During the motion of thanks to the governor's address, Jangaon BRS mla Palla Rajeshwar reddy discussed the struggles faced by auto drivers. He claimed that since the free travel scheme for women and transgender people began in TSRTC buses, 21 auto drivers have died by suicide. He also demanded that the government give their families Rs 20 lakh as an ex gratia.
"6.5 million auto drivers suffer since women may go for free on buses. Very few auto drivers own their cars; most rent their vehicles for Rs 300 per day, plus they have to pay Rs 200 for gasoline. In addition, a lot of people must pay their vehicle loans back, according to Palla Rajeshwar Reddy. He said, "Now, they are killing themselves and have nothing saved for basic needs."
"We have committed to providing auto workers with Rs 12,000 in anticipation of minor problems (caused by the free travel scheme)." We intend to fulfill that commitment in the next budget. We pledge to fulfill the commitments within a hundred days. people are being misled by the BRS, he claimed.
