Minister for IT and Industries K.T. Rama Rao has objected to Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw’s statement made here on Friday that there is no chance of establishing a railway coach factory at Kazipet, as promised in the State Bifurcation Act.
The Centre had been discriminating against Telangana from the beginning and the promises made in the Act including sanctioning ITIR project, establishing steel plant at Bayyaram and giving national status to one of the irrigation projects were not fulfilled even eight years after formation of the State. Mr. Vaishnaw’s fresh statement was nothing but an extension of the Centre’s discrimination policy against Telangana, Mr. Rama Rao said.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Mr. Rama Rao alleged that the Centre had evaded responsibility on setting up railway coach factory and it was a death blow to Telangana’s interests and outright cheating of Telangana people. “It’s a classic example of how the BJP-led Government at the Centre is acting against the interests of Telangana”, he said.
