Nagarkurnool: MRPS leader Manda Krishna Madiga urges KCR to let RTC workers join their duties

Nagarkurnool: Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi president Manda Krishna Madiga, while visiting Kollapur mandal on Tuesday, deplored the adamant attitude of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. Extending his full support to the RTC workers, the MRPS leader demanded the government to allow the RTC workers join their duties, and stop harassing them further.

With the RTC State unions withdrawing their 52 days of the indefinite strike, the workers including drivers, conductors and other staff who reached the RTC bus depots to join their duties on Tuesday were stopped by the RTC management who did not allow the workers to join their duties until they receive information from higher authorities.

At all the nine major bus depots in across erstwhile Mahbubnagar, the RTC management turned away the RTC employees and refused to take them back stating that they have not received any information from the higher authorities and they are not authorised to take the employees who were on illegal strike back to work. With this, the RTC workers tried to enter into an altercation with the management. However, the police intervened and dispersed the agitating RTC workers.

Speaking at a programme in Kollapur, the MRPS leader said that even though the RTC workers had staged protests by sacrificing their work for 52 days, the KCR government had not given any response. This shows the KCR government is inhuman and dictatorial and does not care for the voices of those in pain. "The 52 days strike by 48,000 RTC employees has been belittled by the Chief Minister, who claimed to achieve Bangaru Telangana. The poor workers who are fed up with the adamant attitude have now lost all hopes and urging the government to take back them into duties leaving away all their demands. Even then, KCR is showing his true colours and trying to bring all the 48,000 families onto the roads," said the MRPS leader.

The MRPS leader said that KCR might be on cloud nine with the winning of Huzurnagar bypoll, but it is not too far the CM will definitely taste the defeat in the hands of Telangana people very soon.
