Surrendering Chittoor Dairy to Amul company is nothing but hitting the Telugu pride, said TDP AP president K Atchennaidu, on Monday.
In an open letter to Chief Secretary, KS Jawahar Reddy, released to the media Atchen Naidu expressed concern over surrendering thousands of crores worth public properties and cooperative dairies to Amul.
He said that “Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy, who had promised to the people to revive the cooperative dairies, including the Chittoor Dairy, soon after coming to power, has changed tack after assuming power terming as barbaric the ‘surrendering’ of the Chittoor Dairy to Amul in the name of reviving it.”
He said that the State Government is betraying the dairy farmers with its decisions, and pointed out that already public property worth Rs 6,000 crores have been conceded to the Amul. Jagan has handed over the Chittoor Dairy to Amul for Rs 1 crore annual lease for 99 years and even its assets worth Rs 650 crore.
Pointing out that the neighbouring States like Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have deliberately kept aside the Amul learning about its deceptive attitude, Atchennaidu said that Jagan Mohan Reddy, however, is acting as a brand ambassador of Amul. Atchennaidu felt that the State Government should stand by the cooperative dairies and should not hand over the Chittoor Dairy to Amul to save the public property from handing over to companies of other States.
