Industries Minister Gudivada Amarnath has asked Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan to stop privatisation of Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL), the corporate entity of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), if he is so capable of it, using his “close association” with the Union government.
Recalling Mr. Pawan Kalyan’s reported remarks in the city on Thursday that he would impress upon the Centre to “dethrone the YSRCP government in Andhra Pradesh,” Mr. Amarnath, while addressing the media here on August 11 (Friday), said, “If he has such capabilities, why didn’t he try to stop privatisation of the steel plant?”
“Mr. Pawan Kalyan is an actor and Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is a public leader. There is no comparison between them. It is ridiculous on the part of the JSP leader to make such claims. Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy has led by example. He had the guts to revolt against the formidable Congress leader Sonia Gandhi when he was barely 35 years of age,” the Minister said.
