Telangana CM hands over Group 1 appointment letters; announces law to penalise neglect of parents
Hyderabad, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday handed over appointment letters to newly-appointed Group 1 services officers, successful in the competitive examination conducted in the state after a gap of nearly 13 years.
Addressing the gathering here, Reddy said a law would soon be introduced to deduct 10 per cent of the salary of those who neglect their parents, though he did not provide specific details.
“I congratulate the parents. Your dreams are going to come true. I suggest that all those present here should take proper care of their parents. I am going to bring in a law—if you don’t take care of your parents, I will deduct 10 per cent of your salary and deposit it in your parents’ account,” he said.
Attacking the previous BRS government, Reddy alleged that the past rulers "betrayed the youth", despite being elected on the promise of fulfilling the aspirations of the six-decades-long Telangana statehood struggle.
Observing that the Group 1 services exam was last held in undivided Andhra Pradesh in 2011, he criticised the BRS government for "not conducting the recruitment despite being in power for 10 years" after Telangana’s formation in 2014.
