Hyderabad: Osmania University students and Bharat Rashtra Samithi Vidyarthi Vibhagam (BRSV) leaders staged a unique protest in the backdrop of Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Hyderabad.
Student leaders recalled how Rahul Gandhi, during the election campaign, had interacted with unemployed youth over tea at the Chikkadpally Central Library and a tea stall in Ashok Nagar, promising to provide 2 lakh jobs every year.
They pointed out that nearly three years after coming to power, the Congress government has failed to deliver on its promise of filling six lakh jobs, alleging that not even 10,000 jobs have been filled so far.
The student organisations demanded that Rahul Gandhi visit the Chikkadpally Central Library and the Ashok Nagar tea stall during his Bharat Summit visit, have tea with unemployed youth once again.
As part of the protest, BRSV leaders placed a chair with Rahul Gandhi’s photograph at the Ashok Nagar tea stall and staged a symbolic protest by sitting around it and having tea.
BRSV leaders Srikanth and Nagender, along with several students, participated in the protest.
