No question of holding negotiations, say Ministers
As the bus strike called by a section of employees of the Road Transport Corporations (RTCs) entered the 13th day on Monday, a meeting of Kodihalli Chandrashekar, the honorary president of the Karnataka State Road Transport Employees’ League, with Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai stoked a controversy. After the meeting, Mr. Chandrashekar claimed that he has got an assurance that issues will be resolved within three days in a cordial manner. He told mediapersons that Mr. Bommai informed that talks will take place as soon as the Chief Minister, who is receiving treatment for COVID-19, gets discharged from the hospital, and Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi returns to Bengaluru. After the meeting, a message allegedly issued by the League, with a photo of Mr. Chandrashekar, started circulating among employees, stating that the Home Minister will hold talks with the CM on 6 th Pay Commission recommendations in two days.More Related News
