Taking strong exception to the Centre’s decision to auction three coal blocks, he said Centre had invited fresh tenders to privatize four coal mines – Sathupalli, Koyagudem and two mines in Mandamarri, which were very important for Telangana for power generation.
Modi, who inaugurated the Ramagundam Fertilizer Factory a few months ago, had during his address tried to mislead people by saying that Singareni would not be privatized but soon after that tenders were called, which was enough to understand that every new Singareni mine would be privatized, he said.
