Telangana CM K Chandrasekhara Rao is facing lot of problems because of RTC agitation in his state. All his troubles started after AP CM YS Jaganmohan Reddy announced merger of APSRTC with the government. When Telangana RTC leaders talked about Jagan’s generosity, KCR sarcastically commented that the hidden complications behind the APSRTC merger will be known to the world after a few months.
Are KCR’s words coming true now? Analysts say that it is true. From the beginning, the Jagan Reddy government is not transparent on RTC issue. The latest development is that the APSRTC governing body has approved merger of only the employees but not the entire corporation and its property.
The Central government has a share in RTC which is why its representatives on the board have opposed the wholesale merger. As a result, Jagan Regime could not merge APSRTC and its assets with the government. This is why it cannot be called merger but only en masse transfer of employees from RTC to the government. The Centre has given its consent since this transfer will not have any future financial complications for it.
