The BJP Hanumakonda district president, Rao Padma, visited the prototype model of the periodical overhauling (POH) unit in Kazipet. The proposed POH unit of the Railways at Ayodhyapuram village has been delayed intentionally by the BRS government in allocating land. The project could provide employment to at least 7,000 people. The State government had acquired 150 acres and handed it over to the Railways but needs to complete the land acquisition process for another 10.17 acres. Rao Padma demanded proactive steps from Warangal West MLA and Chief Whip D Vinay Bhaskar to allocate the remaining land.
Rao Padma accused the BRS Government of closing some industries such as the tyre retreading unit of the RTC to allot their land to its leaders. This delay indicates that the State was against the establishment of POH as the credit goes to the Centre. The Centre is committed to the development of Railways in Kazipet and requires State’s support. BJP leaders Chirra Narsing Goud, Gunti Kumaraswamy, Chand Pasha, Bhagavan Upadhyaya and G Srikanth were among others present.
