In a meeting with the Panchayat Raj employees in Manneguda here, Harish Rao said that the Telangana state is making rapid progress in various parameters due to the efforts of the civil servants, especially Panchayat Raj employees.

He announced that the implementation of the Pay Revision Commission (PRC) had been delayed due to the lack of clarity on government revenue due to the adverse effects of Covid-19 pandemic. He assured that Prime Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, who always treats the employees as his children, will make a decision on the VRC that will be satisfactory to all. “We take responsibility for your well-being,” he said, asking for their vote for TRS candidates S Vani Devi and Palla Rajeshwar Reddy.
Eranchelli Dayakar Rao, Minister of Panchayat Raj, said the Prime Minister is aware of the issues regarding employees of Panchayat Raj and will soon make a positive decision on pending issues. He urged them not to have doubts about the implementation of the VRC, as the prime minister was a man with a golden heart.
