AP Employee JAC Condemns Minister’s Remarks, Continues Agitation Programme
An employees’ group in Andhra Pradesh is unhappy about several unresolved work-related problems.
The group is called the AP JAC-Amaravati.
Its leaders said a minister made unfair remarks about their chairman.
They said employees should be allowed to complain and protest peacefully.
The group has discussed its demands with ministers and officials several times.
It says the government has not clearly explained which demands will be accepted or when payments will be made.
The employees want answers about allowances, salary revision, medical bills and other benefits.
They plan to continue their protest but said they are ready to talk with the government.
The AP JAC-Amaravati condemned Revenue Minister Anagani Satya Prasad’s remarks against chairman Bopparaju Venkateswarlu.
The employees’ organisation said raising grievances and holding democratic protests were constitutional rights.
The JAC said discussions with ministers and senior officials produced no clear decisions after nearly 40 days.
Leaders sought clarity on the Pay Revision Commission, pending DA instalments, Interim Relief and arrears.
The organisation said it would continue its agitation but remained open to meaningful government talks.
