Tirupati: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu should immediately intervene and take up the Mannavaram project issue with the Central government to stop Prime Minister Narendra Modi shifting to Gujarat, said Srikalahasti former MLA T Chenchu Reddy.
Speaking at a round-table conference organised by Andhra Pradesh Abhivriddhi Porata Samithi (AAPS) here on Saturday on the NTPC-BHEL Power Projects Limited (NBPPL) at Mannavaram, Chenchu Reddy said that if Naidu continues his silence it would cause a great loss to Chittoor district.
The multi-crore project is essential for generating large scale employment for the benefit of unemployed in Chittoor district and to give impetus to its development, he said, adding that the Chief Minister striving to induce investors at global level should also turn his attention in retaining a big project like NBPPL.
CPI (ML) New Democracy district secretary R Harikrishna said that both Industries Minister N Amaranatha Reddy and IT Minister Nara Lokesh hailing from the district should involve in the struggle to stop the Centre shifting NBPPL Project to Gujarat.
AAPS president N Raja Reddy said that the AAPS along with other likeminded outfits would mobilise the people in Srikalahasti area for a public meeting to be held in Srikalahasti on August 28 to build up a movement against shifting the project.
