YSRCP MP Vijayasai Reddy Lashes Out At Chandrababu Naidu Over Visakhapatnam Steel Plant Criticism

Senior Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) leader and Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament (MP) V. Vijayasai Reddy lashed out at the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) National President N. Chandrababu Naidu.

On the 19th of February, Mr. Vijayasai Reddy alleged Naidu of solding 54 government companies during his reign.  

Mr. Reddy said, “Who sold Nizam Sugars Limited, dozen cooperative sugar factories, Allwyn watches, spinning mills and paper mills, all together 54 companies.”

The criticism came amid the ongoing war of word over the privatisation of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant.

The Central Government recently decided to privatise the years old steel plant.

The TDP held several protests and criticised the YSRCP Government for not taking astand. Instead, the TDP alleged the Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy led Government of supporting the Government of India and making a deal with them.

In response to the criticism and allegations, Vijayasai Reddy doubled down on the TDP Supremo following his censure of the State Government and Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for failing to stop the Central government’s decision of privatising Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP).

Mr. Reddy said, “Further, who emptied 100 more companies and sent lakhs of employees home with voluntary retirement service (VRS)? Don’t people know your crocodile tears Babu.”

According to the Rajya Sabha MP, the ruling YSRCP party leaders would undertake a 25 km ‘padayatra’ (walkathon) on Saturday in Visakhapatnam, starting from the Mahatma Gandhi statue at the city civic body office and terminating at the steel plant arch.

He ridiculed that a leader like N. Chandrababu Naidu, who allegedly sold away 54 government companies, is now claiming to fight for the steel plant.

Vijayasai Reddy said, “He (Naidu) spewed venom the moment it was announced that Visakhapatnam would be made the executive capital. Using media houses favouring him, he propagated that Vizag is prone to tsunamis and earthquakes.”

The ‘padayatra’ will traverse through Asilmetta Junction, Sangam Sarath, Kali Temple, Thatichetlapalem, Kancharapalem, Urvasi Junction, 104 area, Marripalem, NAD Junction, airport, Sheela Nagar, BHPV, Old Gajuwaka and Srinagar.

Meanwhile, the ongoing fuss over the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant is still going on.

Stay tuned for further updates.
