Amaravati, June 8: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Saturday asserted his government is committed to providing honest and effective administration.

He also promised the government employees that his Cabinet, in its first meeting on June 10, would take decisions on granting interim relief and on scrapping Contributory Pension Scheme.

Later, the chief minister addressed a meeting of all government secretaries and heads of departments where he outlined his party's electoral promises and his priorities.

The YSR Congress party's election manifesto should be the guide for the administration, he said. He also underlined his commitment for zero-corruption in administration and stressed on the need for transparency. "That's the reason I have proposed setting up of a judicial commission for awarding government contracts. I am committed to giving an honest and effective government," he added.
