Proof That Employment Opportunities in AP Doubled Under CM YS Jagan Governance

The Andhra Pradesh Government under the leadership of Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy completed three years of governance and several revolutionary administrative reforms were implemented in areas including health, education, industry, agriculture, etc.

The welfare agenda has been carried out with a proper balance of development initiatives and social justice in a transparent manner. The Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) has redefined the economics of inclusiveness in the state.

The other important aspect which was otherwise ignored in the previous regime was the employment issue.

The AP government led by YS Jagan in 2019-22 has recruited 2.06 lakh in permanent jobs, 37,908 in contractual, and 3.71 lakh in outsourced jobs, totaling 6.16 lakh people employed in the State in two years. This is 20 times (34,108) more in comparison to the TDP government between 2014-19, tweeted YSRCP Rajya Sabha MP V Vijayasai Reddy on Tuesday.
