I’m not being stubborn, there’s nothing left to discuss, says BSY on transport workers strike

Bengaluru: Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has stated that he is not being stubborn over the issue of transport employees strike but there was nothing left to talk with them.

Speaking to reporters at residential office ‘Krishna,’ he said, “I appeal to transport workers. Don’t fall prey to rumours and listen to those who want to use you. We had released your salaries last year, even amidst the pandemic induced economic crisis.”

“85 per cent of the State’s revenues are spent on non-planned expenditures. We have fulfilled eight of your nine demands. The RTCs are to serve the public, however now they are suffering. The employees must understand the current economic condition of the state,” he said.
