Probe by High Court judge sought into RTC finances
All India Congress Committee (AICC) national spokesperson Dasoju Sravan on Friday demanded that the State government should order a probe by a sitting judge of the High Court on the income, losses, assets, liabilities and other aspects of the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC).
Hyderabad: All India Congress Committee (AICC) national spokesperson Dasoju Sravan on Friday demanded that the State government should order a probe by a sitting judge of the High Court on the income, losses, assets, liabilities and other aspects of the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC).
Addressing a press conference, Sravan strongly condemned Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for his statement on the RTC, its employees, their unions and the ongoing strike. He said that the State government should release a white paper on the assets and liabilities of RTC.
While the Chief Minister claimed that the State government has spent Rs 4,250 crore on RTC, the unions argue that the amount was only Rs 702 crore. He said that the arrogance with which Chandrashekar Rao addressed a press conference after TRS won Huzurnagar by-election on Thursday was highly condemnable.
He said victory of ruling party on a seat in a by-election could not be considered an endorsement of the Chief Minister's dictatorial policies. He alleged that the TRS won the elections by distributing huge cash and liquor.
Sravan said before advising the opposition parties, the chief minister should do a serious introspection of his own behaviour. He said the culture of purchasing legislators of opposition parties like livestock was started by the Chief Minister.
Referring to Chandrashekar Rao's displeasure and criticism on RTC strike and union leaders, he reminded that it was the Rao himself, who launched Telangana Mazdoor Union and made Harish Rao as its honorary president. He said union leaders Ashwathama Reddy and Thomas were groomed by KCR and used them during the statehood movement.
He said if it was wrong for the employees and workers to associate themselves with unions, then why the Chief Minister held talks with representatives of TGOs and TNGOs.
He said that the Chief Minister has already decided to privatise the RTC and now trying to blame the union leaders and workers for the same.
