The YSR Congress Get together (YSRCP) spokesperson Putta Sivashankar has questioned the credibility of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s repeated claims of bringing large investments to Andhra Pradesh throughout his tenure from 2014 to 2019. Highlighting the dearth of tangible outcomes, Mr. Sivashankar identified that regardless of 4 visits to Davos throughout that interval, no vital industrial progress was achieved.
Addressing a press convention on Monday, he alleged that the baseless guarantees amplified by the “yellow media,” which boasted about investments from international giants equivalent to Alibaba, Airbus, and Saudi Aramco, in addition to the institution of a high-speed rail manufacturing facility and $20 billion investments from Kumiyumi Group. Moreover, tasks like Microsoft’s Hybrid Cloud, Hero Honda, and Jindal factories in Prakasam district have been closely publicised. Nonetheless, none of those firms materialised, leaving the State with out the promised advantages, Mr. Sivashankar alleged.
In distinction, former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s silent and focussed strategy has delivered measurable outcomes. With out pointless media hype, Mr. Jagan’s go to to Davos resulted in agreements just like the Adani Group’s Inexperienced Power plant and Greenko’s mission close to Orvakal, each of that are progressing quickly. Underneath his management, investments price ₹1.26 lakh crores have been secured, a lot of which have already begun manufacturing. Even JSP president Pawan Kalyan has acknowledged these achievements, Mr. Sivashankar added.
