TDP has demanded that all the outsourced employees be regularized as per the government’s assurance.
In a statement here on Friday, party’s official spokesperson Nannuri Narsi Reddy, said instead of fulfilling its promise of regularizing the existing outsourced employees, the government was in fact removing the employees. He said through the GO 1041, the government had removed 7,800 MPDOs working in the agriculture departments. Likewise 1439 contract teachers, 487 contract employees of the housing board and 280 employees of the irrigation department.
Narsi Reddy said no benefit accrued through Rajiv Yuva Kiranalu, Rajiv Udyogya Sri, Rajiv Yuva Sakti, Rajiv Abhyudaya Yojana and PMRY schemes. The assurance of providing 15 lakh jobs in 3 years by providing 5 lakh jobs an year was also not fulfilled, he pointed out. Narsi Reddy reminded how the Prime Minister had avoided the function of handing over appointment letters of the Rajiv Yuva Kiranalu programme as he found the scheme defective.
Narsi Reddy demanded that the government should give a clear idea about the outsourced and contract employees as the government has been giving a different number at different times.
Stating that as per their information there were 5.4 lakh outsourced employees in different departments, he has demanded that all these be regularized.
Narsi Reddy has alleged that the government brought a rift between the unempoyed and the contract lecturers. He said as the government had not implemented its promise of filling up the vacant posts in the state and regularize the contract and outsourced employees as promised before the elections, he said the problem has become complex. He said though 9 years passed since the Congress assured that 2.5 lakh jobs would be created and that 70,000 BC and 50,000 SC and ST backlog posts would be filled up during the 2004 elections, it was not yet implemented. He said though 20,000 employees were retiring from government service every year, the government was not making any attempt to fill up the vacant posts. He said while the finance department gave clearance to the filling up of 1.20 lakh jobs of the 4.5 lakh vacancies, the Kiran government had filled up only 52,491 jobs. However the Chief Minister was claiming to have filled up 1.20 lakh jobs, he alleged. He said because of the government’s negligence in sending the details of vacant posts to the APPSC, unemployed were losing their opportunities. He said the government which boasted that it would dispense with the contract and outsourcing system started by the TDP, was now giving importance only to these methods.(NSS)
