RTC JAC leaders meet Laxman

Hyderabad: The TSRTC JAC leaders Ashwathama Reddy, Raja Reddy and others on Friday called on BJP State unit president K Laxman at the latter's office and sought support to their strike which entered 21st day.

Laxman accused Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao of conspiring to loot RTC assets worth thousands of crores of rupees. "We extend support to the RTC strike and the government should come down to hold talks," he said.

He also flayed K Chandrashekar Rao for threatening the striking employees instead of holding talks. "We have already informed the Centre and national leaders about the RTC strike and the situation," Laxman said.

Asking the JAC leaders to continue protests in a democratic manner without succumbing to threats of the State government, Laxman said they will take up their strike issue to national level.
