TDP chief meets floor leaders

The leader of the Opposition, Telugu Desam chief N Chandrababu Naidu met the floor leaders of opposition parties in his chambers on Thursday.  The meeting was focused on the strategies to  be adopted  as the Government  refused to constitute a house  committee to probe  into the  controversial issue of  Obulapuram Mines  in the House.The Tdp on Thursday alleged large  scale irregularities in Obulapuram mining  and demanding  the constitution of a House committee to probe  into the issue of Obulapuram Mines. The mining site of Obulapuram near Rayadurgam in Anantapur district was allotted to  Obulapuram Mining Corporation.
 
Refuting the  charges made by the Chief Minister Dr. Y S rajasekhara Reddy that  the issue was only between two parties the Tdp chief said it is an issue between two states.Recalling the incident when Andhra Pradesh Lokayukta had found that the OMC, which has a mining lease in the state, had encroached upon the area belonging to Karnataka, the Tdp chief  explained  the issue.

As reported earlier, the Tdp which made a hue and cry about the mining activity in  Obulapuram forced the Government to appoint an all-party team  to visit the  site and the mining activity  there.  Except for  Tdp all other parties  gave  a clean  chit about the  mining activity there.  The problem which  still remains to be solved is  regarding the  issue of irregularities in leasing the mines.
