Shabbir Ali alleged that there was a conspiracy to undermine the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) and other related schemes due to inadequate funds from the BJP Government at the Centre.

He expressed his concern that the BRS Government did not object to those moves by the Central Government, which could harm the employment of Anganwadi employees.

Shabbir Ali also pointed out that the State Government was not following the Supreme Court verdict regarding the payment of gratuity to Anganwadi employees. Additionally, support pension and Kalyana Lakshmi schemes for Anganwadi employees were cancelled, while they demanded payment of gratuity, TA, DA, and increments.

He also emphasized that the majority of the 70,000 Anganwadi workers across Telangana State are women who belong to the weaker sections of society.

Despite serving the poor people for the last 40 years through ICDS, they do not have a minimum wage, pension, ESI, or job security.

Shabbir Ali criticized Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao for renaming Anganwadi workers as teachers but not giving them the same salaries as teachers or necessary facilities.
