Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSR Congress Party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has sought a judicial inquiry into the alleged police cane charge on village and ward secretariat employees in Vijayawada.
In a post on X, Jagan condemned the police action against employees who were protesting over their demands. He urged Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu to order an inquiry, apologise to the employees and withdraw the suspensions imposed on them.
Jagan also questioned the government’s handling of the protest. He alleged that employees were detained while travelling to the protest and that women employees were also affected. These claims were made by Jagan in his statement.
The YSRCP chief further raised concerns over pending employee demands, including Interim Relief (IR), Pay Revision Commission (PRC) benefits and five Dearness Allowance (DA) instalments.
He also alleged that the state government’s rationalisation process has put around 30,000 permanent jobs at risk.
The former CM accused the Chandrababu Naidu-led government of placing a heavy workload on village and ward secretariat employees.
