Minister Mekapati Goutham clarifies on the Reliance and Adani groups exit from Andhra Pradesh

According to reports, Reliance and Adani are withdrawing their investments and moving to other states from Andhra Pradesh. AP BJP Incharge Sunil Deodhara also tweeted about this. However, state industries, commerce and IT minister Mekapati Gautam Reddy condemned the campaign as entirely untrue. He said there are several approaches to giving land to industries.

Reliance Group has said that the previous government had allocated the controversial land to the Reliance Group to invest in Reliance Company AP. Minister Gautam Reddy made it clear that this government was trying to provide alternative lands through the APIIC.

Reliance has been unable to use the land as 15 farmers have filed cases in the 136 acres of land previously allocated to them, he said. The minister said that efforts were being made to allocate land in this regard to the issue. The minister said that the govt is already discussing the same with the representatives of Reliance
