Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu announced that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), after coming to power in Andhra Pradesh, would constitute a Pay Revision Commission (PRC) for government employees and implement its recommendations. All genuine demands of government employees would be met, the TDP chief said.
Mr. Naidu, who is on a two-day visit to his home turf of Kuppam Assembly constituency, addressed a large public gathering at the NTR Statue Junction near the bus station on Monday. He appealed to the government employees to “shed their fear” of the YSR Congress Party government and come forward to defeat Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. “I will look after you (government employees) with respect and concern,” Mr. Naidu said.
He added that the TDP-JSP-BJP alliance would enhance old-age pensions in the State to ₹4,000 immediately after coming to power, and said the pensions would be disbursed by the first of every month. “The sarpanches, who were turned into lifeless tools by the Jagan Mohan Reddy government, would get back their funding and their powers once we form the government,” Mr. Naidu said.
