There was a time when all the NGOs of the state are used voice in chorus against the government to resolve their demands. Unfortunately, the Telangana issue has split them into two groups as T-NGO and AP NGO Associations. Both these groups’ share platforms with respective agitations and are now behaving like enemies.

Today, the T-NGO Association has served strike notice to state government demanding for the implementation of 10th PRC for their wage revision. They also demands for converting their month long ‘Sakala Janula Samme’ period into leaves and to lift all the cases filed against some of them during the agitations.

AP NGO Association also has declared that it is planning to hold a public meeting at Hyderabad with same demands. But, T-NGOs have asked their counterparts not to play any such ideas in the name of Association meetings, which they believe a conspiracy by Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal. T-NGOs will obstruct any such meetings. They also suggest them to seek housing plots in their native areas and not in Hyderabad.

Responding to their suggestions, Gopal Reddy, president of AP NGO Association has said that no one can dictate terms to them and has right to stop them from holding meeting at Hyderabad. If there is any unrest city police will take care of it,” said Reddy.
