Centre hatching conspiracy for VSP's failure: Sharmila

Deccan Chronicle  

Vijayawada: APCC Chief YS Sharmila Reddy alleged that the Centre was hatching a conspiracy for the failure of Visakha Steel Company. The Centre has extended Rs 15,000 crore aid to the Karnataka Steel Plant to save it, as Union Steel HD Kumaraswamy belongs to that state, she pointed out. The Centre could not spend funds for the revival of Visakha Steel which has 26,000 employees but sanctioned heavy financial aid to Karnataka Steel Plant which has employed only 243 staff. While JD which has two MPs could get Rs 15,000 crores sanctioned, the TDP and Jana Sena parties which played a crucial role in the coalition government are only appeasing Prime Minister Narendra Modi, without any monetary gains. At the same time, she fumed at Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for speaking about Mittal Steel with MOdi while the VSP employees are not getting their salaries, dip in production due to shortage of raw materials, and over 1,400 employees have been protesting demanding immediate sanction of aid from the Centre.
