Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president and the party candidate from Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency Y.S. Sharmila has criticised Chief Secretary K.S. Jawahar Reddy for causing ‘deliberate inconvenience’ to senior citizens and physically-challenged people during the distribution of social security pensions.
“I wonder if the State government has set a target on causing deaths on the first of every month. The YSRCP is misusing IAS officers by putting the gun on their shoulders to target the common man. It seems the Chief Secretary is bent on proving that the public will continue to face similar troubles if they do not vote for the YSRCP,” said Ms. Sharmila while addressing a media here on May 3 (Friday).
She posed nine queries to the YSRCP government in response to the latter’s flagship ‘Navaratnalu’ scheme and demanded an explanation from the government for “harassing the employees” on various grounds.
