State’s economy collapsing: Sailajanath
The Hindu
‘Welfare and development have to be on an even keel’
The economy of the State is collapsing with many contractors not filing bids for tenders as they are not sure if their bills will be cleared, APCC president S. Sailajanath has said. “The employees’ salaries too are getting delayed. This month, pensions could not be given in many districts on the first day,” Dr. Sailajanath told the media here on Sunday. Criticising Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for not taking proper advice from experts in managing the finances, the Congress leader said, “Welfare and development should be on an even keel so that State does not starve for funds.”
