Lokesh asks Jagan to apologise to steel plant workers, accuses YSRCP of conspiracy

IT and HRD Minister Nara Lokesh has alleged that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government tried to destroy the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), whereas the TDP-led coalition has a history of saving it twice.

He said in a press release that, during the YSRCP rule, an attempt was made to grab VSP’s lands in the name of building a capital in the port city.

“There is nothing wrong with consoling the victims, but having hatched a conspiracy to get rid of the steel plant, you should apologise to the workers and only then return to Bengaluru,” Mr. Lokesh said.
