CPI charges Naidu with deceiving unemployed youth
The state committee meeting of the All India Youth Federation was held at Mallaiah Lingam Bhavan here on Thursday. AIYF state president Mojjada Yugandhar presided over the meeting, in which CPI state executive member Gujjula Eswaraiah participated as the chief guest. Speaking at the meeting, Eswaraiah accused the Chief Minister of deceiving unemployed youth once again. He highlighted that during the election campaign, Naidu had promised to implement the 'Super Six' welfare schemes, including unemployment allowance.
He said that the Chief Minister had also pledged to create 20 lakh jobs within five years and enable youth to earn lakhs through work-from-home opportunities, preventing migration to other states or countries for employment. He said that though a year has passed since coming to power, the coalition government failed to fill the four lakh jobs, and criticised the government's failure to establish promised IT industries and industrial corridors in every district.
Eswaraiah mentioned the data from the 'Skill Census Survey' conducted in February by the government through village and ward secretariat employees, that over 1.56 crore people aged between 18 and 50 years in the state are without employment across 26 districts. He said that the survey revealed that while 52.69 lakh people are engaged in some form of work, 52.74 lakh are ready to take up any employment.
He pointed out that despite approximately 3.20 lakh vacant positions in various state government departments, the government has not released a white paper on filling these posts or issued notifications for recruitment. The AIYF announced plans to intensify their struggle for unemployed youth and called for making the upcoming workers' rally on August 23 in Ongole a success. Various state office bearers of AIYF, including Paruchuri Rajendra Babu, Gandala Santosh Kumar, and others, attended the meeting.

Fed up of 75 yrs of empty promises, Mainpuri villagers rebuild road on their own, and ban politicians
Ask anyone how the road came about. Pat comes the response: 'When we got tired of pleading for development, we joined forces and built a road.' It is another thing altogether that this drive was borne out of desperation and sheer frustration with netas and authorities alike for not coming forward to take care of the dirt track connecting the village to the main road in the last seven decades. Agra: Where there's a will, there is a road. Residents of Majra Rajpur village in Uttar Pradesh Mainpuri district can proudly claim to have themselves raised funds and relaid a road on their own. For decades, the 200 meter long and about 8 feet wide road of Majra Rajpur village, linking the village to the main Elabans Road, was in a dilapidated condition. Though there are other roads, they pass through Elabans village and are a lot longer, often congested. As soon as it rained, the road would get completely closed due to mud and waterlogging. Children faced trouble going to schools in the city and so did the people while taking patients to the hospital in Mainpuri. Villagers say that they demanded road construction from local leaders and officials during the tenure of all three governments of Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party and BJP, but no one paid attention. Located in Gram Panchayat Elabans under the Kishni development block, the village has a large number of Brahmin families as local residents. Ajay Mishra, a local resident, said that the villagers had submitted memorandums to the former MLAs as well as the incumbent Mainpuri MLA Brijesh Katheria for the construction of the road under the Pradhanmantri Gram Sadak Yojna but to no avail. The demand was also placed several times in the office of Dimple Yadav, the MP elected from Mainpuri. From the panchayat level to the district panchayat, the Block Development Officer (BDO), the tehsildar to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), no assurances were received. As soon as the elections came, all the leaders would promise to build the road only to disappear, the villagers recalled. Frustrated, the villagers decided that there was no point in waiting endlessly for the administration to build their road. About 20 youths and elders of the village raised Rs 70,000 with mutual cooperation. Broken bricks were laid for the road. The villagers picked up spades and started the work. Within a few days, a 200 meter roughly built brick road was completed and is now almost ready to link the village to the main road. 'We pleaded with the leaders and officials so many times that we began to feel ashamed of ourselves. So it was decided that the villagers will build the road on our own, and once it was built, no politicians will be allowed to enter the village through that road to ask for votes in the next elections,' Ajay, a villager, said. Another Annu Mishra said that there were about 250 residents and only 90 voters in the village. 'Everyone casts his or her vote, but still we have to struggle for even the basic necessities. We built this road out of self-respect. It is not just a brick road, it means that we don't have to beg in front of anyone now,' she asserted. Explaining the situation, Naresh Parmar, the representative of the village pradhan, said that a proposal was sent for the construction of a 200 m long concrete road but the village panchayat does not have funds. The road, he said, could only be built with funds from the development block or the Zila Panchayat. When contacted, officials of Mainpuri district expressed ignorance about this incident. Gopal Sharma, SDM Kishni, said that he would visit the village and ask the villagers about their problems.

Situation of many schools in state is deplorable: Satheesan
Kochi: Opposition leader VD Satheesan hit out at the govt on Saturday saying the situation of many schools across the state was deplorable. The condition of Thevalakkara school is particularly poor, according to the child rights commission, he said at a news conference in Kochi. Everyone is responsible for this condition, he said. "Govt needs to take the initiative to improve the poor state of schools. That's why opposition sent a letter to govt. An audit was initiated to check the safety of all schools in Paravur constituency. A questionnaire with 30 questions was prepared for this purpose," Satheesan said. "The audit will cover the safety of buildings and boundary walls, trees, kitchen hygiene and measures to prevent food poisoning. After receiving the audit report, various agencies, including govt, will be tasked with implementing necessary actions. Such tragic incidents should not happen again," he added. "It is not correct for a minister to say that the child should not have climbed up, which was the cause of the accident. Govt must take steps to prevent such incidents in future," he said. "Departments should not be blaming each other as everyone has the responsibility. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Govt's decision to resolve the strike at Kerala University is not being criticised. Opposition was the first to demand that the issues be resolved," Satheesan said. "It is the children who are caught in the conflict between govt and governor. Instead of discussing and resolving minor issues, a situation has been created where no one can enter universities in Kerala," Satheesan alleged. "If the protest was against the governor, why were universities shut down and staff and students beaten?" he asked. Satheesan expressed confidence of UDF coming back to power with over 100 seats. He said Rs 742 crores collected by govt for the poor in Wayanad was not being used. "Despite receiving such a large amount, no houses were built for the poor in Wayanad, no rent was provided, no assistance for the treatment of those with serious illnesses and no help for children's education was given," he alleged.
