Kavitha blames Congress for creating hurdles
Nizamabad MP K Kavitha on Friday alleged that the Congress leaders created hurdles in the implementation of hereditary appointments in Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL). She said that the all-party coalition against KCR was the coalition against the interests of workers.
Hyderabad: Nizamabad MP K Kavitha on Friday alleged that the Congress leaders created hurdles in the implementation of hereditary appointments in Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL). She said that the all-party coalition against KCR was the coalition against the interests of workers.
The MP was addressing a meeting of TRS workers of Singareni coal belt, the Telangana Boggu Gani Karmika Sangham (TBGKS), here at the Telangana Bhavan on Friday.
She recalled that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao had assured about the hereditary appointments to the dependents of SCCL workers. She alleged that the Congress leaders hatched conspiracy and went to the court and the process had been stopped. “This is just a comma, not a full stop.
We will not seek vote by misleading you. We will tell what we have done and what we haven’t. KCR is behind you; no need of any fear,” Kavitha said.
She recalled that Singareni workers were in forefront in the Telangana agitation. When KCR was arrested on November 29, the Singareni workers staged protest at Alaganur Chaurasta on November 30 and did not allow transportation of coal. Thus, the Singerani workers showed the way to the people of Telangana during the stir.
Because of the efforts of KCR, the workers could get enhanced ex-gratia in case of death. “TRS was not in power in 2001 when 17 workers died; but KCR visited the site and ensured workers families get their due share,” said Kavitha.
Kavitha said that after coming to power, TRS government recognised the sacrifices of workers and also sanctioned special increment.
