Kishan’s tactics pay-off: TSRTC to release 500 buses for Hyd Liberation Day fete

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: The persuasive tactics of Union tourism minister G. Kishan Reddy and his veiled threat seem to have worked as TSRTC officials on Tuesday agreed to provide 500 buses for the Hyderabad Liberation Day celebrations on September 17. This comes as a significant change as earlier the corporation had refused to oblige when the minister had sought buses for the event on the pretext that ‘the state government has booked all available buses for the Hyderabad state integrity day celebrations at NTR stadium, also slated for the same day’. Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, TSRTC greater Hyderabad zone executive director Yadagiri said that 102 buses were allotted to the state government for September 17. He urged Assembly speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy to suspend Rao from the house for his unforgivable ‘fascist’ comments against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
