NDA government betrayed jobless youth and students, says former CM Jagan Mohan Reddy
VIJAYAWADA: YSRCP president and former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy slammed the TDP-led NDA government for betraying unemployed youth and students. In a post on X, he praised participants of the YSRCP-organised statewide 'Yuvatha Poru', commending their efforts to highlight the government's failure to deliver on election promises. Jagan expressed outrage over the police lathi-charge on peacefully protesting students in Narasaraopet, questioning the coalition's violent response to youth submitting a representation to the District Collector. Recalling the TDP's election promise of Rs 3,000 monthly allowance for the unemployed, he said it remains unfulfilled even after one year. He also criticised the coalition for neglecting education schemes. He highlighted that Rs 4,200 crore in fee reimbursement under Jagananna Vidya Deevena remains pending across six quarters from January 2024 to June 2025, with only Rs 750 crore released. Similarly, Rs 2,200 crore is due under the Vasathi Deevena for two instalments. This Rs 6,400 crore shortfall has forced many students to abandon education for work, he said. Jagan accused Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of suppressing dissent instead of fulfilling commitments, labelling the Narasaraopet lathi-charge as evidence of the NDA's oppressive 'Red Book' governance.

Jagan slams Andhra govt for failing to support students, unemployed youth
YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has lashed out at the ruling TDP-led coalition government, accusing it of betraying youth and students. Hailing the statewide 'Yuvatha Poru (youth struggle)' protest led by his party on Monday against the alleged unfulfillment of giving unemployment allowances, Reddy on Tuesday said that the government has failed to honour its promises, such as jobs and education support. "The lathi-charge on students in Narasaraopet exposed the government's violent, intolerant nature," the former chief minister said in a post on 'X', referring to police dispersing the protesters in Narasaraopeta city in Palnadu district. The former CM questioned why students were allegedly assaulted for simply submitting representations and asking for the implementation of the Rs 3,000 monthly unemployment allowance as promised by the TDP during the election campaign. Reddy questioned how many of the 1.25 crore unemployed youth in the state received the allowance. The YSRCP supremo further alleged that Rs 6,400 crore in dues from the erstwhile YSRCP government schemes, Jagananna Vidya Deevena and Vasathi Deevena, remained unpaid, "forcing students to abandon education and seek jobs." He alleged that only Rs 750 crore was released from the Rs 4,200 crore due under the fee reimbursement scheme, while Rs 2,200 crore was pending under hostel assistance. He warned Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu against crushing dissent and declared that betrayal, lies, and neglect would not go unpunished by the people.

Jagan slams TDP coalition's ‘betrayal of students, unemployed
Tadepalli: YSRC Ppresident YS Jagan Mohan Reddy accused the coalition government of betraying unemployed youth and students in the state. In a statement on X, he praised participants of the YSRCP-organised statewide 'Yuvatha Poru' protest for raising their voices against the government's deception and negligence. Reddy expressed outrage over the police lathi-charge on 'peacefully protesting' students in Narasaraopet, questioning the government's violent response to students submitting a representation to the district collector. He reminded of the TDP's election promise of a Rs 3,000 monthly unemployment allowance, backed by printed bonds distributed to youth and publicised in their manifesto and allied media, which reported 1.25 crore people awaiting jobs. Yet, after a year in power, the government has not disbursed any unemployment assistance, betraying the youth, Jagan Mohan Reddy said. He further criticised the coalition for failing to release funds under education schemes from his tenure. Under Jagananna Vidya Deevena, Rs 4,200 crore in fee reimbursements remains pending across six quarters (January 2024–June 2025), with only Rs 750 crore released. Similarly, Rs 2,200 crore is due under Vasathi Deevena for two instalments (April 2024 and April 2025). This Rs 6,400 crore shortfall has forced many students to drop out and seek work. The YSRCP chief accused Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of suppressing dissent instead of fulfilling promises, calling the Narasaraopet lathi-charge a sign of the coalition's oppressive 'Red Book' governance. He warned that the government's 'lies and betrayal' would face public judgment and urged Naidu to honour commitments before it's too late.

YSRCP youth wing flays govt's indifference towards students
Chittoor: Protesting the State government's 'indifference' towards students and unemployed youth, the YSRCP youth wing held a protest rally (Poru Bata) from Amul Dairy to the Collectorate in Chittoor and submitted a memorandum to district in-charge Collector G Vidyadhari on Monday. The leaders criticised the NDA government for failing to create new jobs and not delivering on its promise of unemployment allowance among other things. Speaking on the occasion, Regional Coordinator Hemant Reddy criticised the coalition government for failing to create new jobs, not delivering on its promise of unemployment allowance, and even removing existing jobs, thereby jeopardising the livelihoods of lakhs. He alleged that vital schemes like Jagananna Vidya Deevena and Vasathi Deevena, which supported lakhs of students from poor families, have been neglected, pushing families into debt. He stated that Rs 3,900 crore is required for fee reimbursement and hostel maintenance for 2024–25, but only Rs 2,600 crore has been allocated in the budget for 2025–26, leaving a shortfall. The protestors demanded immediate release of the pending Rs 7,800 crore funds. The leaders also condemned mass layoffs including 2.66 lakh village volunteers, 18,000 AP Beverages employees, 2,000 AP FiberNet workers, and field assistants under the employment guarantee scheme. They decried the halting of recruitment of medical specialists and the cancellation of mobile dispensing vehicles, affecting 20,000 families. Chittoor youth president DC Manoj Reddy demanded the release of a Job Calendar and immediate notifications for government posts. He pointed out that despite a promise of Rs 3,000 monthly unemployment allowance, the government has not allocated a single rupee over two budgets. Several youth wing state and constituency leaders including Chenga Reddy, Kishore, Dorababu among others participated in the demonstration.
