Andhra Pradesh: The Youth Labour Farmers Congress Party (YSRCP) leader V Vijayasai Reddy on Thursday informed that his party will raise the issues of privatisation of the Visakhapatnam (Vizag)  Steel Plant  and special category status for Andhra Pradesh during the monsoon session of the Parliament beginning July 19.

Speaking to a press conference on Wednesday after a meeting of the YSRCP parliamentary party at the camp office of party president and Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, Vijayasai Reddy said: "YSRCP Chief Jagan Reddy guided us on various issues to be mentioned in the house... We have been opposing the central government's decision of privatising the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant. Our Chief Minister has already written to the Prime Minister and suggested three alternatives against privatisation. We will raise the matter in the parliament."  "Many issues in Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act are yet to be resolved by the central government. We will request the Centre to accord special category status and fulfill all other promises made in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act," the Rajya Sabha MP added.

"We will request the Parliament to approve the Rayalaseema lift irrigation scheme. It is the only way to get Krishna River waters for the Rayalaseema region. Telangana is playing foul that is causing huge loss to Andhra Pradesh. We will request the Centre to notify the limits of Krishna River Management Board (KRMB)," he said.
