Transporters' shutdown: Siddaramaiah's rejects demand


Bengaluru, Sep 11 (IANS): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday refused to meet a demand of the protesting transporters.

Speaking to reporters in Mysuru, CM Siddaramaiah stated, "The private transporters are placing unrealistic demands. They are claiming loss incurred due to the free travel scheme, is it possible to refund their losses?

"There is no provision to take action on their protest. Let them protest without violating the law. The Minister for Transport Ramalinga Reddy will look into the demands."

Former CM H.D. Kumaraswamy demanded that the government should look into the demands without ego and with humanity. “The demands are not impossible ones. The government should not forget that they have families, parents and children to take care of.

He further maintained that the side-effects of the guarantee schemes have started affecting the people. The people who took loans for cabs, taxis and found their livelihoods have come on to the streets. The private transport network which operated on par with government transport has now been destroyed, he added.
