Babu Posing Heavy Burden On People

• Is Babu planning to privatize RTC?
• How can you hike prices thrice in 2 years?
• Rs.120 crore burden in a year on people
• YSR never hiked charges even when oil cost rose: Venugopala Krishna

Hyderabad: Chandrababu had promised before coming into power that he would not hike RTC charges but had already hikes them thrice in a period of 2 years and 1 month, criticised YSRCP’s official spokesman Chelluboina Venugopala Krishna. The hike had been 12% in 2015 and 10% in 2016, he mentioned. He complained that Chandrababu had been posing big burden on people just by raising prices by one rupee. He condemned this on behalf of YSRCP.

Venugopala Krishna stated that former CM YS Raja Sekhar Reddy had not raised the charges even when crude oil rate was $140 and mentioned that the price having dropped to $40 now, Chandrababu was hiking prices instead of bringing them down. He also condemned collection of Rs.4 per litre over VAT on diesel.

He sternly questioned if Chandrababu was planning to privatize RTC. He slammed the Rs.120 crore burden to be imposed on people this year. He blamed the Government’s failure for the price rise and demanded the Government to give up its rule in such an incompetent situation.

Babu promised to not raise power charged at the time of Pada yatra in Kakinada, he reminded. After collecting Re.1 from each person and filling the treasury, Rs.2000 crore of it was being spent for industrialists’ discounts, he remarked. Venugopala Krishna complained that corruption of worth hundreds of crores had happened in Pattiseema issue. Endowments lands of worth thousands of crores of rupees had been simply swallowed, he reminded. He ridiculed that Chandrababu who always used the words “you have to remember that” in every media conference was actually forgetting everything. He reminded that people never forgot anything.
