Here are some facts about Telangana RTC Strike:
- Most of losses come from GHMC area. KCR govt promised to reimburse,which didn’t happen.
- Govt charges only 1% tax on Airplane fuel. RTC pays 27%.
- Govt giving subsidies to the tune of 600 cr per year.
- No control on private buses. Those cause ~ 1000 crores loss per year.
- RTC operates lot of loss making routes as a public service – otherwise lot of rural areas will be completely cut out.
- Almost all private buses run as stage carriers. No action.
- Our opinion is Privatization (even partially) is not a good option.
- Think schools, hospitals. Price gouging and Monopoly on certain routes.
- All profitable routes will be taken by private operators, leaving loss making to RTC.
-
Irony – TRS as a party is built on people movement and unions. It is now ironic that KCR government is adding a pre condition that all the new employees shouldn’t join unions.
- At one point, Harish Rao was President of these unions.
-
It is sad to see most of media playing govt tune. Of major media houses, only Eenadu has given view point of workers.
- Pathetic that so called top news channels just parroting Govt press notes instead of presenting the socio economic havoc this could cause
