Telangana Minister KT Rama Rao has claimed that the Centre has changed its stance on the privatisation of the Vizag Steel Plant. KTR stated that Chief Minister KCR had strongly opposed the move and that his own vocal opposition had played a role in the Centre's decision to backtrack. According to KTR, the Centre has reduced the intensity of their push for privatisation due to the strong opposition they faced. The Telangana Minister said all are equal in a democratic country. KTR has also revealed a recent announcement of Union Minister of State for Steel Faggan Singh Kulaste, who stated that the Centre will now focus on strengthening the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) instead of privatising it.
