Actor turned politician Jana Sena Party (JSP) chief Pawan Kalyan on Friday slammed the Jagan Reddy-led Andhra Pradesh government over the financial situation of the state and alleged that the state government is even diverting the salaries of civil service employees for other expenditures.
Speaking to reporters in Amravati, Pawan Kalyan said," The financial situation of Andhra Pradesh is a chaotic situation. There is no development or progress, and there is no source of income. The state is taking loans, even to the extent that government employees are getting salaries after 10-15 days. The money that comes from the centre's consolidated fund even that money is diverted to other expenditures." "More than 200 government employees including IAS and IFS officials did not get their salaries and pension until the 20th of last month," he said. Earlier yesterday Pawan Kalyan dismissed the speculations over his exit from the NDA saying that he will announce any decision to leave when necessary. He also took a swipe at Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, asking him to focus on his party and the upcoming elections. "I will let you know Jagan and other YSRCP leaders before I come out of the NDA. You should take care of your party and think about how to score 175/175 positions in the upcoming polls," Pawan Kalyan said. Earlier Pawan Kalyan announced an alliance with Telugu Desam Party (TDP) to contest the 2024 general elections together. JSP chief made the announcement after meeting TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu at Rajahmundry Central Jail in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. Kalyan stated that this step will change the future of Andhra Pradesh and said that Chandrababu Naidu is a visionary leader. "I will stand and support him in upcoming polls. The formation of the alliance with TDP is to send Jagan Mohan Reddy out of the state. Chandrababu Naidu was sent to remand with Vendetta politics. I hope BJP will also join the alliance and send out the anarchy rule in the state," he said. (ANI)
