Govt. employees intensify their agitation with Chalo Vijayawada

They accuse government of double-speak on PRC issue

A huge number of government employees from across the State, who gathered for Chalo Vijayawada agitation on the BRTS Road here on Thursday, sent a clear signal that they will not be backing off from the indefinite strike proposed to be launched on February 7 unless the recommendations of Pay Revision Commission (PRC) are revealed and the GOs through which Revised Pay Scales for 2022 (RPS) were notified, are cancelled.

PRC Sadhana Samiti leaders Bandi Srinivasa Rao, Bopparaju Venkateswarlu, Venkatarami Reddy and K.R. Suryanarayana, who spearheaded the agitation, said the government’s indifference to their demands strengthened their resolve to completely stop cooperating with it from February 5 and go on strike at the stroke of midnight on February 6, for which a notice had already been served.

Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy himself should talk to the leaders of the employees’ associations instead of throwing the ball back into the court of the Ministers, IAS officers and advisers, who were to be blamed for failure of several rounds of negotiations, the employees associations’ leaders said.
