FPI demands CS to issue directives to Collectors for pension distribution on June 1

VIJAYAWADA: Freedom Party of India (FPI) Andhra Pradesh Joint Convener Rajender Paramahansa  demanded Chief Secretary KS Jawahar Reddy to issue guidelines to district Collectors on the distribution of social security pensions to the beneficiaries on June 1.

Rajender Paramahansa said FPI National Convener MA Mujeeb has directed party leaders to put pressure on officials for the timely disbursement of pensions.

Stating that pensioners faced hardships because of the official machinery, working under the direction of the Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and creating politics on poor people's issues.

In the past two months, he alleged that Jawahar Reddy, along with SERP CEO Muralidhar Reddy, troubled the beneficiaries to benefit the ruling YSRC in the elections, Rajender Paramahansa said.

“Close to 60 people died while trying to get their pensions from the Secretariats and banks in the scorching summer. Even as June 1 is approaching, no statement has come from the government over the distribution of pensions so far,” while the TDP stopped their pensions and YSRCP is doing politics, Rajender Paramahansa demanded the Chief Secretary to disclose the details of the number of pensioners who got money from the banks and the number of beneficiaries who did not get the money.
