Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) senior leader T Harish Rao has strongly criticized the Telangana government for failing to disburse salaries to over 16,000 home guards across the state, even 12 days into the month of February.
In a post on X, Rao expressed his concern over the financial difficulties faced by these low-paid home guards, who are struggling to manage household expenses.
He said that the home guards are grappling with the burden of unpaid house rent, school fees, and daily expenses, forcing them to borrow money.
“Additionally, they are receiving calls from bank authorities for failing to pay EMIs,” he added.
Rao pointed out that this situation has persisted since the Congress party assumed power, “with no one seemingly addressing their grievances.”
Rao questioned chief minister A Revanth Reddy’s response to the plight of the home guards, accusing him of making “empty promises.”
He further accused the government of implementing cuts in welfare schemes and neglecting employee salaries, describing it as an anti-people administration.
Rao demanded the immediate release of the pending salaries to the home guards, urging the state government to take action.
