HYDERABAD: The State committee of Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) on Friday organised a day-long exhibition of cartoons and photographs on the two-year rule of Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.

R. Sudhabhaskar, president, inaugurated the exhibition at Sundarayya Vignana Kendram, which depicts the pre-election promises made by Dr. Reddy and how he either failed to honour after coming to power or modified them.

The photographs show the "ill-effects" on people of the State after the Government agreed to the conditionalities of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank.

Mr. Sudhabhaskar contended that the Government was adopting the same "anti-worker" policies as that of the previous Telugu Desam regime.

Failed promises

He charged Dr. Reddy with failing to implement pre-poll promises on regularisation of contract/casual workers, solving the problems of anganwadi and village servants regarding their employment, as also Government staff with regard to the Pay Revision Commission, and filling 2.5 lakh vacant posts.

The CITU leader listed among the failed promises of Government's the re-consideration of the power purchase agreements and the altered free power supply to farmers, among its modified policies of the State.
