Telangana BJP Launches Singareni Bharosa Yatra
Ramchander Rao said the allocation would strengthen SCCL and support its long-term financial growth
Hyderabad: Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President N Ramchander Rao on Monday said the party, in association with the Union Ministry of Coal and Mines, has launched the 'Singareni Bharosa Yatra' to highlight the Centre's allocation of the Tadicherla-2 coal block to the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL).
Speaking to ANI, Rao said the allocation would strengthen SCCL and support its long-term financial growth. "The Telangana BJP, along with the Union Ministry for Coal and Mines are taking out Singareni Bharosa Yatra, wherein the Singareni collieries have recently been allotted the Tadicherla-2 block.
This is a big leap towards the profit-making unit of Singareni. Today we are visiting all the areas which are covered under the Singareni Collieries belt, and we are going to meet the employees there, and we are going to thank the Prime Minister," he said.
BJP MP DK Aruna also welcomed the Centre's decision, saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Coal and Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy had boosted the confidence of Singareni workers through the allocation.
"Prime Minister Modi and Coal Minister Kishan Reddy have instilled confidence in Singareni workers by allotting the Tadicherla coal mine to Singareni. This decision not only reassures the workers but will also bring immense benefits to Telangana," she said.
The BJP leaders' remarks come amid reports alleging the disappearance of nearly 40 lakh tonnes of coal, valued at around Rs 1,600 crore, from SCCL.
