Ee Rojullo fame Reshma Rathore who sometime back announced that she would soon join politics and contest the upcoming general elections, started her political fight.
Reshma who hails from Yellandu of Kothagudem district and is also a law graduate visited Bayyaram forest area and inspected the iron ore. Reshma who earlier revealed that she would contest from Mahabubabad parliament constituency as the issues should be resolved at the national level, stated that she would announce her political allegiance on 14 April.
Reshma found fault with the Central Government's decision to divert the steel factory which was supposed to set up in Bayyaram to Palvoncha. “To compensate for the loss in the Palvoncha Sponge Iron Project by diverting the Bayyaram Steel Project is an injustice to the people of Yellandu and Bayyaram. The Centre had planned to link the steel plant with iron ore mines in Bailadila in Chhattisgarh, to ensure that Bayyaram would have access to up to 170 million tonnes of raw material,” she said.
Reshma pointed out saying, “All the required resources are available near Bayyaram. There is coal in Yellandu and Dolomite in Madaram. Bailadila is just 155 km away, which makes transport easier. Taking all these facts into consideration, SAIL must withdraw its proposal to establish the steel plant in Palvoncha.”
