Telangana’s minister for industry and commerce KT Rama Rao on Saturday alleged that Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya had hurt the people of Telangana by refusing to give Bulk Drug Park to Hyderabad. The minister took to Twitter to respond to a statement made by the Union Minister for Health, Chemicals and Fertilizers in Parliament.
KCR who is also the working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), tweeted, “By denying the Bulk Drug Park to India’s pre-eminent Life Sciences hub, you have done a great disservice to the nation. It’s a pity that for NPA government political considerations outweigh national interests,”
Coming down heavily on union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers Mansukh Mandaviya, the Minister further tweeted in Hindi: “Sri Mansukh Mandaviya ji such a big lie. You have made Telangana’s heart sad.
KTR, as the BRS leader, also criticized the union minister for uttering a lie in Parliament.
Though the written answer shows that the bulk drug park was approved for Andhra Pradesh state, the minister told Lok Sabha that the Centre approved the proposal for park in Hyderabad and Rs 1,000 cr will be given for the purpose.
Mansukh Mandaviya said that bulk drug parks were also approved for Gujarat and HP- Himachal Pradesh.
