TPCC NRI Cell chairman B.M. Vinod Kumar on Tuesday accused both the previous BRS government in the State and the incumbent NDA government at the Centre of deceiving Gulf workers over the past decade by failing to fulfil promises made for their welfare.
Speaking at a press conference here, he said the State government led by the Congress had already started implementing the promises made to Gulf workers and highlighted the recent initiation of ex gratia payments of ₹5 lakh to the families of migrant workers who passed away in Gulf countries.
TPCC NRI Cell convenor Bheem Reddy Mandha condemned the Modi government for charging exorbitant airfare from Indian citizens returning from abroad on ‘Vande Bharat’ and chartered flights during the COVID-19 pandemic.
