He pointed that it is not correct to privatize three of the three public sector industries left in the state post bifurcation. Kalyan noted that most of the industries have gone to Telangana after the division of the state.

He deplored the central government and said that if such issues continue BJP will lose people’s trust in the state
Kalyan suggested that the Central and state governments should stop vote bank politics. “There is neither any clarity on special status nor on Vishakapatnam Railway Zone, but the central and state governments are willing to privatize industries”. He said it is unfair on part of central government to keep lingering on people’s issues.
