It is known that Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has included APSRTC into the government. He also increased the retirement age to 60 years. Even the TSRTC employees have been demanding the same since long. But, KCR is not in a mood to hear any of those demands and is busy touring in Delhi.
So, to go against the TS government, the RTC employees called for a huge protest today. KCR, on the beforehand, has stopped the salaries and also the other allowances to the employees.
Much to the shock, the dynamic CM has reportedly called the retired employees to take up the duties, if at all the current employees go on a strike. The driver would get Rs. 1500 per day and conductor Rs. 1000.

It is to be remembered that even RTC employees played a key role in fighting for the separate state of Telangana, by stopping the bus services during the Telangana movement in the past. But it is clearly evident that KCR is not at all in a mood to go in favor of the employees and is only resorting to take revenge on them.
But the things may go extremely wrong, if he continues to do it for long. The BJP, which is waiting for an opportunity to go against TS government, may turn the situation in its favor and thus grow in the state.
