JAIPUR: The state ministerial employees’ federation held a demonstration at Civil Lines here on Friday to protest the existence of anomalies and disparity in their pay structure. More than 50,000 ministerial employees from 33 districts participated in a pre-budget rally, which was taken out from Saheed Smarak to Civil Lines, in order to draw the attention of the state government.
They have been demanding equal pay as paid to ministerial employees of the secretariat and employees recruited through RPSC. Among other demands include restoration of pay to Rs 9,840, to provide one-time relaxation in promotional posts up to Grade Pay 3600, issuance of notification for recruitment for the posts of panchayati raj department, issuing orders for transfers in the panchayati raj department.
Later, after getting assurance from food and civil supplies minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas, the federation decided to conclude their demonstration. They had submitted a memorandum listing all their demands to the minister. Addressing the rally, Khachariyawas said, “Your demands will be discussed with the chief minister (Ashok Gehlot) and will be included in the state budget.”
Federation president Raj Singh Choudhury said, “Even after having similar recruitments, equal qualification and similar work, the ministerial employees are less paid than ministerial employees of the secretariat and employees recruited through Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC).” “Along with this, there is a demand to restore the salaries of junior assistants, which was deducted earlier,” he said.
