Industries and IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao has asked the Central Government to stop its ‘discriminatory approach’ towards Telangana and take steps to set up a steel plant at Bayyaram at the earliest.
The Minister expressed concern that though high quality iron ore was available at Bayyaram, the lack of commitment of the Centre had delayed the setting up of the proposed steel plant. “Setting up of a steel plant at Bayyaram was a promise made to Telangana in the AP Reorganisation Act 2014, but the Centre had not initiated any steps in this direction even after seven-and-a-half years,” he said.
