The government employees who earlier rocked the Vijayawada city with Chalo Vijayawada had called for another protest demanding the scrapping of CPS. To stop the employees from making the protest a big success, the Police imposed section 144 in Vijayawada. The employees were also asked to not carry out the protest.
The Andhra Pradesh United Teachers’ Federation (UTF) is leading the fight. Amid the tense situation, Minister Botsa Satyanarayana spoke to the media and urged the employees to think about calling off the protest keeping the law and order issue in mind.
Botsa Satyanarayana, who was made the Education Minister in the new Cabinet had raised a question of law and order issue and asked who will take the responsibility if something bad happens. Employees are gathering in big numbers, who must be held accountable if anything goes wrong, he asked.
The Minister went on to say that the Andhra Pradesh government is looking into the issue and will take an appropriate decision. Having said that, he questioned the employees’ union’s decision to call for Chalo CMO.
While defending the government in this matter is ok. But if we look at the issue from the employees’ point of view, they have pinned high hopes on YCP that it will scrap the CPS as YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had promised the same while campaigning for his party. He even said that he will sign the same circular after coming to power.
It’s been three years since YS Jagan formed the government after the landslide victory. While the welfare schemes were implemented no matter how much burden the schemes are putting on the state economy, the government did not make any announcement on CPS. Even when the PRC recommendations were announced there is no mention of the PRC.
Unhappy with this, the employees have again decided to hit the roads to raise their voices against the CPS. Forget about the positive reaction from the government, the Minister is openly questioning the employees’ unions and asking them to not do such things as far as the law and order issue is concerned in the state.
