With Union Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, on Monday, reconfirming the Centre’s plans of disinvesting 100% from Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, protestors across Andhra Pradesh have intensified their protests. On Monday night, several groups took to the streets at Kurmannapalem and other areas to show their resentment against the remarks made by the Finance Minister. Bringing the traffic to a halt and raising slogans against the Central Government, scores of employees urged the authorities to reconsider their decision. The protests have been continuing with slogans of ‘Visakha Ukku Andhrula Hakku’ and ‘Save Steel Plant’ renting the air.
The slogan has even caught pace on social media with several citizens demanding the Centre to roll back its decision, using the hashtag ‘Visakha Ukku Andhrula Hakku’.
Privatization of PSU’s is not just Selling of Companies.its also Selling of People Trust & People’s Interests and
Selling of LAKHS of STUDENTS’ FUTURE.

వైజాగ్ స్టీల్ ప్లాంట్‌కు కేంద్ర ప్రభుత్వం యజమాని కావొచ్చు, కానీ అది తెలుగు ప్రజల కష్టం వల్లే నవరత్న PSU అంత ఎత్తుకు ఎదిగింది. ఆనాడు తెలుగు ప్రజలు తమ భూములు త్యాగం చేస్తేనే VSP ఉనికిలోకి వచ్చింది. వారి అనుమతి లేకుండా, VSPను ఎలా అమ్ముతారు? #VisakhaUkkuAndhrulaHakku
