Jagan demands judicial probe into lathi-charge on secretariat staff
YSRCP chief seeks withdrawal of suspensions, settlement of employees’ service-related demands
YSR Congress Party president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has demanded a judicial inquiry into the recent lathi-charge on secretariat staff during their protest in Vijayawada. The former Chief Minister accused the police of excessive force against employees, including women, who were seeking resolution of their service-related demands.
Jagan also alleged that the government had failed to fulfil its commitments on Interim Relief, Pay Revision Commission, pending Dearness Allowance instalments, and surrender leave, totaling nearly ₹40,000 crore in unpaid dues. He accused the coalition government of weakening the village and ward secretariat system and promised to address the employees' grievances if the YSRCP returns to power.
