Warangal: For the past several days, mid-day meal workers have been staging protests demanding the state government resolve their issues and for a minimum salary of Rs 26,000. But the government was least bothered to listen to their plight, said District Congress Committee president Naini Rajendar Reddy.
Extending his support to the workers who were staging a protest in front of the District Education Office (DEO) in Hanamkonda on Saturday, Rajender said that they were facing a lot of hardships due to low pay and price rise and minimum support from the government, which had been stubborn to attend to their problems.
As per G.O. No.8, the government must pay arrears to them and should increase their salaries to a minimum '26,000, apart from sanctioning LPG gas cylinders on subsidy, said.
On the KTR’s scheduled visit to the Hanamkonda, Rajendar alleged keeping in view of the upcoming elections, MLA Dasyam Vinay Bhaskar was again inviting the minister, who failed to keep poll promises to develop the city in the past nine years.
If they had done enormous development as they were boasting, why the BRS leaders were facing heat from various sections of people and conducting meetings with tight police security by arresting opposition leaders in advance, fearing confrontation, he questioned.
Though the people of Hanamkonda elected him for times in a row, MLA Vinay Bhaskar utterly failed to develop the city and distribute double-bedroom houses which were completed a long back, he pointed out.
The DCC chief said the people of Telangana were ready to teach a lesson to the BRS government which failed to fulfill its poll promises in the last nine years.
