00:30Sriram Reddy Water Supply Scheme is a boon to Anantapuram district.
00:55It is a big scheme for drinking water.
00:57600 workers work in it.
00:59It has been running for the last 14 years in 850 villages.
01:04The main reason for this scheme is that the previous government
01:09put a committee in the name of QCQA.
01:11Quality Control and Quality Assessment Committee.
01:14The government has taken some decisions that are unconstitutional.
01:18First, workers should be fired.
01:21They have worked for 14 years.
01:23They have also worked here.
01:25Some of them are retired.
01:27They have given the report.
01:29There was no such deal here.
01:31The government has taken a decision to implement the scheme.
01:39We are saying that the government should make a change.
01:42First, workers should not be penalised.
01:44They should not be penalised for 6 months or 10 months.
01:47PF has not been paid.
01:49The previous government did not pay PF.
01:51The audit committee has filed a complaint.
01:54The PF has not been paid.
01:56Contractors should pay the PF.
01:58Why should we pay the contractors?
02:00There was a system before.
02:0212% from the workers.
02:0412.5% from the government.
02:06The government pays and reimburses the contractors.
02:09The previous government did not do that.
02:12They reimbursed the contractors.
02:14There were some problems due to that.
02:16Gangavaram lost 6 days.
02:19The electricity was cut and the water was not transferred.
02:22The district lost 6 days of water.
02:24The reason for that is that they have introduced a litre base scheme.
02:28If 6 lakh litres of water is not lost in 6 days,
02:31the workers are asked to reduce the cost of 6 lakh litres.
02:34This is not right.
02:36This is unethical.
02:38If the electricity is cut and the water is not transferred,
02:41the water is not lost in 6 days.
02:43What will be the reason for that?
02:46We are opposing the litre base scheme introduced by the QCQA committee.
02:51There is a 6 month delay.
02:54There is a 10 month delay in Hindupuram.
02:57There is a 30 month PF.
02:59We want it to be reduced.
03:01We have not agreed to this.
03:03We gave it in September.
03:05We gave it in October.
03:07We gave it in December.
03:09They did not pay.
03:11They did not pay.
03:13This is why we have not agreed to this.
