Chinajeeyar Swamy is a Hindu spiritual guru of KCR, tsrtc staff meet with Chinajeeyar Swamy and the Swamy’s followers include a majority of people from the Velama community in Telangana.

“We briefed Chinajeeyar Swamiji about our problems. We told him that we had not received the salary for September. Our families are suffering and couldn’t celebrate Dussehra and Diwali. However, TSRTC employees on srtike due to the TRS government is neglecting the strike and our problems. We also told the Swamiji that we are demanding not only a salary hike but also the protection of the public transport corporation,” said an employee.

The YSRCP government will complete the merger process within the stipulated period. We’re seeing what’s happening in Telangana.
