YSRC Warns of Mass Stir Over Youth Job Concerns
A big political party in India called the YSRC organised a protest called a hunger strike, where people stop eating to show how serious they are about a problem.
The protest lasted three days and ended on Sunday.
The YSRC says many young people and students are upset because they cannot find jobs.
They also say the process of hiring people for government jobs is not fair.
The protest leaders want the Education Minister, Nara Lokesh, to leave his job.
A leader named Rahul Chakravarthy Reddy said the youth are 'burning with anger'.
He warned that if the government does not listen, there could be a huge protest like the ones seen in Delhi.
The YSRC is asking the government to make hiring for jobs fair and transparent.
YSRC youth wing secretary Rahul Chakravarthy Reddy warned of possible mass agitation over youth unemployment and alleged recruitment irregularities.
The warning came on the concluding day of a three-day YSRC relay hunger strike in the Pileru constituency.
Protesters demanded the resignation of Education Minister Nara Lokesh over alleged failures in recruitment and employment generation.
Reddy said the agitation could grow into a mass movement similar to protests witnessed in Delhi, cutting across political affiliations.
The YSRC urged the government to rectify alleged errors in recruitment and ensure transparency and fairness for job aspirants.
