Ramanna Accuses Adilabad MP, MLA of Ignoring CCI Revival Demand
In a town called Adilabad, there is a cement factory that used to make building materials, but it closed down.
Now, a group called the CCI Sadhana Samiti is asking the government to open the factory again.
The group's members are so serious about this that they started a relay hunger strike, where different people take turns not eating to show how important the issue is.
A former minister named Jogu Ramanna supports their cause and is helping them.
He says the factory could be reopened if the state government gives ₹250 crore, which is a very large amount of money.
If the factory opens again, it could give jobs to hundreds of young people who really need work.
Mr. Ramanna thinks the local MP and MLA are not helping because they are talking about other matters instead of the factory.
He wants students to join a big gathering called 'Vidyarthi Garjana' on Wednesday to show support.
The people hope that with enough support, the factory will come back and bring jobs to the town.
The CCI Sadhana Samiti launched an agitation seeking revival of the closed Cement Corporation of India unit in Adilabad.
Samiti members staged a relay hunger strike on Tuesday, with youth from Yapalguda extending support.
Former BRS minister Jogu Ramanna supported the protest and alleged that MP Godam Nagesh and MLA Payal Shankar are misleading youth and sidelining the revival demand.
Ramanna said the factory could be revived with an allocation of ₹250 crore from the state government.
He called on youth to participate in the 'Vidyarthi Garjana' programme scheduled for Wednesday.
