TDP blames Jagan for the problems in erstwhile Gangavaram port and Visakhapatnam Steel Plant

TDP VSP Visakhapatnam Steel Plant

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national spokesman K. Pattabhi Ram held Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy responsible for the sordid state of affairs in the erstwhile Gangavaram port and Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP). 

The Gangavaram port was in dire straits due to the negligence of the State government and as its operations allegedly came to a standstill, the coking coal supply to VSP was disrupted, he alleged. The consequence was a drastic fall in steel production. 

VSP used to pay a cargo handling charge of ₹270 per ton when the Gangavaram port was owned by DVS Raju Consortium and it went up to ₹350 after the port was sold off to the Adani Group, Mr. Pattabhi Ram said.
