Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka strongly defended Singareni workers and accused BRS leaders of undermining their hard work and self-respect for political gains.
To counter criticism directed at Singareni, Bhatti Vikramarka, accompanied by Minister D. Sridhar Babu, visited the Srirampur Open Cast Mine in Mancherial district on Sunday. During the visit, the ministers conducted an open-house inspection and sought to present what they described as the facts regarding the functioning of the company.
Addressing workers and local residents, the Deputy Chief Minister said the government would not tolerate any insult to the efforts and dedication of Singareni workers. He stated that the inspection was organised to expose misinformation and distinguish facts from false claims being circulated about the public sector enterprise.
Bhatti Vikramarka alleged that BRS leaders were spreading misleading information for personal and political interests. However, he maintained that his visit was aimed at placing facts before the public rather than engaging in political rhetoric.
He said the state government had a responsibility to present accurate information and ensure that citizens were aware of the realities surrounding the organisation’s operations and performance.

Describing Singareni as a valuable asset of Telangana, he said the company’s resources, strength and achievements belonged to the people of the state. Therefore, he added, the government would remain vigilant against any efforts to misuse or exploit the organisation for political purposes.
The Deputy Chief Minister asserted that the government would resist any attempt to weaken the institution or tarnish its image. He also reiterated that Singareni would continue to function with transparency and accountability.
