Minister Botsa Satyanarayana rebuked Union Minister Piyush Goyal’s statements regarding the railway zone, citing the state government’s provision of land for the Visakhapatnam railway zone. Speaking at a press conference in Visakhapatnam, Botsa Satyanarayana highlighted that 52 acres of land had been identified and transferred to the railways. He held the central government accountable for the delay in establishing the railway zone, denouncing attempts to mislead the public with falsehoods.
Botsa Satyanarayana further asserted that evidence presented at the press conference substantiates their claims. Condemning Goyal’s remarks attributing the delay to non-allotment of land, Satyanarayana criticized the senior leader for misleading statements, emphasizing that the land had been allocated to the railways previously. Additionally, he criticized former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for accepting a package instead of pursuing special status for the state.
