BJP protests RTC fares hike in Karimnagar

Sanjay Kumar regretted that KCR was concerned about organising Iftar dinners
Karimnagar: The BJP Karimnagar city president Bandi Sanjay Kumar alleged that TRS-led government was discriminating members of Hindu religion by raising fares of RTC buses ahead of Pushkaralu. He along with members and activists of the BJP staged a protest demanding reduction of the fares of RTC buses, here on Sunday. They were arrested for protesting and were released in the evening.
Mr Sanjay Kumar regretted that Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao was concerned about organising Iftar dinners, but ignoring festivals of Hindu religion. He charged that the government failed to provide facilities to Hindus. Above all, increase in fares of buses during Pushkaralu, Sammakka Saralamma Jathara and Mahasivarathri festival indicates discriminative attitude of Mr Rao towards members of Hindu religion, he flayed.
The BJP city president asserted that the Chief Minister was announcing sops and concessions to certain sections of society, pointing out at Muslims. He attributed lack of commitment of the government to delay in making of arrangements and poor quality works for conducting the 12-day long river fete. He cautioned that the government would be made responsible if devotees face any hassles during Pushkarlu.
