Trade unions stage rasta roko near GVMC office

They criticise BJP MLC for supporting the strategic sale of steel plant

Representatives of the all party trade unions and people’s organisations Joint Action Committee (JAC) staged a rasta roko on the Main Road near the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) office here on Friday criticising the statements of BJP MLC P.V.N. Madhav supporting the decision of the Union government on the strategic sale of the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP). JAC chairman M. Jaggu Naidu alleged that Mr. Madhav, who was elected by the graduates of North Andhra, was cheating the people with such statements and demanded his immediate resignation as an MLC. His statements were making a mockery of the agitation being organised by steel workers, trade unions and people’s organisation for the last six months, Mr. Jaggu Naidu said. He demanded that the MLC take back his statements and seek an apology from people.
