Hyderabad: Former Minister T Harish Rao Accuses Telangana Government of Cheating Singareni Coal Workers Over Dasara Bonus

Former minister T Harish Rao on Monday, September 22, lashed out at the Congress-led Telangana government, accusing it of cheating Singareni coal workers in the name of the Dasara bonus. In a statement, the senior BRS leader alleged that the government has pushed Singareni workers into disappointment by declaring a bonus based on reduced profits.

Government Reduced Distributable Share: Harish Rao

Harish Rao pointed out that instead of considering the total profit of Rs 6,394 crore, the government restricted the bonus calculation to Rs 2,360 crore, which he described as highly condemnable. “They reduced the distributable share, increased the percentages artificially, and deceived workers,” he said.

Recalling the tenure under BRS governance, Harish Rao emphasized that former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR) ensured workers received a fair share from the net profits. It was under KCR’s leadership that the workers’ share was enhanced from 16 percent to 32 percent.

He criticized the current Congress government for setting aside one-third of the profits and declaring the bonus only on a part of the remaining share, calling this move unjust.

Demand to Pay 34% of Net Profits as Bonus

Harish Rao demanded that the government pay 34 percent of net profits as a bonus to the Singareni workers. He also warned that if injustice continues to be meted out to the workers, he would stand by them and fight for their rights.

**Chennai:** In a shocking display of aggression, a Special Sub-Inspector of Police in Tirunelveli, south Tamil Nadu, was caught on video driving his car with a young man clinging to the bonnet for nearly 200 metres after a minor traffic accident spiraled out of control.

The incident took place on Wednesday night when Gandhirajan, a Special Sub-Inspector from Tirunelveli Town Police Station, was driving his car. A sudden stop by a bus ahead caused the biker in front of him to brake sharply. Unfortunately, the car then collided with the bike, throwing it to the roadside. The rider, a young man, sustained minor injuries.

When the man confronted Gandhirajan, the officer appeared agitated. In an alarming move, he accelerated his car in an attempt to intimidate the young man, who refused to move. The force of the car pushed the man onto the bonnet, where he held on desperately, screaming for help as the officer sped off.

For a horrifying distance of nearly 200 metres, the officer continued driving with the man clinging to the front of the vehicle. Onlookers recorded the shocking incident, which quickly went viral and sparked widespread outrage across social media.

In response to the incident, Gandhirajan has been transferred to the Armed Reserve Police Camp. Additionally, a departmental inquiry has been initiated to investigate the matter further.
