HYDERABAD: TS BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Friday alleged that the TRS government led by Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao has made the lives of common people miserable by increasing various taxes, power tariff and ticket rates for TSRTC buses. “In the last few months, the KCR government indiscriminately increased power tariffs, property tax, drinking water cess, and now RTC fares,” he said. The bus fares have been hiked five times in three years, he said, adding that the Chief Minister was robbing the poor of the one mode of transportation they were managing to afford. He also said RTC employees were not being salaries on time, and alleged that the Chief Minister turned TSRTC into a debt-ridden entity.
