Senior Congress leader and former MP V. Hanumantha Rao has said that the Visakhapanam Steel Plant, which was the result of the sacrifices of several people, should be protected at any cost. The privatisation of such a plant should not be allowed. He was speaking at the launch of a relay hunger strike, under the aegis of various trade unions, against privatisation of the steel plant at the Gandhi statue, near GVMC, here on Friday. He alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had come to power with the false promises of bringing back the black money stashed away in Swiss banks, depositing ₹15 lakh in everyone’s account and creation of two crore jobs every year. Visakhapatnam Steel Plant had achieved a turnover of ₹18,000 crore in this fiscal, without even having its own mines.
