Hyderabad: Telangana in charge of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) Manickam Tagore on Sunday questioned chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao over unemployment in the state.

AICC spokesperson Dasoju Sravan was quoted by The New Indian Express as saying, “The government tries to make-believe people that everything is under control regarding employment. What about private jobs, self-employment, and entrepreneurship? Is there a proper mechanism in place to address these issues? When there are lakhs of applications pending with finance corporations, how can you expect that self-employment to be generated?”

Sravan is hopeful that party leader Rahul Gandhi’s visit will highlight the unemployment issue. Gandhi will visit Osmania University on May 7.
