteps of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), the TRS has decided to launch an agitation demanding 80 per cent jobs to locals in private and corporate sectors in the Telangana region.

TRS politburo member and former MP B Vinod Kumar said the party was conducting a survey to find out the percentage of jobs offered to Telangana people in every private company owned by industrialists belonging to non-T region or other states.

Alleging that the private companies are giving priority to people from other regions, he said after getting a detailed report, TRS will write letters to all such managements asking them to provide jobs to locals. If they do not fall in line, TRS will organise “gate crash agitations” and force them to shut units.

The TRS also demanded the government to bring changes in the new industrial policy, to be unveiled in April first week, facilitating more employment opportunities to local people in private sector. The TRS was demanding jobs to people based on their “origin”.

He pointed out that neighbouring states like Karnataka, TN and Kerala have already adopted such policies of providing jobs to locals. “Most of the companies established in and around Hyderabad have been owned by non-Telangana industrialists. So they should provide jobs to locals,” Vinod reasoned out.
