Jammalamadugu to contribute amount as financial assistance to Indian Army: Adinarayana Reddy
Jammalamadugu MLA and senior BJP leader C. Adinarayana Reddy announced that an undisclosed amount as financial assistance will be contributed from his constituency to the Indian Army. Addressing the media here on Thursday, the former Minister termed the Pahalgam attack as an act of cowardice aimed at disturbing peace in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Since the abrogation of Article 370, more than three crore tourists have visited the State. The attack came as a bolt even as normalcy has returned to the State, which has started reaping the benefits of the Centre's decision on Article 370. 'A little nation with 22 crore population is no match to India having 140 crore population. We will show our military might and the power of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to that nation,' he said. On taking development to a new high, Mr. Adinarayana Reddy said that his constituency, Jammalamadugu, would rank among the top four out of the 4,123 Assembly constituencies across the nation.
