Party gives B-Forms to its candidates for MLC polls
The Congress party appealed to graduates to elect G. Chinna Reddy and Ramulu Naik in the ensuing elections to two Graduates’ Constituencies in the Legislative Council as party win would end commercialisation of politics being practised by BJP and corrupt politics of TRS.
Party State president N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, addressing a press meet here on Monday, after handing over B-Forms to party candidates for MLC polls, exuded confidence that the party would win the elections. The party has given tickets to former minister G. Chinna Reddy for Mahabubnagar-Rangareddy-Hyderabad constituency and former MLC Ramulu Naik for Khammam-Warangal-Nalgonda constituency. The TPCC president said the Congress party had picked efficient, able and committed leaders as its candidates.
‘Announcement worst ever in the State’
Telangana Congress has termed the Pay Revision Committee (PRC) recommendations a huge disappointment and a cruel joke on employees, and assured that the party would stand with them.
TPCC working president A. Revanth Reddy wondered whether any scientific method was used to arrive at 7.5% fitment, which was nothing but “insulting employees”. He said 7.5% fitment was announced in 1974 and it was a shame that similar percentage was announced after nearly 50 years.
AICC secretary and former Minister G. Chinna Reddy and former MLA Ch. Vamshichand Reddy said the announcement of just 7.5% fitment instead of 63% requested by employees, teachers and pensioners was the worst ever in the State.
