Considered all pros and cons for special package to AP: N Chandrababu Naidu

Visakhapatnam: “I agreed to the special financial package offered by the Union government after considering all the pros and cons, said Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday.

Mr Naidu participated in the Andhra University Science College Day celebrations in the varsity and answered various queries raised by the students.

“The Opposition parties have been spreading false propaganda that the new railway zone quarters would come up at Vijayawada. I’m now promising that a separate railway zone would be formed with Vizag as the headquarters and I spoke to Mr Venkaiah Naidu about the same today. There would be no injustice to Visakhapatnam on any front. People of Andhra Pradesh are the high command to me and I don’t mind the Opposition parties’ irrational comments, he said.The union government had agreed to extend the financial assistance to several projects, including the Polavaram project. The special financial package would give a new lease of life to the economy of Andhra Pradesh. Mr Venkaiah Naidu had become a soft target for the Opposition parties despite his efforts of developing AP number one state in the country,” Mr Naidu said.

He said that the universities should become a source of innovation as the society is becoming more knowledge-driven. On this occasion, Mr Naidu explained the transformation of Hyderabad as an IT hub and his technology reforms.
