Paswan Announces Third Steel Processing Plant in Bihar
Patna: April 28, 2008
 Central Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) president Ram Vilas Paswan, at a press conference at Hotel Maurya in Patna on Monday, announced the setting up of a third steel processing unit in Gaya by the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) saying a survey team from New Delhi would soon visit the proposed site and the groundbreaking ceremony would take place within next two months.
Paswan had earlier made similar announcements about setting up steel processing plants in Bettiah and Mahnar.
"We are still waiting for the state government to provide necessary lands to us but if it failed to do so, the SAIL would complete the project on its own," Paswan said.
The LJP leader further said that he was interested in reviving the factories closed in Amjhaur in Rohtas district but had not heard anything from the state government in that respect.
When asked to comment on the political storm brewing within the Janata Dal (U) in the wake of the recent reshuffle of the government, Paswan chose to not speak except saying he was not interested in admitting rebel leaders into his party fold without strict scrutiny and discretion.
