Telangana Jagruti president and BRS MLC Kavitha protested against the state government’s increase in bus pass charges. Under her leadership, the activists tried to besiege Bus Bhavan, the headquarters of the TSRTC. In that order, the police stopped her attempt. As a result, she sat on the road, causing a huge traffic jam.
To this extent, a heated argument took place between Kavitha and the police. A tense situation arose locally due to Kavitha’s dharna. They demanded that the increased prices be withdrawn immediately. As the protest program turned tense, the police intervened and detained MLC Kavitha along with several Jagruti activists.
Later, she was taken to Chandrayangutta police station. On this occasion, Kavitha expressed her concern that the Revanth Reddy government was looting the people of Telangana indiscriminately and that it was putting a heavy burden on students and the public. Jagruti activists also reached the police station in large numbers and raised slogans against the police and the government.
After being released from the police station, she expressed her anger that the state government has increased the bus pass prices and imposed a heavy burden on the common man. She deplored that students and low-wage employees will face financial difficulties due to this decision taken by the government. She explained that with this price increase, an additional burden of more than Rs. 300 per month is likely to be imposed on the passenger.
She accused the government of robbing the people. In addition, MLC Kavitha was angry that she was receiving complaints that not enough buses are running on many routes for the convenience of students. The opposition is alleging that the increase in the fares of Ordinary, Metro Express and Metro Deluxe by almost 20 percent will put a heavy burden on the residents of Hyderabad city.
However, Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar has already responded to this increase in bus pass fares. He explained that it has been a long time since bus pass fares were increased and that they had to be increased in this context.
