Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president and Nalgonda MP N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Saturday accused Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao of betraying the faith of the state government employees for denying them wage revision on time.
In an open letter to the chief minister, Uttam said that nearly four lakh teachers and employees and about three lakh pensioners have been desperately waiting for the announcement of new pay revision commission scales.
He said that teacher and employees had played a major role during the statehood movement and risked their jobs and careers by participating in 42-day long Sakala Janula Samme. They expected a better future and financial growth after formation of Telangana.
"Neither the employees nor teachers benefited in any way during the last six years although the Chief Minister claims that his government is employee-friendly. Employees, teachers and pensioners were being deprived of deserved benefits," the PCC chief alleged.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the employees were not getting treatment in corporate hospitals under EHS.
He said the corporate hospitals were denying treatment to government employees as the State Government has not cleared their dues of Rs. 1200 crore.
He demanded that immediate steps be taken to ensure that all corporate hospitals provide treatment to employees.
"At one side, the State Government is claiming financial stability. On the other side, it is borrowing loans of lakhs of crores. Under any circumstances, the State Government should not delay the announcement of PRC further so as to help lakhs of employees, teachers and pensioners," he demanded.
