Hyderabad: Senior Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader Harish Rao, on Wednesday, October 1, lashed out at the Telangana government for neglecting state employees, while praising the Centre for a recent three percent DA (Dearness Allowances) hike for its workers.
Speaking at a press conference in Siddipet, the former minister said that despite assurances from chief minister Revanth Reddy before the Assembly elections to clear the dues immediately, five DAs remain pending. “While releasing massive contractor bills to earn commissions, the government has shown a closed fist to its employees, teachers, and staff,” he said.
He also raised concerns about police staff, noting that 14 DAs and five surrender leaves are pending, allowances have been cut, and even fuel for vehicles has not been fun
