# Telangana job aspirants face long wait despite government change 2026-08-22T10:31:25+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet (2 source reports) Thousands of government job aspirants in Telangana are still waiting for fresh notifications even after the Congress government led by Revanth Reddy took power, The Federal reports. Candidates like Kiran Rathod, who has prepared for Group-1 exams since 2020, and Parikirala Naresh, an engineering graduate unemployed for nine years, say the uncertainty has lasted three years. The library in Hyderabad's Chikkadpally sees 2,500 daily visitors preparing for these exams. The government claims it has filled 70,000 posts in two years, including 1,370 Group-3 appointments and provisional selections for 562 Group-1 and 783 Group-2 posts. However, aspirants told The Federal they have no clarity on future notification dates or total vacancies. Before the 2023 elections, Reddy had promised 2 lakh jobs per year. Separately, The Federal's parallel report on Hindi belt aspirants highlights systemic issues like paper leaks and exam cancellations, with a candidate from Kanpur spending Rs 25,000 monthly on preparation in Delhi. The next major test of the government's pledge will be whether it issues Group-1 and Group-2 notifications before mid-2026. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both sources from The Federal belong to the same 'Jobs Distress' series and share a uniform framing: government job aspirants are suffering due to delayed notifications, cancelled exams, and opaque recruitment timelines. Neither source is pro-government or critical in a partisan sense, instead, they adopt a neutral-but-sympathetic human-interest stance, foregrounding individual stories of Kiran Rathod and Parikirala Naresh (Telangana) and Shivani and Kuldeep Pandey (Hindi belt). The Federal does not mention the government's counter-claim of filling 70,000 jobs until late in the Telangana piece, and omits it entirely in the Hindi-belt piece. The middle-ground takeaway is that while the government has acted on some vacancies, the aspirants' lived experience is one of stalled progress. Watch for the next Group-1 and Group-2 notifications from the Telangana government, expected before mid-2026. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - thefederal.com (neutral report) Human-interest framing, no partisan slant, but delays government's own job-filling figure until late in the piece. - thefederal.com (2) (neutral report) Focuses on aspirants' struggles with cancelled exams and cost, omits government's job-creation numbers entirely.
