"Great news for coffee enthusiasts in the Parliament! You can now enjoy a freshly brewed cup of Araku Coffee right on the premises...This is a moment of pride for all of us, especially our tribal farmers, whose dedication and hard work have brewed Araku Coffee to the highest levels of national acclaim," said Naidu in a post on X. The Chief Minister extended his gratitude to everyone, whose efforts and dedication made this milestone of setting up the stall a reality. He also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for championing Araku Coffee in his 'Mann Ki Baat' address and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla for granting the permission for the stall.
