TDP demands Jagan to own responsibility at LG Polymers gas leak tragedy and close the unit
In a sharp reaction to the criticism of YSRCP, the TDP general body said that the present government gave permission to the LG Polymers to use Styrene gas, which claimed 12 lives and a huge loss to the entire environment.
Amaravati: In a sharp reaction to the criticism of YSRCP, the TDP general body said that the present government gave permission to the LG Polymers to use Styrene gas, which claimed 12 lives and a huge loss to the entire environment. The party conducted a meeting on Tuesday through a video conference.
Asking CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and YSRCP MP V Vijayasai Reddy to own responsibility, the TDP passed a resolution demanding that LG Polymers be closed down at its present location for developing a garden park to improve the environment there in the future health interests of the local people. The gas tragedy was a human error as styrene storage tank temperature rose to 130 to 150 degrees as against the required 20 degrees.
YSRCP MLA Dharmasri's comment on many people wishing for deaths in their families to get Rs. 1 Cr compensation as per CM's announcement was highly condemnable, TDP stated.
The TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu accused Jagan Government of telling lies to the courts and shifting CM Camp Office to Visakhapatnam from May 28 in violation of court's orders. Ruling party flag colours were being applied to government buildings and premises despite the cancellation of two GOs.
On the other hand, the TDPalso opposed destroying Mangroves at Kakinada by the state government.
It criticised the government on increasing tariffs of electricity. It accused that the government increased the bills to cancel the ration cards and other welfare benefits to the poor, by showing electricity consumption as an excuse.
