Cash-hit cong-ruled states not able to fill job vacancies: Prahlad

Hubballi: Congress-ruled states like Karnataka are unable to fill job vacancies due to the precarious financial condition they face, alleged Union Minister Pralhad Joshi on Sunday. Responding to a question related to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi reportedly targeting the BJP government at the Centre on the issue of unemployment, Joshi hit out at the former, accusing him of making statements based on what his advisers tell him, instead of himself going into details. 'Mr Rahul Gandhi doesn't always go into details. He will just give a reaction based on some feedback that his advisers give him. He doesn't go personally into details. Actually, post Covid, especially if I can say, employment rate has increased like anything, EPFO numbers itself show that,' Joshi said. Speaking to reporters here, he said as far as filling up vacancies in the central government are concerned, from 2022 to till date, every month there is Rozgar Mela, and every month 50,000 to one lakh people are being absorbed into the government. 'So far, in the last two-and-half years, more than seven-and-half lakh people have been recruited into various government departments and institutions,' he added. Noting that the ruling Congress in Karnataka had not filled more than 2 lakh vacancies in the state, the union minister said these vacancies have not been filled as the government is unable to pay the serving employees itself on time. 'They (Karnataka government) are not able to pay the serving employees on time. The payment of salary is delayed by ten to fifteen days to twenty days. Their (government) financial condition is precarious, so they are not filling up the vacancies,' he claimed. 'Before talking about something else, I will ask Mr Rahul Gandhi to look at what is happening in Karnataka, Telangana and Himachal Pradesh. They have governments in three states and they are in very bad shape,' he added.

Don't come to conclusions till final report: Andhra Aviation Minister

VISAKHAPATNAM:Union Minister for Civil Aviation Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu on Saturday said that while the preliminary report on the June 12 Air India crash in Ahmedabad has been released, definitive conclusions can only be drawn after the final report is released by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). Speaking on the sidelines of Rozgar Mela held in Visakhapatnam, he said, 'The preliminary report has come in, but for any concrete conclusions, we must wait for the final report. We will fully assist the AAIB in completing it.' He commended the AAIB for conducting the investigation in a professional and transparent manner. 'It was a highly commendable effort and particularly challenging investigation. This marked the first time that the black box was safely recovered, and its data decoded entirely within India, at the AAIB laboratory in Delhi. This is a significant milestone,' he said. Noting that all international protocols were strictly adhered to during the investigation, the Union Minister added, 'We are closely coordinating with the agency, and will provide any additional support or resources required. The AAIB remains the nodal authority for the investigation.' Responding to questions about the content of the preliminary report, the Civil Aviation Minister remarked, 'I believe i t would be more appropriate to comment once the final report is released. Right now, based on what the report has stated, there are multiple other things that need to be looked into before the final report is out. We want the final report to come in to look at things. So let us wait till then.' He also acknowledged the emotional toll the incident has taken on the families of the victims. 'This is an extremely difficult time for the families who have lost their loved ones. The Civil Aviation Ministry is committed to doing everything within its purview to support them during this period,' Ram Mohan Naidu assured. It may be recalled that the Air India Boeing 787-8 aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad on June 12. The accident resulted in the death of 260 individuals, including 229 passengers, 12 crew members, and 19 civilians on the ground.
