Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has been targeting the BJP in municipal polls of Greater Hyderabad after his party’s defeat in the hands of BJP in Dubbaka bypolls.
Two weeks before the GHMC polls, KCR has written letters to President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In a letter, he urged the PM to permit the candidates appearing for a competitive examination to write the exam in regional language.
“At present, all the competitive exams for recruitment to posts in Central government, central public sector undertakings, Indian Railways, defence services, nationalised banks, etc, are held in only two languages, i.e. Hindi and English. The students who do not study in English Medium or those who are not from Hindi-speaking states are at a serious disadvantage in the competitive examinations,” stated the CM.
KCR noted that to provide an equal and fair opportunity to the students across India, the regional language should be allowed. These include examinations for recruitment in central departments and undertakings through UPSC and all other agencies like Railway Recruitment Boards, Public Sector Banks, RBI, Staff Selection Commission. Analysts feel that this letter was made public to garner the support of youth in the city.
In another letter to President Kovind, KCR requested him to release a commemorative stamp in memory of former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao. The CM mentioned in the letter “ P.V. Narasimha Rao was a reformer and a multi-faceted leader who not only initiated pioneering economic reforms but also made a substantial contribution to human resources development, international relations, rural development, science and technology, arts, culture and literature, etc.”
