INTUC Secretary General B. Janak Prasad criticized former Minister T. Harish Rao, asserting Rao lacks the moral standing to discuss Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) employees' welfare. Prasad accused Rao of supporting SCCL privatization and misusing company funds. He contrasted this with the current Congress government's alleged pro-worker measures, including increased insurance, bonuses, and higher recruitment age limits, while also highlighting state government efforts to strengthen SCCL.
