Minister for Civil Supplies K. Venkata Nageswara Rao has said that the ward volunteers’ salary will be enhanced to ₹5,750 per month.
“At present, they are being paid ₹5,000 a month, and the enhanced salary will come into effect from January 1, 2024,” Mr. Nageswara Rao said while addressing the media here on December 21 (Thursday).
“It is a gift for them from Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on his birthday,” the Minister added.
Referring to the criticism by Jana Sena party chief Pawan Kalyan in Vizianagaram, the Minister said that Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy had always respected his mother and sister. “It was TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu who had back-stabbed his father-in-law for his lust for power. Mr. Pawan Kalyan has a dubious record of deceiving women he is married to,” the Minister said.
