TRS watering down Aarogyasri

Hyderabad, Oct 4: Telangana YSR Congress has taken objection to the selective payment to wages to Aarogyasri workers and ridiculed the manner in which the number of the districts has been carved out.

 Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday party spokesperson Konda Raghava Reddy said that the Aarogyasri scheme has been watered down by KCR government and the employees are being discriminated. The funds allocated to it are also very meager.

 The scheme has been the pet project of YSR which was emulated by many states and it has been watered down. When salaries are not paid, the employees went on strike and now the government is showing discrimination by announcing that it will pay to only those who did not participate in the strike which is unfair, he said.

 The reorganization of districts too lacks any guidelines and the number game has been going on by the whims and fancies, he said and wondered if each constituency would be made a district.
