The employees raised slogans against the government for not reviving the OPS which was assured by the Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy during his padayatra taken up before 2019 general elections.
APCPSEA association leader Ganta Srinivasa Rao and others alleged that the government was trying to mislead the staff with various unwanted proposals when they were insisting for the old pension system which had been revived in many States including Rajasthan. They vowed to continue the fight till the government would do the justice for more than two lakh employees of the State.
