Unemployed JAC criticises YSRCP's call to observe June 4 as backstabbing day
Vijayawada: Unemployed JAC state convenor Sk Siddik stated that the people of Andhra Pradesh had decisively defeated Jagan's rule in the 2024 general assembly elections, reducing the YSRCP to just 11 seats, yet they showed no shame. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Addressing the media, Siddik said that instead of observing YSRCP's 'Backstabbing Day' on June 4, they would celebrate it as 'Heart Attack Day for Jagan.' Siddik accused the YSRCP of deceiving unemployed youth with false promises, including providing job calendars every year, filling 6,500 police jobs annually, and creating mega DSC jobs. However, failed to fulfill even a single promise. He also alleged that Prashant Kishore-led IPAC staged a drama by portraying women as investors but failed to provide even a single private job. Siddik questioned whether issuing notifications for 16,347 teacher jobs, filling 6,100 police constable posts, or chief minister Chandrababu Naidu and IT minister Lokesh's efforts to bring investments worth ₹9 lakh crore from Davos, creating employment for six lakh people, constituted 'backstabbing.' He challenged YSRCP leaders to an open debate on job creation.
