Chief Minister, TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao before taking charge as Telangana stirred up regional tensions by announcing that no Seemandhra government employee would be allowed to remain in the Telangana Secretariat. He declared it on Thursday.
He also set up a TRS `war room’, which will gather information on the Seemandhra employees endeavoring to stay back and take `appropriate action’.
“Ours would be the most employee-friendly government. No Telangana employee should be worried about a Seemandhra employee usurping his job. We will not allow any such injustice to be meted out to them, “KCR told several employees’ unions, including the Telangana Non-Gazetted Officers Assocaition (TNGOs), Telangana Gazetted Officers Association (TGOs), Telangana Electricity Employees JAC and Telangana RTC Employees JAC at Kompally here on Thursday.
When the Telangana employee unions complained about their Seemandhra counterparts producing ‘forged’ nativity certificates in an attempt to continue in the Telangana government, KCR said his government would not allow such `irregularities’.
“We are setting up a war room to combat the menace of Seemandhra employees producing fake domicile and nativity certificates to remain in Telangana. The Telangana employees must be vigilant and prepare the list in their respective department to show who is from Seemandhra and who is from Telangana. Let us build our own database and ensure that the distribution of employees is based on that,” KCR said.
KCR said TNGO chairman G Deviprasad would head the `war room’, while 10 MLAs and MLCs from the TRS, including Mahbubnagar MLC K Swamy Goud and MLA V Srinivas Goud, and would be its members.
“The employees need to show their organizational strength as they did during the Sakala Janula Samme. And I am sure, by passing on information to the war room, they can ensure justice for themselves,” he added.
The TRS chief further told the T employees not to disappoint over the ongoing allotment process as it was not final.
“The final distribution will start only after June 2, when the two new governments will be in place. What is going on now is just an informal data collection of employees. The distribution has not been started as it is being reported. I spoke to chief secretary PK Mohanty, who told me that what is being prepared is only a provisional list,” he added.
He said the increments and promotions given to the employees after the passage of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Bill 2014 in Parliament on February 20 were not valid.
“The Telangana employees should not be worried about this. I have spoken to governor Narasimhan and he assured me that all the promotions given after the passage of the bill are invalid,” KCR said.
KCR while complementing the Telangana employees for their role in the Telangana movement said that his government would give them a special increment to be called ‘Telangana increment’.
He said his government would regularize the service of all contract employees and guarantee that in the future there will be no contract employees in Telangana state.
