Andhracafe.com- HYDERABAD : The of TDP Parliamentary Party leader K. Yerran Naidu asked the trials to chase away those coming agency area to take up bauxite mining taking inspiration from Alluri Sitaramaraju and Jhansi Laxmibai.
Speaking at a public meeting held at the conclusion of the `padayatra’ conducted by the party’s Visakhapatnam rural district in the agency areas where bauxite mining would be taken up, he said TDP would support the Girijans in their struggle against Government’s move to take up bauxite mining in the Visakha agency area till it scrapped the move.
Asking them to defeat the Congress in the elections, the former union minister assured that the TDP would scrap the agreements as soon as it comes to power. Yerran Naidu and other leaders strongly criticised the Congress Government and Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy for deciding to go ahead with the bauxite mining in spite of the Girijans and others strongly opposing the same.
He expressed concern that it would destroy the forests, the life of Girijans and also the people in plain area as the water sources to them would dry up or get highly polluted. He alleged that the Chief Minister did not honour the Constitutional provisions or Supreme Court judgments as he was keen to make money.
In one refinery his family had stakes while another refinery was being promoted by a Congress MP, he Naidu said. President of rural TDP unit and former Minister Bandaru Satyanarayana Murthy asserted that more resistance would be offered to stop bauxite mining. District Minister Konathala Ramakrishna was ineffective, as he could not oppose bauxite mining, he said.
