Overview
- The government, replying in the Assembly on Wednesday, said recruitment processes for 67,763 posts were completed since it took office, with 16,978 filled through its own notifications and the rest from earlier drives.
- Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said the Congress administration issued 16 notifications to fill 31,798 vacancies, of which 16,978 resulted in appointments.
- The figures undercut Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s 2025 claim that his government filled 60,000 jobs in a year, since most appointments flowed from notifications issued by the previous BRS government.
- Officials cited pending court scrutiny of new SC and BC reservation decisions as the reason they paused fresh notifications from the state’s August 2024 job calendar, leaving many candidates waiting for exam schedules.
- The government said its campaign promise of ₹4,000 a month for unemployed youth remains under examination, and BRS leaders argued the data supports their view that Congress took credit for appointments already in the pipeline.
