Centre announced in early February that it’ll sell Visakha Steel, but employees & all political parties including ruling YSRCP have hit the streets in protest.
A round-up of the most important reports in major newspapers around the country – from TOI and HT, Express and The Hindu to The Telegraph, Mumbai Mirror and The Tribune, as well as top financial dailies.
Preliminary reports say leak of a chemical, called styrene, killed 7 people in Visakhapatnam. ThePrint tells you what this chemical is used for and how it affects the human body.
As general secretary of CPI(M), Sitaram Yechury was expected to steer the party in a fresh direction and help it reinvent itself. But he has proved to be as much a failure as his dogmatic predecessor Prakash Karat.
RUHI TEWARI
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
selling PSUs ..Is there a more shameless thing than this. It’s a big Scam !! Why can’t the government work and put the company in growth . How come some private come buy a company in loses and some how turn it into profits?? It’s a big scam!!

I use to support modi before.. but I am not an andh bhakht!! Please think sensible and support the right thing #SAVE VIZAG STEEL PLANT .
Ysr has made a deal with BJP for his own personal legal battles which hangs over him like Damocles sword. He cannot stop the sale of vizag steel. He supported BJP on all issues, he has no option now.
N.o of employee who are working in RSNL there are just keeping sign ad returning back to home and doing business ,

Any means of production has to make profit. Unprofitable ones must undergo change of management or close down. Govt has no business to run industry. It should restrict itself to making infrastructure only and encourage people to invest in business.

Visakha Steel represents Telugu pride. Hence, the state governments of Telugu majority states should be the ones incurring the losses and paying the price for upholding Telugu “pride”. The Andhra Pradesh govt and the Telangana govt must buy the plant from Centre and run it. Paying salaries of 20,000 babus and incurring thousands of crores of losses – all for the sake of Telugu pride.
The Centre must go ahead with its plan of selling off the loss making plant.
Divest the stake to employee unions, vizag municipality, and state govt of AP. Just get it off the centre’s back atleast. And since it is an issue not just of bad economics being supported because we have a brainwashed population, but also “telugu pride”, govt should move slow on this. Do the rest. Give it off to the state govt. Let them run it to profits and give them a captive mine as per present rules and laws.
Serves him right – in the Central politics, his party has been reduced to a vassel of the BJP. The only “opposition” party that voted for the Farm Bills. He may have had his CBI cases in mind. So, he has to now choose between his personal interests and public interests.

On the contrary to the author’s make believe predictions, YSRCP has swept all the gram panchayat elections in Andhra Pradesh.
