Many issues need immediate attention: LSP to new CM

Conveying its greetings to N Kiran Kumar Reddy on his assumption of office as Chief Minister, the Lok Satta Party sought him to find an amicable settlement to issues raised by Government employees, beedi workers, auto rickshaw operators and others.

A party communiqué reminded the new Chief Minister that with the administration coming to a standstill, all of them had hit the roads.

Lok Satta Party working president DVVS Varma and party leaders Bhisetty Babji and P Bhaskara Rao also requested the Chief Minister to ensure payment of a bonus of Rs 200 a quintal to paddy growers and facilitate free movement of rice.

They wanted him to handle corruption with an iron hand. The Chief Minister should transcend party and regional differences and demonstrate he is heading a Government that immediately responds to people’s problems.
