Hyderabad: The Telangana employees are in no mood to allow any Seemandhra employees in the Telangana Secretariat except for genuine cases involving medical and health reasons.
“Greater Hyderabad is going to be the joint capital for 10 years. Even if Seemandhra employees choose Andhra Pradesh, they can stay in Greater Hyderabad and work in the Seemandhra Secretariat,” said a T employee.
On the other hand, the Seemandhra employees in the Secretariat have dared their Telangana counterparts to agree to option being given to the employees to pick the state of their choice or abide by the nativity clause prescribed by the government.
AP Secretariat Seemandhra Employees Forum chairman Murali Krishna said, “We (Seemandhra employees) are abiding by the government guidelines on nativity and are submitting available documents. If Telangana employees have a problem, then the choice of option should be given. Who knows, may be 95 per cent of the Seemandhra employees will opt to go and only those whose service is less than 10 years may stay back,” he said.
Mr Krishna said it was not correct to accuse the Seemandhra employees of participating in agitations against the T State. “The agitation of Seemandhra employees was to try and stay in united Andhra Pradesh. The T employees could have found fault with Seemandhra employees had they agitated for a separate Seemandhra state and then opt to work for the T state.
But it is not the case. Not all the people living in Telangana are in favour of bifurcation.
