Former MLA and YSR Congress Party leader S.A. Rahaman has appealed to government employees not to be misled by Telugu Desam Party(TDP) president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu but give up their adamant attitude on the issue.
Addressing a media conference here on Monday, Dr. Rahaman said that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has a soft corner for government employees and would never cheat them like Mr. Naidu had done in the past. The government would have to bear an additional burden of ₹18,000 crore for meeting the 27% IR. Mr. Reddy has taken the bold step of merging the loss-making Road Transport Corporation (RTC) into the government.
The wages of ‘safai walas’ was increased by ₹18,000. Dr. Rahaman alleged that some vested interests were deliberately trying to create a rift between employees and the government. He appealed to the employees to understand the financial crisis in the State in view of the pandemic situation and stand by the government.
