Why do the RTC workers feel cheated and justified in striking? The issues that led to the situation are quite obvious. (1) The most significant fact is that the CM promised to make RTC employees equal to government employees during the Telangana agitation and as an election promise. (2) As a major participant in the struggle for a separate Telangana, they felt a sense of ownership on the state and when the state’s Andhra neighbour merged the APSRTC with the state government, their pain intensified. (3) Taxing RTC on the one hand and denying funds on the other hand, leading to the deterioration of the RTC infrastructure. This also gives credence to the theory that the crisis was created by the government just to pave the way for privatisation and hand over the RTC to cronies. RTC workers and unions saw this coming and have been crying hoarse.
