Opposition parties provoking TSRTC workers: Errabelli Dayakar

Panchayat Raj Minister E Dayakar Rao on Sunday said that the political parties which are provoking the workers were responsible for suicides and deaths.

Addressing a press conference here at TRSLP office, Dayakar Rao alleged that the opposition parties were provoking the workers. When the minister was reminded about suicides during Telangana agitation, he said that it was an agitation and RTCs was not.

The minister said there was no question of privatisation of RTC and added that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao wants to bring the corporation into profit.

The minister lashed onto the BJP leaders alleging that they were politicising. He demanded the BJP leaders to get an announcement from the Centre that their states will merge RTC with government. Almost all the state RTCs are demanding merger with government, the minister claimed.
