Secret plot to privatize RTC?
24-03-2026
The Telangana government is facing allegations of deliberately weakening the State Road Transport Corporation to pave the way for privatization. Workers claim that the state is avoiding direct purchase of electric buses, instead leasing them through private companies. Government decisions are allegedly creating conditions that push RTC into debt, potentially forcing the sale of valuable assets such as depots, workshops, commercial complexes, and land. Even though RTC has the capacity to manufacture its own buses, it is being sidelined, prompting suspicions of a calculated privatization plan.
