The residuary Andhra Pradesh, which starts with a whopping Rs. 13,500 crore deficit, very much needed the administrative acumen of TDP president N.Chandrababu Naidu to rebuild the State from scratch. A delegation of pensioners led by APNGOs Association former president G. Poornachandra Rao articulated the view while talking to reporters here.
Mr Poornachandra Rao feared that ''without the over Rs 45,000 crore revenue generated in Hyderabad, Seemandhra will face serious economic problem to start with. A leader of Mr Naidu's stature is the need of the hour to put it on the path of progress,” he added.
AP Secretariat Employees Association former president P. Guravaiah said while the YSRC turned down their plea to increase retiring age of employees to 60 years, Mr Naidu had acceded to the demand.
The TDP in its manifesto had also promised five-day week, ensuring three promotions to employees during their service, issuing cashless health card and increasing pension by 10 per cent after 65 years and 20 and 30 per cent after 75 and 80 years respectively, they added.
