VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu has said the special grant of Rs 15,000 crore for state capital development in the Union Budget would raise hopes of better days for Amaravati.
Speaking in the state Assembly on Tuesday, on the motion of thanks to the Governor’s address, the Chief Minister said it was not possible to present a full state budget now because of the state's financial problems. "We will take two months to introduce the full Budget,” he said.
The opposition YSRC legislators did not attend the Assembly.
Naidu noted that the state bifurcation took place 10 years ago, but the AP people who faced many difficulties can now hope to get a world-class capital city in Amaravati. The YSRC government had wasted time by proposing three capitals, he said.
The CM said India would be among the top two world powers by promoting the Viksit Bharat-2047 concept of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Naidu claimed that this development started after the preparation of his Vision 2020.
He said the three-party alliance led by the Telugu Desam got 57 per cent of the polled votes with a strike rate of 93 per cent seats in the state Assembly. “I had never in the past seen such a (favourable) result in my political career.”
Naidu said, “Behind the success of the alliance is the hard work of all. The last five years have been very difficult. Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan visited me in jail. Pawan stressed that the anti-government vote should not be split. After we made an alliance, the BJP joined hands with us.”
Naidu said, "We will work together to develop AP. The last five years were dark days. No lands and properties are left anywhere. They put a knife on the neck of landlords to grab the lands in their name. We have seen a lot of atrocities, vandalism, seizures, attacks and cases.”
“Government revenue was looted in the last five years. Looting of lakhs of crores took place in the name of sand and liquor in AP. Development was affected due to inefficient decisions. AP’s growth rate has fallen since 2019. We will repair the roads. We will introduce three more white papers in the Assembly from tomorrow," the chief minister said.
“Under Jagan Mohan Reddy's rule, all the systems were destroyed due to his inefficiency,” Naidu claimed.
On the Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy murder case, the Chief Minister said, “Viveka's murder case took many turns. The question, Who Killed Babai (Viveka), will be answered soon.”
