In a surprise move, the Telangana government slashed the salaries of civil servants — IAS (Indian Administrative Services), IPS (Indian Police Service), IFS (Indian Foreign Services) and other officers — by 60%. While the pension of the retired government employees will also be trimmed to half. “The coronavirus is adversely impacting Telangana’s economic situation. In this background, the state government has to act with caution and foresight,” the official statement said. In fact, the state chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said that his salary would also get deducted by a whopping 75% to back the state’s finances and economy. Other political members — including state ministers and MLAs (Members of the Legislative Assembly) will also have to offer three-fourth of their salary to the government. <div type="twitter" handle="TelanganaCMO" handlename="Telangana CMO" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/493733709787308032/Zer8dZ3-_normal.jpeg" favoritecount="71" retweetcount="18" status="CM, Ministers, MLAs, MLCs, Chairperson of all Corporations and Elected Representatives of all Local Bodies - 75% Al… https://t.co/1h9h5V0xVs" createdat="1585625802000" id="1244830957175095296"></div>

 This comes on the backdrop of mounting losses reported by the revenue department, thanks to the nationwide lockdown that has put a halt to all the services. That accounts to ₹12,000 crore. “The state treasury needs to get Rs 12,000 crore since March 15. Everything is shut — petrol, GST, excise. So, we may have to cut salaries of MLAs and government employees. People have to cooperate – we are in a crisis, this is not a luxury. You have to eat half of what you were eating before,” Rao said. However, the least affected would be the contractual employees — who will have to share 10% of their pay. The move will also impact the employees of the Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and other government aided institutions — including Human Rights Commission. “For all public sector undertakings and institutions that are receiving government grants employees, like government employees and retirees, there will be a cut in their salaries,” the statement noted. The state government said that it will contribute nearly ₹500 crore to tackle the pandemic. However, they might need to spend more as the number of infections spiked to 71, leaving eight dead, as on Monday (March 30). "Six people from Telangana who attended a religious congregation at Markaz in Nizamuddin area of New Delhi from 13-15 March succumbed after they contracted coronavirus. Two died in Gandhi Hospital while one each died in Apollo Hospital, Global Hospital, Nizamabad and Gadwal,” Telangana CMO tweeted. <div type="twitter" handle="TelanganaCMO" handlename="Telangana CMO" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/493733709787308032/Zer8dZ3-_normal.jpeg" favoritecount="4270" retweetcount="2029" status="Six people from Telangana who attended a religious congregation at Markaz in Nizamuddin area of New Delhi from 13-1… https://t.co/qJi9J6pW3N" createdat="1585590792000" id="1244684114000662528"></div>

Eat half of what you’re now eating, says Telangana CM who cuts government salaries and pensions

The barbed wires at the Assembly, secretariat and the Raj Bhavan, which were common sights for more than three years, were replaced with flags and hoardings all over Hyderabad on the occasion of <keyword id="68884" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Telangana">Telangana</keyword>’s inception as a new state. 
 
Telangana, India’s 29th state, came into existence after about 60 years of unhappy merger with Andhra Pradesh in 1956. Telangana supporters celebrated the occasion, raising the slogan 'Jai Telangana.’ 
 
About 300 reportedly had lost their lives in the Telangana movement. 
 Telangana Rashtriya Samiti (<keyword id="43749" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="TRS">TRS</keyword>) chief K Chandrasekhar Rao will be sworn in as the chief minister of Telangana today. TRS had won 63 of the 119 Assembly seats in Telangana. 
 
Before Rao takes oath as the chief minister of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh Governor ESL Narasimhan, who has been given additional charge of Telangana, will himself have to take the oath. 
 
31 IPS and 41 IAS officers have been nominated to the Telangana cadre. Chief Secretary PK Mohanty reviewed all arrangements regarding creation of the new state. 
 
The chief secretary also issued orders to 9,893 state government employees to continue working in Telangana as per the 'order to serve' clause to maintain administration in Telangana.

Telangana Is born As India’s 29th State

NEW DELHI: Big reputations are at stake in Wednesday's polling with Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, BJP's top leaders Narendra Modi, L K Advani, Rajnath Singh and Arun Jaitley apart from former Punjab CM Amarinder Singh and TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao seeking a popular mandate. 
 
Some riveting contests like the Jaitley versus Amarinder duel in Amritsar or the Badal versus Badal showdown in Bathinda are set to be decided as 89 seats in seven states and two Union Territories go to polls. 
 
BJP veteran M M Joshi, who moved to Kanpur to make way for Modi in Varanasi, takes on coal minister Sriprakash Jaiswal in a contest where the local pitch could get swamped by a pro-Modi sentiment. 
 
Jhansi is the stage for sanyasin Uma Bharati's comeback bid as she looks to unseat Congress's Pradeep Jain, banking on the "Modi Kashi se, Uma Bharati Jhansi se" slogan. 
 
The 14 seats in UP's central and Bundelkhand areas that go to polls delivered good returns for Congress in 2009 but its incumbents, including two ministers — Jaiswal and Jitin Prasada — are finding the going tough. Sonia is not expected to face much of a challenge in Rae Bareli — the other Gandhi borough of Amethi goes to polls on May 7 — even if her party does not find it easy to repeat the 2009 result where the party did well in 14 seats going to polls. 
 
Bahujan Samaj Party comes across as a strong presence in the region where the Samajwadi Party seems to be taking a back seat after having been the main challenger to BJP in the previous three rounds in UP. 
 
Though Modi's win from Vadodara against Congress's Madhusudhan Mistry is not in doubt, the BJP leader will look to maximize returns in the 26 seats at stake in Gujarat with Congress still a force in tribal areas. In fact, BJP has not found it easy to replicate its dominance in assembly polls in Lok Sabha elections and will hope that Modi's projection gives it a decisive edge this time around. 
 
After having precipitated a minor crisis over his demand to shift from Gandhinagar to Bhopal, Advani should be coasting with the onus squarely on Modi to ensure that the veteran wins convincingly. 
 
Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal, who replaced Modi baiter Harin Pathak in Ahmedabad (East), looks a shoo-in too while some Congress leaders like Shankarsihn Vaghela will fancy his chances in Sabarkantha. 
 
BJP chief Rajnath Singh, contesting from Lucknow, has left nothing to chance, going out his way to woo Muslim voters to cement his position despite the community being far from enthused by Modi's candidature. 
 
 
 
Down south, TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao is contesting both the Lok Sabha and assembly constituencies in Medak in Telangana as he hopes to emerge as the dominant political force in what will be India's 29th state. KCR is locked in a bitter battle with Congress after he evaded a merger with the party, a manoeuver intended to ensure that TRS's post-poll options are not restricted. 
 
Bathinda is the stage for a grudge match between the rebel Badal, Manpreet Singh, and Harsimrat Kaur, wife of Punjab deputy chief minister Sukhbir Badal. Manpreet, a former Akali finance minister, was routed in the assembly elections and is looking to settle scores with estranged cousin Sukhbir by scripting an upset in a hard fought and vituperative contest. 
 
Amritsar is set to witness a needle fight as Jaitley hopes to overcome incumbency against the Akali-BJP government by focusing on national issues while Amarinder harps on local resentments to score against his rival. 
 
Amarinder's wife Preneet is in the fray from the family bastion of Patiala while other notable contests in Punjab include former actor Vinod Khanna contesting on a BJP ticket from Gurdaspur against Congress state chief Partap Singh Bajwa.

	The anti-corruption bureau of Telangana is in the process of questioning TDP MLA Revanth Reddy and two others who have been arrested in cash-for-vote case.
