Earlier on Thursday, former Vice-Chancellor of Acharya Nagarjuna University V. Balamohan Das inaugurated the one crore signatures campaign opposing the privatisation of the Vizag steel plant. It was imprudent to sell the steel plant which had paid Rs.44,000 crore in the form of dividend to the Centre over the years on an investment of Rs.5,000 crore by the latter.

The rulers were misleading the people by saying that the steel plant would not go anywhere but remain in the city but it was important that the plant remained in the public sector in the interest of the country’s economy, he stated.
