Hyderabad: Telangana saboteurs want to drive wedge among government staff

Saifabad: State Minister V Srinivas Goud alleged that those who tried to stop the formation of Telangana were seeking to bring about a row among the government employees. He cautioned both the employees and officials to be on guard.

Speaking after releasing the 2020 diary and calendar of the Telangana Gazette Officers' Association (TGOA) in Ravindra Bharathi on Thursday, he assured the government staff that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao would strive to solve each of their problems. Goud appealed to the employees to ensure that the fruits of welfare schemes reached the needy people without the involvement of middlemen.

Asserting that the government was serious about solving the problems of its employees, he expressed confidence that soon issues like PRC would be solved. He pointed out that the Central Pension Scheme was under the Union government and its problems could be tackled if KCR played an active role in national politics.

Goud stated that TGOA had originated from the separatist agitation and that those who were active in the struggle enjoyed special recognition. The minister appealed to the employees to provide better services to people which alone would result in the formation of 'Bangaru Telangana'.

He suggested the employees to get satisfaction after observing their lower cadres and get involved in competition with those in high posts and progress. 'Become partners in State's development with the inspiration provided by the agitation', he informed the government staff.

Those present at the function included TGOA president Mamata, Hyderabad district unit head M B Krishna Yadav and secretary Harikishan.
