Apr 24, 2024
Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) [India], April 24 : Rajya Sabha MP and BJP Anakapalli Lok Sabha candidate CM Ramesh said that the Centre has stopped the privatisation of Visakhapatnam Steel plant after an internal discussion.
He clarified that no further development will be made to privatise the steel plant.
"We will see ways to strengthen the plant. It isn't the decision of any party, it was decided by the union government to stop the steel plant privatisation," he said.
Ramesh alleged that Kadapa MP Avinash Reddy killed the late former CM Raja Sekhar Reddy's brother Vivekananda Reddy on the instructions of CM YS Jagan Reddy.
"Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has collected all evidence of Vivekananda Reddy's murder case. CM Reddy knows everything about the murder of Vivekananda Reddy. More than 2 lakh supporters of Avinash Reddy were there (Kurnool) when the CBI came to arrest Avinash Reddy. Later he got bail. But I am sure that CBI will arrest him very soon," Ramesh added.
Ramesh also said that he met Tollywood superstar and former union minister Chiranjeevi.
"I thank Chiranjeevi and Jansena chief Pawan Kalyan for extending their support," he said.
After 2104, Chiranjeevi faded out from politics and focused on movies. Later, in a video, Chiranjeevi requested the people of Anakaplli to vote for BJP Lok Sabha candidate CM Ramesh.
