BJP criticises KCR for opposing Uranium mining

BJP feels a hurried resolution passed by CM KCR in Telangana state assembly against any future Uranium mining in the state, is a hasty decision taken with neither progressive vision nor with full knowledge of the need & consequences of Uranium mining.

Generally, state assemblies move resolutions seeking something positive for its state or people. There was neither a need nor a substantive and reasonable demand for a resolution against the mining of Uranium in the state.

If the state government has any objection with already issued permissions, it could very well deal with the Central government through its administrative channels.

Passing an assembly resolution without any substantial debate, using brute majority in the house is purely a political overture by CM KCR against the Central Government.

The hypocrisy & duplicity of KCR government is once against exposed with this resolution. KCR government has been an environmentally insensitive & reckless government throughout its last 6 years of governance.

Whether it's in the case of trying to undermine the lung space of Hyderabad through marginalizing KBR park, or looking the other way on mammoth destruction of historic rock formations, or brazenly promoting encroachments into historic tanks and water bodies across the city and state, KCR government has been constantly at the forefront of environmental onslaught.

It's about time CM KCR put an end to these unwarranted and inconsequential dramas using the state assembly.

KCR has to also understand Central Government has overbearing administrative powers on mines and minerals across the nation, and state governments have limited powers in reference to valuable national resources such as Uranium mines.
