The senior Congress leader called for a united movement to impede the BJP's policies.
Addressing the gathering, former Member of Parliament G V Harsha Kumar said many sacrifices had gone into establishment of Visakhapatnam steel plant. He urged people to join hands for a concerted fight against VSP's privatisation move.
Further, Harsha Kumar appealed to the politicians to put their political differences and motives aside and be prepared for any struggle to save the VSP. Trade union leaders M Rajasekhar, D Adinarayana, J Ayodhya Ram, Gandham Venkata Rao and Villa Rammohan Kumar spoke.
