Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy assured the members in the Assembly that the employees issues relating to the recent general strike would be sorted out at the earliest.
The agreement reached upon with the Government would be implemented, he said.
The Chief Minister said that the employees resorted to pen down and chalk down strikes and so many other forms of agitations. They acted without any accountability at times.
“The GO 177 says the head of the department will decide on the attendance and payment of the employees. We wanted the employees to give self-declaration on the attendance. It was not for suppressing the rights of the employees. Later, the GO was suspended. After the court permission, the agreement entered upon with the employees will be implemented.”
The issue on the plight of the employees was raised by BJP leader G Kishan Reddy as an adjournment motion which was disallowed by the Speaker. But Kishan Reddy rushed to the podium and demanded a discussion on the plight of the employees. The Chief Minister made a statement. But the BJP members were not satisfied. They rushed to the podium as soon as the Chief Minister completed his statement. The speaker advised them to resume the seats but they did not relent. They raised slogans against the Chief Minister and in favour of Telangana. Following this, the Speaker adjourned the House.
