According to sources, the chief minister has planned the placement of 18,000 vacancies, with the appointment process to be completed in phases by August next year. However, the 2024-25 job calendar did not reflect the number of vacancies and posts available across all government departments in Telangana.
Following the release of the Telangana job calendar 2024-25, Bharat Rahstra Samithi (BRS) leaders protested against the ambiguity behind the number of government job posts available.
The BRS alleged that none of the two lakh promised jobs have been filled in a year.
