RTC merger, Telangana Assembly witnesses heated exchanges

The State Assembly on Wednesday witnessed heated exchanges between the treasury benches and the principal opposition party BRS on the issue of recognising staff of the State Road Transport Corporation as government employees.

The trouble started during Question Hour when senior BRS MLA T Harish Rao asked the government to announce a date by



which the RTC staff would be recognised as government employees. Criticising the government for delaying the process of absorbing RTC employees into the government and recognizing them as government employees, he said the BRS government had started the process but the Congress government, even after seven months, was not taking steps to merge the RTC with the government.
