TPCC chief condemns affidavit on RTC strike
TPCC president alleges that the content of affidavit filed by Principal Secretary (Transport) Sunil Sharma is highly objectionable
Hyderabad: Coming down heavily on the government, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Sunday strongly condemned the affidavit filed by Principal Secretary (Transport) Sunil Sharma in the High Court on RTC strike wherein he alleged that the RTC unions have colluded with opposition parties to topple the State government.
Addressing a press conference, Uttam said that the content of affidavit filed by the senior IAS officer was highly objectionable.
"If his allegations are true, then all opposition leaders should be arrested and jailed. If he is wrong, then he must be immediately dismissed from service for furnishing false information in the court," he demanded.
Uttam said that the TRS government has resorted to falsehood by submitting wrong and misleading information before the High Court on RTC issue. Even the High Court has remarked that it had never seen officials lying so much before the court.
Recent allegations by a senior IAS officer have put the credibility of the High Court at stake and the Chief Justice must order a probe to know the truth.
He urged the Chief Justice to take cognizance of the matter and order a CBI or independent probe into the allegations levelled by IAS officer to unravel the truth.
High Court must also enquire at whose instance the IAS officer has levelled such serious allegations. Congress party would raise the issue in the Parliament and also take up the issue with the Department of Personnel and Training.
He ridiculed the allegation of opposition parties trying to topple the TRS government. It was the TRS which engineered defection of 12 MLAs to deny Congress the status of main opposition.
He said that the RTC employees have performed duties in September and they should be immediately paid for it. Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was treating Telangana as his fiefdom.
He said Andhra Pradesh, which is facing financial problems, was merging the RTC. But Telangana, which claims to be the richest State in the country, was not willing to help RTC.
