It is reported that Andhra Pradesh’s Telugu Desam Party has rubbished the clean chit given by a multi party team to Obulapuram Mining Company’s iron ore mine and made it clear that the party would continue an uncompromising struggle on the issue till the lease is cancelled and global tenders called.

Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu president of TDP at a press conference said That “All party legislators visit to Obulapuram has been reduced to a farce with no top ranking official on hand to clarify the doubts raised by them. They were taken like a tourist party and despite repeated requests no official document was given to the legislators.”

He said “The Government wants to browbeat the Opposition into silence. We will not budge and will fight it out. The iron ore mine is a public property and we will protect and see that the Government gets the maximum revenue out of it.”

He said that his party has collected all the evidence and is convinced that OMC resorted to looting of iron ore and was shown undue favor by Mr YS Rajasekhara Reddy chief minister of AP. He said “Let the people decide who is right and who is wrong.”
