Why ruling party MPs didn’t raise issue in Parliament, asks JSP chief during sit-in at Mangalagiri
Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan on Sunday slammed the ‘indifferent attitude’ of the YSRCP towards the proposal to privatise the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant and reiterated his demand that the YSRCP government and the 22 party MPs take the fight against the privatisation to the Centre.
Mr. Pawan Kalyan, who staged a sit-in at Mangalagiri near here against the VSP stake sale, said his party would fight for the people whether it is in power or not.
“People remember our party when they are in difficulties, and I hope they will remember Jana Sena Party during the next elections. I draw inspiration from those who worked for people without seeking any favour. I am fighting for Visakha Steel Plant even though I lost in Gajuwaka or even in North Coastal districts. The YSRCP is demanding that I should fight against the BJP, and they do not even have common sense. The YSRCP has promised to the people of Visakhapatnam that they will oppose privatisation of VSP during the local body elections and now, they have backtracked. The 22 party MPs never raised the VSP issue during the winter session of Parliament,” said Mr. Pawan Kalyan.
