The Andhra Pradesh Government has come under severe criticism from the Opposition for its claims of having filled up more than six lakh job vacancies in different Government departments, in the last two years.
Political parties including the TDP have also accused the Jagan Mohan Reddy-led dispensation of “cheating” unemployed youth in the State by releasing an employment calendar to fill just 10,000 positions, after making tall promises to give lakhs of jobs before coming to power.
On June 18, Jagan had released the 'job calendar,' fixing the schedule for recruitment of 10,143 posts over the next nine months.
During the event, the CM claimed that 6,03,756 jobs were created by his Government in the last two years.
Also, he said 51,387 posts in the newly created Public Transport department were filled while it was nothing but absorption of the State Road Transport Corporation employees into the government.
Through the AP Public Service Commission, 2,475 regular posts were filled but the process began during the previous TDP regime in 2017-18.
