Speaking to media persons at the Secretariat after submitting a memorandum to Chief Secretary S V Prasad on Wednesday, Drivers Union president S Harinath Babu, honorary president M A Rasheed and others stated that despite repeated reminders being made, the government has not heeded to their requests for settling their issues amicably.
At a separate press meeting at the Secretariat, Union Secretary R Krishnaiah blamed the N Kiran Kumar Reddy government for not implementing the fee reimbursement program effectively as done during the rule of former chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.
Krishnaiah also wondered whether there was a government functioning in the state at all.
"There is no coordination between the IAS officers and the Chief Minister's instructions," Krishnaiah alleged.
