Tirupati ration dealers' woes

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 06:09 AM PDT

Ration shop dealers in Tirupati allege that officials are not allowing them to sell essential commodities other than the rice, sugar, kerosene, and palm oil supplied by the Government. There are no such restrictions on ration shop dealers elsewhere in the State, they maintain.

Representatives of ration shop dealers called on Lok Satta Party President Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan here today and requested him to take up their problems with the State Government.

The dealers complained that officials were forcing them to sell sub-standard red gram dal the Government supplies them occasionally and threatening to cut off supplies of essential commodities if they sold good quality stuff at less than the Government rate.

The dealers would like the Andhra Pradesh Government to emulate its Tamil Nadu counterpart and meet their expenditure on rent for shop and salary for a clerk and provide them house sites, and life insurance and healthcare facilities.

Dr. JP told the delegation led by Rajeswaramma and P. Bindu Sri that he would take up their demands with the Civil Supplies Department.

Mahila Satta leaders N. Sarojadevi, S. Manorama, Sridevi, C. Lakshmirajyam, and Chittoor Lok Satta leaders P. Nageswara Rao and Sainatha Reddy took part in the meeting with Dr. JP.

Fight against uniform fee, Lok Satta tells Govt

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 04:22 AM PDT

The Lok Satta Party today requested the Andhra Pradesh Government to go in appeal against a judgment of the High Court stipulating uniform fees for students under both the convener and management quotas for admission to professional educational colleges.

In a media statement, party General Secretary Katari Srinivsasa Rao pointed out that the decision would impose an additional burden of at least Rs.20,000 a year on BC, SC, ST, minority, and EBC students who get admission under the convener quota but whose parents' annual income exceeds Rs.1,00,000.

Mr. Srinivasa Rao said the decision would cost the State exchequer an additional Rs.700 crore a year. With professional colleges mushrooming in the wake of reimbursement of tuition fees of a majority of students by the Government, an increase in the quantum of fees will give scope for more malpractices, Mr. Srinivasa Rao warned.

He, therefore, appealed to the State Government to appeal against the High Court judgment.
