BRS Plans Singareni Meeting, Demands Workers’ Profit Share
The BRS party plans to hold a large meeting in Ramagundam on October 14.
It says the meeting will draw attention to problems at Singareni Collieries and concerns raised by its workers.
The party wants the company to announce its profits and give workers a share.
It is also asking for eligible dependents to get jobs, pending payments to be cleared, and union elections to be held.
T. Harish Rao said workers’ profit share has gone down since the Congress government took power.
He also said company profits may be much lower this year.
Rao blamed delays and other administrative problems, and questioned the need for another overdraft.
These claims and demands were made by BRS leaders.
The BRS plans a public meeting called Singareni Karmika Garjana in Ramagundam on October 14 at 5 pm.
BRS leaders say the meeting will highlight issues facing Singareni Collieries Company Limited and its workers.
The party is demanding immediate disclosure of profits and a share for workers, as well as dependent jobs, pending payments and union elections.
T. Harish Rao said workers’ profit share fell from 32% under the BRS to 16% in the first year of Congress rule and 12.5% in 2024–25.
Rao cited profits of ₹6,394 crore in 2024–25 and estimated this year’s profit may not exceed ₹1,800 crore; he also questioned a proposed ₹4,000 crore overdraft.
