TDP president Naidu threatened to stop transport of iron ore in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh after the committee appointed by the Supreme Court.

Naidu told a news conference Saturday that if the government failed to stop mining activity in OMC in two days, his party would stop trucks transporting iron ore.

Naidu, who is running a campaign against illegal mining, demanded that the government immediately cancel all mining leases and seize iron ore in the region.

He alleged that Chief Minister K. Rosaiah, like his Karnataka counterpart B.S. Yeddyurappa, had surrendered to the mining “mafia” and had shut his eyes to the illegal activities of the OMC.The Rosaiah government should be ashamed of itself after reading the report of the central empowered committee,Naidu said.

The committee, in its report submitted to the Supreme Court Friday, also pulled up the Andhra Pradesh government for not being impartial and recommended that all mining activity be suspended until fresh boundaries of the mining leases are carried out.

OMC is facing allegations that it is carrying out illegal mining in the lease areas of other mining companies, forest land and also indulging in illegal transport of iron ore between the two states.

The TDP chief alleged that Janardhan Reddy, through this ill-gotten money, had become a powerful “mafia” and even “bought” 50 legislators in Karnataka to stage a revolt against Yeddyurappa.

The powerful Reddy brothers hail from Andhra Pradesh’s Chittoor district but they have made Karnataka’s iron ore rich Bellary district bordering Andhra Pradesh their home.
