Harish Rao flays notification for supply of liquor, instead of jobs for Telangana youth

Senior BRS leader and former minister T. Harish Rao has harshly criticized the Revanth Reddy-led government in Telangana for issuing a notification to supply 121 brands of liquor, instead of providing job notifications for the thousands of unemployed youth in the state. Rao questioned the urgency and prioritization of the liquor supply notification over job opportunities, which he believed were a more pressing concern for the future of the state's youth.

He pointed out that while young people were eagerly competing for jobs by completing their education, the government appeared to be more focused on boosting liquor sales by expanding the number of outlets and brands to generate revenue. Rao also highlighted the government's failure to fulfill its promise made before the 2023 Assembly elections to provide two lakh jobs within the first year of their rule.
