Minister Condemns Arrest of Retired Employees
A minister named Bandi Sanjay Kumar is very upset because retired government workers were arrested.
These workers had come to talk to the Chief Minister about money they are owed but haven't received.
The minister says it's not fair to arrest these retired workers, especially since many of them are sick or struggling to pay for their children's education.
He also says the government is spending a lot of money on other things but not on paying these workers.
He wants the government to pay the money immediately and let the arrested workers go.
Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar condemned the arrest of retired government employees who came to meet the Chief Minister to express their grievances.
He questioned the government's actions, stating that it is unjust to arrest retired employees who have served the state for decades.
The minister highlighted that nearly 40,000 retired employees are suffering due to the non-payment of their dues, with many facing health issues and financial difficulties.
He criticized the Congress government for spending thousands of crores on pomp and show while failing to release Rs 8,000 crore owed to retired employees.
Sanjay demanded immediate payment of all pending dues and the release of those arrested, warning the government of political consequences if they continue to neglect the retirees.
