DYFI opposes contract basis for panchayat secretary posts

Vijayawada: The Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) State committee has called for a Maha Dharna on May 24 demanding the State government to cancel GO No 39 for filling Panchayat Secretary (PS) posts on contract basis. They demanded filling up of the posts in regular procedure.

Addressing the media here on Friday, DYFI secretary M Surya Rao recalled that out of 6,500 PS vacant posts 1,055 posts were filled through APPSC in 2016. For the remaining 5,600 posts the government has issued a GO 39 to fill 1,511 PS posts through contract procedure which was doing injustice to the unemployed youth. 

He said that in spite of submitting representations to the minister to cancel the GO, no action was taken till now. He said that as a last resort they had opted for Maha Dharna to bring pressure on the government to cancel the GO. DYFI G Ramanna said that the government was not bothered to instruct the APPSC to issue notification. 

He said that getting a government job will remain a dream for lakhs of SC, ST, BC and minority community youth. Demanding the government to give notification to fill the posts, he said that the APPSC chairman should resign to his post if he was not capable.
DYFI leaders P Bhargav, Arun Kumar, Nijamuddin, Rajashekar and others were present.
