The Jagan Mohan Reddy government in Andhra Pradesh has decided to pay Rs 5,000 as monthly honorarium to pastors, evoking strong reaction from the BJP.
The minorities welfare department has asked all district collectors to enumerate the pastors through village volunteers and submit a report within 15 days.
An order was issued on August 27 mentioning that providing honorarium to pastors was one of the promises made in the manifesto regarding Christian minorities. It also says that no survey on the number of pastors had been made so far in Andhra Pradesh.
The YSR Congress Party had promised honorarium to pastors during the election campaign in March-April.
