: All efforts will be taken to stop any move to privatise Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said on Wednesday.
Speaking to newspersons after his return from a two-day trip from New Delhi here on Wednesday, Naidu said there should be a search for alternatives for tiding over the losses of the plant. The previous YSR Congress Party Government in the state led by Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy never opposed the proposal to privatise VSP during 2019-24 and now had `no moral right’ to criticise the NDA Government in the State on the issue, he added.
