Reportedly when responding to CM KCR's statement that TSRTC employees are drawing Rs 50,000 plus salaries and passed ultimatum to them to call off their strike with immediate effect, outraged RTC employees have turned up with their pay slips to protest against Telangana state government. Meanwhile TS RTC employees claim that 90 percent of them draw salaries below Rs 20,000 per month and this has been the case for last 25 to 30 years.
Further the protesting further stated that if the government pays Rs 50,000 per
month, they said they would withdraw the strike immediately and join the work. Reportedly
the protesting RTC employees said there is no truth in KCR's statement over RTC
employees' salaries. Apparently the strikers have thrown an open challenge to
CM kcr to prove that their salaries are over Rs 50,000.
Moreover the strike has reached the fifth day in a row and hence this is creating a lot of trouble to daily commuters and common people who are facing the wrath and the passengers are pushing one another in buses for space. Meanwhile the government claims of taking alternative measures, in reality, people are suffering. Opposition parties are lending their support to RTC strike.
