TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday alleged that the laterite extracted from the erstwhile East Godavari district was being illegally supplied to Bharathi Cement Corporation Limited, in which Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s family holds over 40% stake.
Mr. Naidu was on a one-day tour in the Kakinada parliamentary constituency as part of his State-wide campaign, ‘Baadude-Baadudu’, against the State government’s policies.
Addressing the gathering of public and party supporters on Kathipudi-Gollapudi road, Mr. Naidu alleged that a huge quantity of laterite was being extracted from the erstwhile East Godavari district and illegally being supplied to Bharathi Cements. “However, cement price remains uncontrollable in the State,” he said.
