This is a shocking update from YouTuber Nikita Thakur. We're familiar with KIA Motors in Anantapur, touted as the vision of former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu.
It was claimed that the factory would provide employment not only within but also in surrounding hotels and restaurants. Massive tax exemptions were granted to KIA, causing a state loss of Rs 20,000 Cr.
The YouTube channel exposed the reality through a sting operation in Korean-owned restaurants around KIA Motors of Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh, which are exclusively for Korean employees and dignitaries, denying entry to Indians.
Establishing a hotel and restaurant business in India with a 'No Entry' policy for Indians is shocking. When questioned, they claim this has been the norm since KIA started.
It's surprising that neither Chandrababu's nor Jagan Mohan Reddy's government has taken action. This discrimination and racism are condemnable and unacceptable.
A restaurant manager of this region admitted that the establishment is not open to Indians but evaded explaining the reason.
Furthermore, the revelation that workers in these Korean restaurants are from Nepal, not India, was exposed by the same channel's sting operation. This raises concerns about employment for locals with foreign investments, as these businesses neither pay taxes nor provide jobs for locals.
Additionally, it appears that South Korean individuals govern their restaurant and hotel businesses in Anantapur with authority similar to the dictator of North Korea.
