He also sought to raise key issues like implementation of PRC recommendation for State government employees, increase in retirement age, release of funds for Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi-Mubarak schemes and fee reimbursement scheme for students. For the last two years, funds for constituency development programme were not released, he said.
