Naidu vows to complete Kadapa steel plant by Dec 2028

1 2 Tirupati: Chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu pledged to complete the Kadapa steel plant by December 2028, expressing confidence that not only Jammalamadugu but the entire Kadapa district will benefit once the plant becomes operational. Naidu went door-to-door distributing NTR Bharosa social security pensions to beneficiaries in Gudem Cheruvu, Jammalamadugu constituency on Friday. He visited a weaver's family and interacted with the head of the family, Alivelamma. Later, Naidu arrived at the Praja Vedika public meeting venue in an auto-rickshaw. Addressing the gathering at Praja Vedika, the CM stated that Andhra Pradesh ranks first in the country in terms of social security pension disbursements, followed by Telangana and Kerala. "The TDP-led NDA government has brought the state back on the path of development despite all challenges. The destruction left behind by the YSRCP in the state is unparalleled in the country. While it is easy to destroy good work, rebuilding is extremely difficult, but the NDA alliance in power is shouldering the responsibility to protect the state's interests," Naidu emphasided. Targeting former Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, Naidu questioned the purpose of his Nellore visit. "Your ex-MLA Nallapareddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy made objectionable remarks about Kovur TDP legislator Vemireddy Prashanti Reddy. When the entire world condemned his remarks, you went to show solidarity with him. What message are you trying to send? When a party member commits a crime, is it not the leader's duty to correct and punish him?" the CM asked. Meanwhile, Naidu participated in the Andhra Pradesh tourism investors meet held at Gandikota Fort, Jammalamadugu, on Friday. He also launched development works worth approximately Rs 85 crore at Gandikota.
