Andhiyur MLA drives bus amid workers strike

Deccan Chronicle  

Salem: Unmindful of consequences, an AIADMK MLA representing Andhiyur in the Tamil Nadu Assembly, Mr. Raja Krishnan, braved to take to the wheels of a State Transport Corporation bus and jolly well drove it from Andhiyur to Bhavani on Friday, after STC workers struck work in response to the trade unions call for an indefinite strike over wage revision and other issues. Raja Krishnan surprised everyone to take the driver's seat, like duck to water even as a group of striking transport workers of the DMK-affiliated LPF sat on a 'dharna' near the Andhiyur bus stand, protesting against the MLA's anti-workers' decision. However, police rushed to the spot to clear the road and the AIADMK MLA continued his journey, steering the STC bus for full 18-km, up to Bhavani in Erode district. Salem district collector, Ms. Rohini R. Bhajibhakare swung into action, visiting bus depots, inspecting them and instructed Transport officials to ensure passengers were not fleeced by private bus operators today.
