Shravan Accuses KCR Of Blackmailing RTC Employees

Hyderabad, Nov.3 (Maxim News): The Congress party on Sunday strongly criticized Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao for going ahead with privatization of Road Transport Corporation despite the fact that the matter was pending in the High Court.

In a media statement today, AICC National Spokesperson Dasoju Sravan said it was illegal and unconstitutional on the part of KCR Cabinet to approve 50% privatization of RTC while ignoring the fact that over 48,000 employees are on strike seeking corporation’s merger with the State Government. The cabinet should have discussed about the serious remarks made by the High Court against the State Government and the officials, who furnished incorrect information. It is highly regrettable that KCR cabinet did not show any respect towards the High Court which is hearing the matter,” he said and asked whether the Chief Minister was trying to bulldoze the institution of High Court.
