Andhra CM's comments blaming Vizag Steel workers sparks fury
Andhra CM Chandrababu Naidu has sparked outrage at Visakhapatnam Steel Plant with remarks branding workers idle and the plant a “white elephant”. Hours after management tied November salaries to stiff production targets, Naidu’s jibes were seen as insulting. Unions accuse him of betraying his 2021 anti-privatisation stance, demanding withdrawal of the circular and an end to worker vilification.
