The chief minister handed over a memorandum containing the demands of a new agricultural university that was promised to the state, as well as substantial additional funds and subsidies from the Centre.
Praising Naidu, the Union minister said, “This man is always in a hurry… while such big projects usually take time, Chandrababu Naidu pushed ahead and conceptualized Drone City.”
Several districts have already witnessed incessant rainfall even before the cyclone’s landfall. Traffic will be suspended on roads and national highways in the Krishna and Godavari districts from 9 pm ahead of the expected landfall near Kakinada.
In a massive outreach programme, Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, and minister Nara Lokesh reached the venue in autorickshaws, travelling almost 14 km instead of their convoys. They also donned the uniform of drivers for the event.
The CM today relaunched the construction works for rebuilding Amaravati as the capital city after it remained abandoned for five years during the YSRCP regime.
A massive political row erupted after Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu claimed that animal fat was used in Tirupati prasadam, with the YSRCP accusing Naidu of indulging in "heinous allegations" for political gains, whereas the Andhra government called to maintain the sanctity of religious places.
As a result, the unfinished roads and buildings were damaged and cost escalated to an enormous amount. The credit ratings of Amaravati bonds were affected negatively. The brand image of the state suffered and the confidence of investors was shaken.
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday said that the damage inflicted on the Polavaram project during the past five years of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s rule was worse than that during the bifurcation of unified Andhra Pradesh.
The under-construction buildings of the proposed state capital were damaged under the previous YSRCP government of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy that had abandoned the project.
