Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu does not seem to have learnt any lessons from his previous experience during his earlier stint between 1995 and 2004.
Especially during his second tenure as the Chief Minister of united Andhra Pradesh, he acted harshly with the government employees and emphasised too much on privatization, outsourcing of employees and indiscriminate transfer of employees.
As a result, the government employees voted him out of power in 2004 elections.
Now, Naidu is back to his old ways of harassing government employees. On Saturday, the Chief Minister warned of serious action against employees who go on frequent leaves.
He said no officer would be spared if he or she failed to work. He warned that government doctors who go on long leave would be sent permanently to their houses. To register presence in government hospital, thumb impression system would be introduced.
At the same time, Naidu announced his policy of privatizing and outsourcing employees in government hospitals.
As part of reforms in the health sector, maintenance of government hospitals, Primary Health Centres and Community Health Centres would soon be outsourced.
He said reforms were the need of the hour to upgrade government hospitals on a par with the private medical facilities.
Nobody can repair you, Mr Naidu!
