YSRCP chief and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s government has faced a lot of problems and criticisms ever since it came to power, due to the several schemes it introduced, and mostly due to the mismanaged of finances during its tenure, which has led the state to bankruptcy.
Due to this bankruptcy, the government is unable to pay pensions and salaries to the state government employees on time, and despite the several requests made by the employees and employee unions regarding the proper payments, the government didn’t take any proper action on it so far, forcing the employees to protest against the government.
In Tirupati, on December 3rd, CM Jagan said that he would announce the new PRC report within 10 days, and it is now being said that the government might announce a 34% increase in salaries. This is against the 40% increase demanded by the employees, but the popular opinion is that this would be satisfactory for the employees, as it would be more than what they were expecting the government to sanction. Jagan is expected to make an official statement on the new PRC on Monday, and if this turns out to be true, then Jagan will have kept his promise. It is now to be seen if he will be able to fulfil his promise or not.
