Earlier, the Coal and Mines Minister announced that the Centre has allotted the Tadicherla-2 coal block to the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL).
Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Friday condemned what he described as the false propaganda being spread by opposition leaders against Singareni Collieries, asserting that the enterprise and its resources belong to the people of the state.
Addressing the media, Bhatti Vikramarka questioned the opposition's track record during their ten years in power. "During your ten years in power, did you secure even a single new coal block for Singareni? Did you at least obtain new mining blocks to replace those that had been exhausted and closed?" he asked.
He further criticised the previous BRS government, stating that while it significantly expanded the Bhadradri and Yadadri Thermal Power Projects, it failed to secure the coal mines required to supply them. He questioned why the government did not participate in the Centre's coal block auctions to acquire mines for Singareni, noting that had they done so, the royalty revenue would have belonged to Telangana.
