Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Y.S. Sharmila on April 13 (Saturday) slammed the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) for its failure to achieve the promised Kadapa steel factory.
Addressing an election meeting at Jammalamadugu in Kadapa district, Ms. Sharmila said she had fond memories of this place, as not only she and her brother Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, but also her father Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy were born here.
“Jammalamadugu is a backward area full of rocks and mounds. YSR was determined to build the proposed Kadapa steel factory in the area though the project was to cost around ₹30,000 crore, as it would generate employment opportunities for more than one lakh local people,” she said, adding that the project would have been operational by now had YSR been alive today.
