TDP national spokesperson K. Pattabhiram on November 14 alleged that the Director of Mines and Geology Department Venkat Reddy was “telling blatant lies” on the issue of sand mining in the State.
“Mr. Venkat Reddy should stop slandering the media and maligning the TDP for exposing the loot of sand reserves by Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and should answer pertinent questions raised,” Mr. Pattabhiram said at a press conference here.
Jaiprakash Power Ventures Ltd (JPVL) continues to mine sand in the State. If the terms of the contract with the company have been extended, the government should make the details public, he said.
