Telangana Rashtra Samithi will stage protests against allotment of iron ore mines in the Telangana region to the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), located in coastal Andhra Pradesh.
TRS will organise padayatras and other protests over allotment of the mines by Andhra Pradesh government to the Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd (RINL) enterprise, party leader N Narasimha Reddy said.
Alleging that Telengana's mineral wealth is being given away to VSP which is situated in coastal Andhra Pradesh, TRS demanded that a steel plant be set up in Telangana itself.
The ruling Congress said there was nothing wrong in allotting iron ore mines to a public sector enterprise.
