BRS could not pay salaries on time, says Congress MLA
Choppadandi MLA Medipally Sathyam has lauded the Revanth Reddy-led Congress government for responding positively to the problems of government employees. He urged the employees not to fall prey to the Opposition parties' propaganda accusing them of provoking employees against the government. Speaking to the media here on Saturday, he said that the State Cabinet has taken decisions as per the aspirations of the employees, including granting one Dearness Allowance (DA) immediately, and another DA in the next six months. The Congress MLA also appreciated the decision to set up a healthcare trust and expressed satisfaction with the government's promise to release arrears at the rate of ₹700 crore per month. Mr. Sathyam contrasted the current government's approach with that of the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) led government, which he said had borrowed ₹8 lakh crore, and had not even paid salaries on time. The MLA said that the previous government owed the retired employees ₹8,000 crore. He also criticised the BRS for raising the retirement age to 61 years to avoid paying retirement benefits and for suppressing RTC employees' strikes with force, resulting in the deaths of over 40 workers. The MLA expressed confidence that government employees have placed their trust in the Chief Minister, who has been paying salaries on the first date, and has already given one DA.
