Steps taken to reopen Ramagundam Fertilisers

Venkaiah Naidu blames UPA with faulty policies

Hyderabad: Union Minister for Urban Development M Venkaiah Naidu on Sunday charged the previous Congress-led UPA government of ruining the Nation during its 10-year rule with faulty policies and projects. Speaking to the media persons here on Sunday, Venkaiah said the Centre will fulfill its promises made in A P Reorganisation Act for the rapid development of the two States.

He said steps would be taken to re-open Ramagundam Fertilisers plant in Telangana, besides, launching the Bhadrachalam-Vijayawada highway soon. Venkaiah, who is on a tour of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, is campaigning for the BJP’s MLC candidate for the elections. “The BJP Government at the Centre has come up with various welfare schemes for inclusive growth and will bring the poorest of the poor to the mainstream. India is on the path of development after Narendra Modi took over as PM”, he said.

He appealed to the people to extend support to the BJP in Telangana for similar growth in the days to come. The successive governments ignored the development, plight of the poor and deprived classes, he alleged. Venkaiah also alleged that several attempts have been made to disrupt the unity and integrity of the nation.

However, during Modi’s rule, prices of essential commodities have come down, he said, adding that the Union Government was giving equal priority to women in all sectors. Though, the State was separated geographically, all the Telugu people are same and are brothers, he said. He expressed concern that many people still won’t have a bank account though the nation became free six decades ago.

The Modi Government has taken an initiative to ensure that every family across the country should have a bank account through Jan Dhan Yojana, he said. The scheme evoked tremendous response from the people and more than one crore people opened their bank accounts in recent times, he remarked.
