Bengaluru, Dec. 28: Incumbent President C.S. Shadakshari was re-elected in the elections held for the Karnataka State Government Employees Association on Friday. Shadakshari received 507 votes and B.P. Krishnagowda received 442 votes. Shadakshari was elected as the President by a margin of 65 votes, while Shivarudraiah was elected as the Treasurer of the Association, announced Returning Officer A. Hanumanarasayya.
Later, C.S. Shadakshari, who won the election for the second time in a landslide and celebrated his victory with huge crowds, said that the election strategy followed by the opponents with the intention of defeating me, the power of money has reduced my margin of victory, and that in the coming days, our main objective is to implement the old retirement scheme of APS and OPS in the year 2025, as well as the health Sanjeevini scheme to benefit the families of the employees.
He said that the allegations made by the opponents that I did not win through any kind of electoral malpractice, that I won through fake voting, are far from the truth.
Karnataka State Government Employees Association for the term 2024-2029 is holding election on 27-12-2024 for the posts of State President and Treasurer.
On behalf of Democratic Employees Forum, Mr. Krishnamurthy as the President candidate and Mr. VV Shivarudraiah as the Treasurer were selected as the contestants on behalf of the Democratic Employees’ Forum on the insistence of the State Government NPS Employees’ Association and the senior leaders of the State Government NPS Employees’ Association.
Our team is competing in this election to respond to the demands of employees by adhering to the scientific stand of equality, strong, strong organization and uncompromising struggle for self-reliance.
The current leaders of the organization have adopted an opportunistic attitude and in the last five years the government employees union has been used against the wishes of the government employees by misusing the organization for their own advantage.
New Pension Scheme (NPS) has not materialized so far, re-implementation of Old Pension Scheme, (OPS) remains in the air as there is no constructive struggle against any issues by Government Employees Union during 2019-24.
The current Government Employees Union Governing Body is equal to the central salary
7th salary which was supposed to be implemented from 1-7-2022 by sowing false promises that they will be given
For two years with effect from 1-8-2024 the recommendations of the Commission
The pay commission has been delayed.
The present administration has not only lied that they will open mistry canteens in every taluk district but also cheated the employees by not reimbursing the financial facilities of the allowances withheld during the covid period.
The present Government Employees’ Union Management Board has sown false promises that they will give equal wages to the Centre, and by implementing the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission, which was to be implemented from 1-7-2022, from 1-8-2024, the Pay Commission has been delayed for two years.
The present administration has not only lied that they will open a MILF canteen in every taluk district but also cheated the employees by not reimbursing the financial facilities of the DAs which were withheld during the covid period.
Not allowing the taluk elected representatives to contest elections to the state union has also curtailed the rights of the government employees who have been there for so many years.
At present our team is going to be a voice for many employee problems like transfer problem, promotion, filling of vacant posts, cancellation of NPS which are faced by government employees.
Our team’s mission is to restore collective leadership and democracy in the Government Employees Union.
Loyalty, honesty, without colluding with anyone, as the purpose of our team is the welfare of the employees of the country, we request everyone to cooperate in winning the candidates of our team.
On behalf of Democratic Employees Forum the above statements were released at a press meet held at press club of Bangalore.
