One of the most powerful women politicians in Telugu speaking states, Vijayashanthi came on to the media to support TSRTC, firing on KCR and TRS. Vijayashanthi, who is a star campaigner for Congress in Telangana mentioned that KCR is behaving like a boss rather than like a leader.
KCR supported his move on the strike mentioning that the TSRTC is in tough situation and privatization will help the organization to give better services to the people. Countering this statement, Vijayashanthi fired on KCR saying that the Finance department of Telangana too is in tough situation and TRS and KCR should consider privatizing it as well.
Interestingly, the people who played key role in the formation of Telangana like Vijayashanthi, Professor Kondandaram, JAC members, unions etc are fighting for the TSRTC rights against TRS, which is the main party which initiated the Telangana movement. Few of them are praising AP government’s move on APSRTC.
