MLA lashes out at Naidu

Amaravati: MLA Jogi Ramesh lashed out at Opposition Chief Chandrababu Naidu and a section of media for taking up a malicious propaganda against the state regarding fitment to government employees. 

Speaking to media at party central office here on Tuesday, the MLA said the state government is committed for the welfare of the government employees and thus given 23 percent fitment against the Central Government's fitment of 14 percent despite financial constraints due to COVID pandemic.

 He said  the employees' unions welcomed the state governments decison and it was only Naidu and a section of media creating chaos in this regard. He said Naidu and a section of media have been shedding crocodile tears and  trying to provoke Village / Ward Secretariat employees against the government for their vested interests and added that those employees won't fall for Naidu's false propaganda.

He slammed Naidu for blaming the state government for rise in prices of essential commodities and said the prices were hiked due to increase in fuel prices and questioned why TDP is not questioning Central Government in this regard. He flayed Naidu for selling essential commodities at higher price than market price in Heritage company.

The MLA  said Naidu is not able to digest I-T Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) giving clean chit to Jagati Publications in regard to investments and trying to conspire against the state government by all means.
