Today, Delhi: “The YSRCP government has disrupted the state’s economy. The revenue surplus grant that was supposed to come for five years has been used in three years. In this context, special assistance should be provided to Andhra Pradesh,” Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, who came to Delhi to participate in the centenary celebrations of late leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi for about an hour on Wednesday evening. On this occasion, he presented the recently unveiled Swarna Andhra Vision – 2047 to the Prime Minister and requested the Center to provide all kinds of assistance for its realization. They discussed the huge projects that will be unveiled in the state by the Prime Minister next month.
He briefed the Prime Minister about the progress made so far after the Centre announced assistance to kickstart the Polavaram and Amaravati projects in the last budget and about the work to be started on two major projects next month. He brought to the Prime Minister’s attention the loss caused to the state due to the YSRCP government diverting and stopping the implementation of 94 central government schemes. He said that 74 of them have been restarted, and therefore, he asked him to release the funds pending with the Centre for those schemes. He explained to the Prime Minister the issue of setting up an ArcelorMittal steel plant in Anakapalle district and requested him to ensure the supply of raw materials for it. He requested that the permissions of various departments be obtained quickly for the establishment of the company.
