Minister Accuses Opposition of Misleading Public on Steel Plant Privatization

Vizianagaram, India – November 23, 2025 – Minister for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Kondapalli Srinivas today leveled accusations against YSRCP leaders, alleging they are spreading misinformation regarding the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) situation. Speaking to the media, Srinivas emphasized that the previous Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy government had failed to take decisive action to halt the plant’s privatization.

Srinivas highlighted the ₹11,400-crore package from the Union government, an initiative spurred by the Chandrababu Naidu administration. He attributed VSP’s financial difficulties to various factors, including the absence of dedicated mines. “The YSRCP is resorting to mudslinging because they are unable to accept the success of the recent CII Summit in Visakhapatnam,” the Minister stated.

Looking ahead, Srinivas expressed strong confidence that numerous IT companies will establish operations in the North Andhra region. He projected that the implementation of investment proposals could generate around 20 lakh employment opportunities, boosting the region’s economy.
