TDP decries CM sedition charges on PRC critics

Govt spreading false rumours on employees stir: Kalva
PRC dissenting voices being victimised

AMARAVATI: TDP former minister Kalva Srinivasulu on Wednesday accused the YSRCP Government of victimising all those who were raising their voices against the ‘reverse PRC’ given to the employees in the State.

Srinivasulu asked whether nobody should question CM Jagan Mohan Reddy as to how the salaries of employees could be reduced after pay revision like never before in the country’s history.

Addressing a press conference here, the TDP leader termed it as unfortunate that the CM was calling everyone ‘seditious and treasonous’ for just questioning injustices done to the employees and the people. The Government itself was spreading false information. Many people were openly criticising the Government’s agreement with the employees’ leaders on the PRC and other demands.

Srinivasulu pointed out that the teachers’ associations and several other employees’ representatives have resigned from the PRC Sadhana Samithi in protest against the anti-employee decisions. The crisis arose because the Government did not make any effort to resolve the PRC issue by holding positive talks.

The TDP ex minister asked why the Ashutosh Misra Committee report was not being released. When anybody was questioning this, the Government was leveling charges of treason against them. How could the CM himself say that conspiracies were being hatched against his rule when people were just questioning the sanctity of the PRC?

Srinivasulu demanded an explanation from Jagan Reddy as to why he could not fulfill his promise to cancel the CPS within one week of forming the Government. How could the fitment be reduced in the revised pay? A Chief Minister cannot expect everyone to silently bear any sort of injustice and harm done by the Government.

Expressing concern, the TDP leader said it was audacious on the part of CM Jagan to level charges of conspiracy against the opposition leaders on the issue of continuing PRC protests. The CM started an ill-motivated misinformation campaign as he was unable to digest the agitations being waged by the opposition parties against his regime’s failures.

Srinivasulu said the YSRCP rule betrayed the aspiring job seekers by not fulfilling its promise to fill 2.37 lakh jobs. The promises on the job calendar every year and mega DSC were not fulfilled till now. A series of betrayals were unveiled in the name of welfare programmes.

The TDP leader slammed the Government for not providing assistance for self-employment of any section of society in the past three years. Not a single youth from BC, SC, ST and Minorities was given assistance to stand on their own. Jagan Reddy crushed the welfare and development of Dalits, Minorities and BCs who constituted 60 percent of the population.
