Former MLA and CPI State leader Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao on Saturday commenced his fast-unto-death at Makhdoom Bhavan here, in support of the striking TSRTC employees. Veteran party leader Suravaram Sudhakar Reddy launched the programme and sat along with Rao.
Speaking on the occasion Reddy alleged that the Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was conspiring to
finish the corporation and siphon off all its valuable assets. He reminded the Chief Minister that the corporation was not a commercial organisation but a public transport corporation. Sambasiva Rao said that the attitude of KCR towards the RTC workers, who fought relentlessly for the formation of separate Telangana state, was not proper.
