Telangana BJP Launches Singareni Bharosa Yatra After Tadicherla-2
Party leaders described the Tadicherla-2 allotment as a significant step towards restoring the company to profit-making status and said it would boost confidence among workers. A senior party official said the action aimed to thank the prime minister and the Union minister for coal and mines for securing the allocation. The yatra was presented amid ongoing political attention to reported discrepancies in coal accounting at the company.
Media reports alleged the disappearance of four mn t of coal with an estimated value of about Rs 16 bn. The Union minister for coal and mines wrote to the state chief minister seeking an urgent inquiry into the reported irregularities and asked the state government to provide clarification. The minister said employee unions and political parties had raised concerns that coal production had been reported but was not visible in the field. The request sought a detailed probe to establish facts and provide public clarity.
The state chief minister was asked to conduct the inquiry and to report findings to ensure transparency and accountability. Party organisers said the yatra would continue while authorities examined the accounting concerns and that the allocation of Tadicherla-2 would, in their view, bring benefits to the state. The tour is due to proceed through the collieries belt as the inquiry process unfolds.
