Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Andhra Pradesh State president K. Atchannaidu has accused the government of betraying the people by spreading lies on welfare programmes, development of the State, and salaries of employees.
In a statement on Friday, Mr. Atchannaidu said the YSRCP government was unabashedly spreading misinformation that the salaries had been increased for anganwadi workers, home guards, midday meal and municipal workers.
It was the previous TDP government that had increased the salaries for anganwadi workers from ₹4,200 to ₹6,300, and then to ₹10,500. Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy increased their salaries by just ₹1,000, the TDP leader said.
