Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has condemned the statement of Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, that establishing a steel plant at Bayyaram is not possible. The party has sought to know whether it is the view of Mr. Kishan Reddy or that of the Centre.
Minster for Tribal Welfare Satyavathi Rathod, Mahabubabad MP M. Kavitha and MLA D.S. Redya Naik said here on Tuesday that a steel plant was the right of Telangana and the right of tribal communities of the area. The then UPA government had assured to set up a steel plant at Bayyaram by mentioning it in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.
They reminded the Union Minister that the iron ore mines in the area allotted to Rakshana Steels in 2006 were resumed by the government after cancelling the allotment. The statement of Mr. Kishan Reddy was like a bolt from the blue as hopes were still alive about the steel plant. They sought to know whether Mr. Reddy had done anything beneficial to Telangana so far.
