AP CM Chandrababu Naidu warns staff who refuse to shift

By Udumula Sudhakar Reddy

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday issued a stern warning to the employees and their leaders who cite excuses about coming to Amravati as per the June 27 deadline set by the government. He was reacting to AP secretariat employees leaders raising new issues over employees’ shifting to Amaravati from Hyderabad.

Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, the Chief Minister reacted strongly to the excuses, and asked employees to stop mad thoughts (picchi alochanalu manukovali). “No more negotiations. Let them stop telling stories. No one can dictate terms to my government. They have to come to Amaravati. Only in very special cases will exceptions be given,” he said.

Mr Naidu said that the employees will have to listen to government order and start working from the temporary secretariat as per the schedule fixed by the government.

“There is no further discussion on it. I will not even allow any body to raise the matter. I am clear. For nine years, all the employees worked without making any noise. I am giving them utmost respect. Employees should also understand this. They are here to work for the people. More than the employees, people have problems. People have no income. They are suffering. Our government has to work for them. I don’t want to hear this again from any quarters. Even if Chief Secretary brings up this issue, I will not listen to him. They should stop these mad thinking. On humanitarian grounds, one or two cases will be considered,” he said.

The chief minister also said only people will be allowed to dictate terms to his government.

Regarding the share of assets of Andhra  Pradesh in Hyderabad after the staff moved out, Mr Naidu said the Supreme Court judgement in higher education department has to be followed regarding these assets. “Assets and debts have to be divided between both AP and TS based on the population. If TS wants to have those buildings, the Centre will have to ensure that we get a compensation for the same so that we use them for development of Andhra Pradesh,” said Mr Naidu.
