Congress Deputy Floor leader in Telangana Assembly T Jeevan Reddy has demanded that the Telangana government ensure jobs to locals in the proposed private and public sector industries being set up with government subsidies as per rule of reservation.
In a letter addressed to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Saturday, Jeevan Reddy stated that extending subsidies like allocation of land, water, power, roads and VAT for establishment of industries in Telangana region was a welcome sign. The industries, which were going to get various subsidies from the government, have to provide jobs to the locals, Daliths, Minorities like Muslims and Christians as per Presidential Order and Article 371-D, he stated. He also urged the government to enact laws to ensure jobs to local people only. (NSS)
