War of words intensify over Government staff issue

Deccan Chronicle  

Chennai:The ongoing war of words between the ruling DMK and the opposition AIADMK on the State government employees’ grievances hit a crescendo on Tuesday with the State Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu joining the fray to say that the government staff and teachers did not have confidence on the AIADMK that had let them down in many ways in the past unlike the DMK that had always stood by them. The official press release issued late on Monday night recalled the invoking of draconian legislations like ESMA and TESMA leading to the instant dismissal of lakhs and lakhs of government employees who struck work during the regime of J Jayalalithaa and also mentioned many other charges against the earlier AIADMK governments with regard to mishandling of government staff. Thennasu recalled Jayalalaithaa created an aversion for government employees among the public by making a public statement in 2001 that 94 per cent of the government revenue was spent on paying salaries of government employees, adding that Palaniswami was in no way second to her as he also humiliated government staff once by asking teachers if they were paid so much and in another occasion asking striking government staff it was fair on their part to go on strike when they were paid so much. Palaniswami was hoodwinking everyone by claiming that during the AIADMK rule people were free to go on strike and referred to the crackdown on protesting government staff in 2017, 2017 and 2019, the Minister said, adding that the AIADMK leader was shedding crocodile tears for government employees now after oppressing them when he as in power.
