Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has urged Group-I job aspirants to stop their protests, warning that they might lose a “golden chance” if they continue. He advised them not to be misled by Opposition parties, who he claims are exploiting the situation for political gains, potentially harming the future of the aspirants.
Speaking at the closing ceremony of a three-day police event at the Telangana Police Academy on Saturday, the Chief Minister highlighted that the High Court had dismissed petitions regarding the Group-I recruitment process. He stated that the notification could not be changed at this stage and that the process must continue as planned. Revanth Reddy assured the candidates that the exams were being conducted fairly under GO 29 and advised them to ignore any false information circulating about the exams.
The Chief Minister explained that candidates were selected for the Mains exam based on merit, with a ratio of 1:50 from the Preliminary exam results. “Nearly 95% of candidates have already received their hall tickets. Only 4 to 5% are pending. This is a golden opportunity. Please end the protest and don’t worry,” he said.
Revanth Reddy also accused opposition political parties of trying to provoke job aspirants for their own political gain. He said these parties had failed to create jobs during their own tenures and were now creating unrest among the aspirants for selfish reasons. He urged police not to file cases against the protesting candidates, as it could harm their future prospects, and expressed hope that they would attend the Mains exams starting from October 21.
In other announcements, the Chief Minister revealed that the State government plans to establish a “Young India Police School” for the children of police officers. The school, which will be built on 50 acres, will meet international standards and begin offering classes from 5th to 8th grade next academic year, with plans to expand to higher grades and eventually include college-level education.
In a message to Tollywood film celebrities, Revanth Reddy made it clear that only movies supporting awareness campaigns against drugs and cyber crimes would be exempted from ticket price hikes. “Movies that include separate videos for these campaigns will qualify for exemptions. This is part of a social responsibility initiative,” he said.
