Kollu Ravindra refutes Opposition criticism on VSP package, hails Naidu’s contribution to secure funds

The Hindu  

Refuting the Opposition criticism that the special package announced by the Centre for the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant is no solution to save the plant from the threat of privatisation, Minister for Excise and Mines Kollu Ravindra gave full credit to Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for securing it. Addressing a media conference along with TDP State president Palla Srinivasa Rao at the TDP office here on Tuesday, Mr. Ravindra hailed Mr. Naidu for taking up the issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah and convincing them to release funds for the revival of the steel plant. He recalled that even during his earlier stint as Chief Minister, Mr. Naidu had approached the then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and convinced him to grant funds for saving VSP from being referred to the Board for Industrial Finance and Restructuring, thereby saving it from the threat of closure. Mr. Srinivasa Rao said that the Chief Minister had kept his election promise by securing funds to the tune of ₹11,400 crore from the Centre.
