Fact Sheet: Putting People Ahead!

Following a public outcry over the sanctioning of a bottling plant to Coca Cola, the Tamil Nadu government has cancelled the permission given to the beverage giant.

Even last year, the Kerala government had refused permission to Coke to set up a plant in their state.

The main apprehension of the locals was that the bottling plant would result in depletion of ground water completely.

For the sake of a few dollars invested, a few kickbacks provided and some employment provided, the water-table would have been destroyed.

Thus, both Kerala and Tamil Nadu have shown that development need not come at the expense of natural resources or the welfare of people.

Chandrababu Naidu should take a cue from them.
