The State government is responding positively to the demands of the employees’ associations keeping in view the MLC elections, says the BJP leader
The Graduate MLC elections will have an impact on the general elections in 2024, says Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president Somu Veerraju.
“The MLC elections will also show the extent of people’s frustration on the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP),” Mr. Veerraju said while addressing the media at the party office here on Thursday.
Mr. Veerraju said the government employees were in trouble ever since the YSRCP formed the government.
“Forget about the DA arrears, employees are not being given their salaries in time. Employees have not faced such worse situation earlier under any government. Under the YSRCP government, they have been staging protests like political parties,” he said.
The government was responding positively to the demands of the employees’ associations keeping in view the MLC elections, he observed.
The employee unions’ protest in Vijayawada in 2022 had made the government jittery, he said. “The unions should not compromise on their demands. It is the responsibility of the government to fulfil them,” he said.
Accusing the government of viewing the Endowments Department as a money-making entity, he said while the Central government was sanctioning funds for the development of temples under various schemes, the State government, instead of providing proper amenities to the devotees, was creating trouble by increasing the fares of restrooms.
