On Saturday, the telangana Martyrs Memorial in Gun Park ended an 11-day bus yatra staged by unemployed young to promote awareness about the need of voting for a government that answers their goals. The jobless teenagers sang songs and told short tales at street corner gatherings during the yatra, according to the organisers, underlining the hardships they face owing to a lack of work. People's response, particularly in rural, was extraordinary, according to the organisers.

"We used to stop for over half an hour in every village to educate the people on the problems faced by unemployed youth," said yatra coordinator indra Prasad Naik. We also emphasised the BRS government's failure to create jobs over its 10-year tenure beginning in 2014." Naik attributed the yatra's success to rigorous planning and preceding information given with the youngsters via whatsapp groups and the Telegram app. More than two lakh young people joined these organisations, adding to the yatra's success.

Naik underlined the need to teach the State government a lesson for failing to organise recruitment examinations through the telangana State Public service Commission (TSPSC), citing the BRS's lackadaisical approach towards young employment. After the yatra, human rights campaigner Prof. G. Haragopal addressed the youngsters in Gun Park, praising their efforts to raise awareness about the difficulties faced by unemployed youth. Given the obstacles that the youth confront, he asked the political party that will form the government to promote employment in government ministries.
