, members of the
Telangana Nirudyoga JAC
on Friday tried to gherao the Secretariat.
Backed by various student organisations, the unemployed youth warned that they would organise a massive dharna if the state govt failed to release at least a few notifications before the panchayat elections.
"It is because of unemployed youth that the Congress govt has come to power. Now, they are least bothered to fulfil the promises made to the unemployed youth. The govt is completely neglecting us by delaying job opportunities. If they don't release at least a couple of notifications before the panchayat election dates are announced, the youth will teach them a lesson in the polls," said Umesh Madipeddi from the JAC, adding that a curfew-like situation prevailed at RTC Crossroads and near the Secretariat to foil '
Chalo Secretariat
' programme.
They alleged that tens of unemployed youth and student leaders were picked up by police on Thursday night to prevent them from reaching the Secretariat.
"The govt should implement the job calendar and issue notifications for jobs, fill all vacant positions in govt departments. It should focus on issuing job notifications with the same attention it shows in making arrests," said Anaganti Venkatesh, state secretary, DYFI.
He claimed that over 200 people were picked up by the police. Meanwhile, the police said that though a large number of people tried to reach the Secretariat, only 10 of them were successful, as others were picked up from different locations to prevent them from participating in the 'Chalo Secretariat' programme. "The ten people, who reached the Secretariat, were also picked up," police added.

US Social Security Administration praises Trump's tax bill, critics call it ‘blatant misinformation'
After the US Congress passed the tax cut and spending bill and President Donald Trump signed it to become 'One Big, Beautiful Bill Act', an email was sent by the Social Security Administration (SSA) which claimed the new spending bill has eliminated taxes on benefits for most recipients, but the critics have dubbed it 'misleading' and 'lie'. The reconciliation bill, which President Trump called 'One big, beautiful bill', was signed on July 4 during Independence Day celebrations after the Republicans in the Senate and House of Representatives passed it. The provisions in the act reportedly include stripping people off their health insurance, slashing food aid for the poor, revoking clean energy development which would trigger an increase in national debt by trillions of dollars. The email circulated by apolitical SSA claims the bill 'eliminates federal income taxes on social security benefits for most beneficiaries, providing relief to individuals and couples.' Commissioner of the SSA, Frank Bisignano, said that nearly 90% of social security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income tax on their respective benefits. Unbelievable. I was a deputy commissioner of the Social Security Administration. Appointed by President Biden. The agency has never issued such a blatant political statement. The fact that Trump and his minion running SSA has done this is unconscionable. — Jeff Nesbit (@jeffnesbit) July 3, 2025 'This is a historic step forward for America's seniors. By significantly reducing the tax burden on benefits, this legislation reaffirms President Trump's promise to protect social security and helps ensure that seniors can better enjoy the retirement they've earned,' Bisignano said, The Guardian reported. However, in one of the biggest cache 22 situations for the SSA, Trump's spending bill does not essentially eliminate federal taxes on social security because the bill was passed in the Congress via reconciliation process, to avoid the pushback from the Democrats. Though Trump's package does include a temporary tax deduction of $6,000 for people aged 65 and above and $12,000 for married seniors. Last month, Trump's Council of Economic Advisers argued that 9 in 10 seniors would not pay any federal tax on their respective social security benefits. A former SSA official, Jeff Nesbit, who served under Republican and Democratic presidents posted on X, 'The agency has never issued such a blatant political statement. The fact that Trump and his minion running SSA has done this is unconscionable.'
