YSRCP warns govt against ‘threatening’ employees

Guntur: YSRCP Employees and Pensioners Wing state president Nalamaaru Chandrasekhar Reddy said Revenue Minister Anagani Satya Prasad’s threats against employee union leaders were unacceptable and warned that government employees would not be intimidated for demanding their legitimate dues and rights.

Speaking at the YSRCP Central Office on Tuesday, he said no Chief Minister or Minister had treated employees in such a manner. Employees are not slaves, he said, adding that governments may change but employees remain the backbone of administration and ensure delivery of every welfare programme. He said the coalition government had failed to fulfil even one of its promises to employees and pensioners in 27 months. He demanded immediate payment of nearly Rs 40,000 crore in pending GPF, APGLI, retirement benefits, PRC and DA dues. He said 40 days had passed since the July 22 meeting with the Group of Ministers, but no decision had been taken. He said the government had also failed on CPS/GPS review, 12th PRC, Interim Relief and timely release of DAs, with five DAs now pending.
