Telangana BJP chief mocks at govt for stalling privatisation of steel company

Telangana: Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party president Bandi Sanjay on Monday ridiculed the attempt of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi government led by chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to stall the privatisation of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant by taking part in the bidding for Expression of Interest (EOI).

“It is ridiculous that the chief minister who cannot pay salaries to his government employees on the first day of the month and implement his promises of waiving crop loans and unemployment allowance, is talking about bidding for the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant,” Sanjay said while speaking to reporters after watching the latest blockbuster film “Balagam” at Devi Theatre in the afternoon.

“It is like a person who cannot provide food to his own mother properly, promising to get gold bangles for his aunt,” he said. “Forget Visakhapatam Steel Plant. First, KCR should fulfil his promise of establishing Bayyaram Steel Plant in Khammam and providing jobs to 20,000 people,” he said.

Complimenting the makers of Balagam film for effectively depicting human sentiments and emotions, Sanjay said the chief minister had no belief in human relations except money-related matters. “In the past, he had harassed PCC chief A Revanth Reddy at the time of his daughter’s marriage. Recently, he got me arrested illegally when I was attending the last rites of my mother-in-law,” he criticised.

Reacting strongly to the petition filed by the Warangal police seeking to cancel his bail, Sanjay said the police were acting according to the directions from Pragati Bhavan. “Why should they ask for cancellation of my bail? Am I a terrorist or a Naxalites? Did I make thousands of crores of rupees through illegal methods like KCR’s son and daughter?” he asked.

He also found fault with the police for serving notices on BJP MLA Eatala Rajender though he had not committed any crime. On the missing of his phone, Sanjay said his phone was with him right from the time he was arrested in Karimnagar and brought to Siddipet.
“The police themselves took away my phone and are now enacting dramas. In fact, KCR was shocked to see my phone, which contained the call list of several BRS MLAs and MPs,” he said.
