The TRS government is selling off jobs in the Ramagundam Fertilizer Factory even as the Modi government has taken up the onerous task of reviving the unit at a substantial cost, charged Rajya Sabha MP and senior BJP leader K. Laxman on Tuesday.
Instead of providing jobs to the local people, the government is selling them for a price, he alleged and also accused the State government of paying up to ₹ 14,000 less to the contract employees of the Singareni Collieries numbering about 20,000.
The government is supposed to have enhanced the salaries to the staff as per the national wage agreement, but it had done so with the compensation also being denied to those who had lost their lives while working in the hazardous conditions, he said.
