Telangana BJP Protests Delayed Payment of Retirement Benefits and Welfare Dues

The Telangana BJP organized a hunger strike at Indira Park demanding the immediate release of pending retirement benefits for retired and serving employees, including teachers. BJP leaders, led by State President N. Ramchander Rao, criticized the Congress government under Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for delays causing financial and mental distress, citing reports of hardship and deaths among pensioners. They also raised concerns over unpaid arrears in schemes like Aarogyasri and fee reimbursements, calling for a clear timeline to clear all dues and warning of worsening issues as more employees retire.
