People pour out their woes to Congress manifesto panel

Adilabad: Congress manifesto committee, which has been touring the Adilabad district to collect public opinion to chalk out its manifesto based on the requirements of the people, was receiving a good response from the voters and various organisations.

More than 40 various organisations presented their issues and demands before the panel on Monday and the committee promised them to incorporate their demands in the party manifesto to be released soon.

Government employees requested the members of the committee to ensure that they would get salaries on the first day of every month to avoid penalties on EMIs and other payments.

While TNGOs requested the implementation of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS), citing Himachal Pradesh Congress, which came to power by doing the same, unions of various contract and outsourcing employees sought the regularisation of their services and minorities requested due political representation and focus on their education and the Labana community for ST status.  
      
Manifesto committee chairman D. Sridhar Babu promised government employees to do justice as the Congress was well aware of their plight due to delayed salaries.

Promising the restoration of the OPS, he said the committee was getting a good response so far and the inputs and requirements would be included in the manifesto.

Stating that all the sections of the society were not happy with the BRS ruling, Sridhar Babu said Congress was planning to provide autonomy to the IIIT-Basar for quality education. He stressed that his party would implement all six guarantees within 100 days after it came to power in the state.

Congress Kisan Cell state president Anwesh Reddy and TPCC general secretary Gandrath Sujatha, DCC president Sajid Khan, Adilabad market committee chairman Sanjeev Reddy and leaders of Raj Gond Seva Samiti were present.
