Kia Motors, a prestigious multi-national company in Anantapur district, is facing harassment from the YCP local leaders in the past two months. Company General Manager finally lost patience and filed a police complaint against the mandal level ruling party leaders. The GM personally met and narrated to Anantapur SP about the threats.
The YCP leaders main demands are for giving jobs to their party sympathisers in Kia factory and also to hire the lorries belonging to YCP leaders. Kia managers couldn’t fulfil their demands in view of the company’s prior commitments. Being a global corporate giant, Kia management wouldn’t simply succumb to political threats. It was only after intense lobbying and super incentives ordered by Chandrababu regime that Kia came to Anantapur district.
Threats to Kia GM became a topic of discussion in the business circles. They’re wondering why the district police are acting so late. Industry-related matters are so sensitive and Andhra is already facing a crisis in this aspect.
