With the strike by employees of the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation(TSRTC), entering the 37th day, it became the longest strike in the history of the Corporation in the Telangana states. Over 48,000 employees of the state-owned public transport utility are on strike since October 5 to press for their 26 demands. Their main demand is the merger of the TSRTC with the government so that they are treated at par with government employees. KCR led government has, however, rejected the merger demands from 56 other Corporations and he blamed the RTC union leaders and the opposition parties for the current situation. He remarked that the 'TSRTC is finished and nobody can save it'. He said 'by going on strike during festival season, the employees cut the very branch they were sitting on'. Unfazed by the strike and the protests, the Chief Minister has asked the TSRTC officials to hire more private buses to run under the Corporation. He has also dropped hints of issuing permits to private operators. Though ruling out the total privatization of the TSRTC, he made it clear that the Corporation will not remain the same. Due to this four employees were committed suicide. K.Neeraja, Surender Goud, Srinivas Reddy, and Surender Reddy killed themselves in separate incidents, as their salaries for September were not paid, and the state government dubbed them 'self-dismissed' for deciding to go on strike. The strike took a serious turn when four employees found dead.  So, In my point of view, I can't say it's government mistake or employee's mistake because each of them are correct in their ways. If the government joins RTC people in government, they have to pay more salary but the government does not have that much budget to pay for them, so they are not able to do that. When we consider RTC workers, they work very hard not even bothering about festivals, family,... As they are struggling hard, they think that they deserve to get a better salary with minimum benefits.  so you guys can comment your opinion in the comment box  below
