Centre can’t privatise SCCL without TS nod, KCR misleading staff: BJP State President

HYDERABAD: Accusing the ruling TRS of trying to run a malicious campaign on the lines of the issue of paddy procurement by claiming that the Centre was going to ‘privatise’ Singareni Collieries, BJP State president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Sunday said that since the State government was a major stakeholder, it has the final say over the future of the SCCL and not the Union government.

In a media statement, Sanjay referred to a letter received from Union Minister of Coal and Mines Pralhad Joshi in which he clarified that the State and Union governments have joint ownership of the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL).
