State made rapid stridesin last 6 months: Pawan

Since taking charge in Andhra Pradesh, the NDA coalition government has made significant strides in development. The Central government has already approved several key projects, including the construction of Amaravati, the Polavaram project, and industrial zones. With the leadership of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, the State is witnessing lakhs of crores of rupees in investments.
Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation for projects worth Rs 2.08 lakh crores in Visakhapatnam. At the same time, tenders have been invited for various works related to the construction of Amaravati, and the Polavaram project is also gaining momentum. In stark contrast, development in Andhra Pradesh remained stagnant during the five years of YSRCP rule, with little progress in key sectors.
Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, however, pointed out that in just six months under CM Chandrababu Naidu’s leadership, the state government has achieved several significant milestones. He claimed that the progress made in this short period has already surpassed the achievements of the YSRCP government during its five-year rule. Pawan Kalyan took to the social media platform X to share comparisons of the development under both regimes.
Pawan Kalyan highlighted that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Naidu, the NDA government has surpassed previous milestones. For example, during the five years of the YSRCP rule, only 1,800 km of cement concrete (CC) roads were constructed under the Panchayati Raj Department.
In contrast, the NDA government has constructed 3,750 km of CC roads in just six months. While only 268 mini Gokulams were established under the YSRCP, the current government has built 22,500 mini Gokulams in the same timeframe. Moreover, while YSRCP allocated `91 crore for housing for Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG), the NDA government has earmarked `750 crore for the same in just six months.
