KCR’s crackdown on TSRTC strike a reminder of Jayalalithaa’s iron hand strategy

These are merely a handful of accusations hurled at Telangana CM KCR by the striking State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) employees.
KCR however refused to have talks with the unions representing 50,000 odd employees, which led to the spilled anger on the streets.
When public transportation came to a grinding halt after protests, he decided to hire 2,500 buses and recruit staff to ply them.
He then gave a deadline for employees to return to work and when they didn't, he announced that as of Sunday, the corporation only had 1,200 staff.
