It’s a known fact to everyone that TRS chief and Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao will not give the appointment to anyone, who want to meet him.

Let alone common people, even his ministers and his own party MLAs struggle to get KCR’s appointment.

There are several ministers and TRS MLAs who failed to get KCR’s appointment for months and years.

But that is KCR’s style of functioning.

“No one can meet KCR by taking appointment. They can meet KCR only if KCR wants to meet them,” this is the standard thumb rule in TRS.

In these circumstances, what people in Telangana will do to ‘influence’ KCR or take their problems to the notice of KCR.

Telangana people now seem to be finding solace in Chinna Jeeyar Swamy.

Everyone knows that KCR is an ardent devotee of China Jeeyar Swamy.

He makes it a point to visit Swamy every now and then along with family members.

It’s also common to see KCR falling on the feet of Swamy by doing “Saastaanga Namaskaram” twice in his every visit to his ashram.

Seeing this, Telangana people now feel that if Swamy orders anything, KCR will obey.

TSRTC employees, who are on indefinite strike since October 5, seem to be also feeling the same.

They met Swamy today and urged him to instruct KCR to resolve RTC strike and protect their jobs.

Because KCR is adopting a ‘tough stand’ on KCR strike and dismissed 48,000 RTC staff for going on strike. He is now threatening to close RTC and privatise it.

Earlier, revenue employees also met Swamy and urged him to instruct KCR not to abolish Revenue Department, after KCR repeatedly threatened of abolition.

This seems to have worked as KCR did not abolish Revenue Department yet.

Let’s see whether RTC employees petition with Swamy will also work or whether KCR will listen to Swamy and soften his stand on RTC strike.
