The Minister for IT and HRD, Nara Lokesh, has lauded the achievements of the TDP-led NDA government in Andhra Pradesh for attracting significant investments totaling Rs 4 lakh crore within a short span of seven months. Stressing the significance of maintaining stable policies and governance, Lokesh emphasized the need for continuity to sustain the state's economic momentum. He highlighted the challenges faced in persuading major corporations like Google, Reliance, and TCS to invest in Andhra post the previous YSRCP regime. Lokesh expressed pride in Andhra's progress towards becoming a preferred investment hub, aiming to rival international business centers like Dubai and Singapore in efficiency. He credited the Union government for their substantial support, noting the ongoing projects such as the Amaravati capital development, Polavaram project, revival of Visakhapatnam steel plant, BPCL refinery initiative, NTPC green hydrogen project, and the planned railway line to Amaravati. Regarding the 'Red Book' strategy implemented before the assembly elections, Lokesh clarified that while it generated significant public interest and participation, it will not be utilized for vindictive purposes. He called upon the electorate to discern between the contrasting governance models and ensure continued progress by supporting the NDA in successive terms.
