Hyderabad/Visakhapatnam, March 11 : Telugu film industry superstar Chiranjeevi voiced support for Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) and called on people to rise above parties and regions to save it as it is a symbol of numerous sacrifices.
“Visakha steel plant is a symbol of numerous sacrifices. Let’s rise above parties and regions. With a steely resolve, let’s save Visakha steel plant,” said Chiranjeevi late on Tuesday.
The actor-politician extended his support to the steel plant protection committee and reminded that the decades old slogan ‘Visakha Ukku Andhrula Hakku’ (Visakha steel is Andhrites right) is still reverberating in his ears.
“While studying in Narasapuram Y.N. College, we held brushes (paint) with our hands and wrote on the walls that we will achieve Vizag steel,” reminisced Chiranjeevi.
The megastar from the Mogalturu village near Narasapuram town in West Godavari district said they organised many strikes, agitations and also hunger strikes for the steel plant as college students.
According to the Prajarajyam party founder, 35 people, including a 9-year-old boy sacrificed their lives to procure the VSP.
