Leaders of joint action committee of Telangana RTC employees’ unions have been meeting every political leader seeking support to their agitation for a solution to their legitimate demands.
As part of that, they approached power star and Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan as well on Thursday. They gave a representation to him and sought his support.
The Jana Sena chief came out with a surprising announcement. He said he would meet Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and personally make a request to him to resolve the crisis in the RTC.
"I will seek an appointment of the chief minister and prevail upon him to consider the genuine demands of the RTC workers. I will request KCR to find a solution to the RTC crisis. If I don't get appointment, I will think and decide what can be done,” he said.
Pawan wondered why KCR was so angry with the RTC workers.
“It is the question of not an organisation but the livelihood of 48,000 workers and families depending on them. The government should be sympathetic towards their demands,” he said.
He said he would also meet senior leaders K Keshava Rao, KT Rama Rao, T Harish Rao. He also assured to talk to Keshava Rao over phone.
However, what Pawan has failed to understand is that KCR has already taken a decision to wind up the RTC and that is precisely why he is so adamant on their demand of the RTC workers.
Most probably, the Telangana chief minister will finalise his decision at the cabinet meeting to be held on November 3 on privatisation of RTC.
