Resolve RTC issue at the earliest

It is a bolt from the blue that advocates representing the Union government stating that formation of the TSRTC was unknown to them. May be a legal statement but far from reality. This statement is made five years and 5months after Telangana came into existence.

Common capital for 10 years but nowhere it's said APSRTC is common to both States. A separate transportation is required for Telangana. How can the Union government disown TSRTC, a visibly functional organisation? The Union government can wash off the responsibility even when terrorists attack, claiming that it has no information.

This is a very bad situation that we are passing through. Private transporters are robbing citizens and enjoying the day. Rs 200 have to be spent to cover a distance that Rs 15 bus ticket used to cover.

No police check on private unauthorised transporters. People are upset with TSRTC unions, the Telangana government and the Indian government also. No political party would gain in this situation – neither the Opposition parties for encouraging the strike nor the ruling party for not resolving the issue. Normalcy is need of the hour either through negotiations or through judicial process. People can't be troubled.
