CM KCR is behaving like a Hitler and a monarch, who were are raising voice against him demanding to solve the issues. He is trying to suppress them using political power with the police personnel.

When Sakala Janula Samme was taken up, then Chief Minister E Kiran Kumar Reddy did not remove even a single employee from the job even though be belonged to other regions.

But CM KCR cruelly dismissed 48,000 RTC employees, he added.

When low budget neighbouring state Andhra Pradesh has merged the RTC into the government, then the Telangana is surplus state, CM KCR himself announced on number of occasions, then why he is not merging the RTC into the government, he questioned.
