Kadapa: Union Minister of State for Rural Development Dr Pemmasani Chandrasekhar said Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has taken steps to set up two industrial parks at a cost of Rs 5,000 crore in Rayalaseema region. Addressing TDP Mahanadu meeting in Kadapa on Wednesday, he said the CM has taken steps to get Rs 50,000 crore worth Central government projects in the next five years in the State besides constructing the State capital Amaravati in a big way. He recalled that the Centre allotted Rs 9,000 crore to AP in the railway budget during the current financial year. The Union Minister said, 'The aim of CM Naidu is to develop the State for future generations. At present, the government is developing roads at a cost of Rs 20,000 crore in all the Assembly constituencies across the State.' He criticised that the previous YSRCP government had failed to utilise Central schemes for State development and cheated the people. The coalition government gave a new lease to the people, he added. He said petrochemical complex will be set up in state with Rs 95,000 crore and it will give big boost for the development of the State. Dr Pemmasani said, the aim of the meeting is to develop the State and render better services to the people.

GUNTUR: Union Minister of State for Rural Development and Communications Dr Pemmasani Chandrasekhar, along with Tadikonda MLA Tenali Shravan Kumar, on Sunday laid the foundation stone for a Backward Classes (BC) Community Hall in Ravela village. On the occasion, the Union Minister said, 'This facility will serve people from BC, SC, ST, and minority communities,' urging villagers to form a sub-committee to manage and maintain the hall responsibly. He credited philanthropists Sudhanagunta Raghavendra Prasad and Kalyani Prasad, a couple from Prakasam district, for donating Rs 4 crore towards the project. Pemmasani said the community hall was a long-pending aspiration of Ravela residents and highlighted that it would feature modern amenities, including attached toilets. 'This is one of three such halls being provided for the Tadikonda constituency,' the Union Minister added. He also criticised former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for failing to deliver on development. 'In five years, Jagan did nothing except press buttons. Development means building roads, providing clean drinking water, and improving infrastructure. Not misleading people,' he asserted. He hailed Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for persistently lobbying in Delhi to secure funds for the State. He expressed confidence that the coalition government would deliver transformative growth over the next 10 to 15 years.

CRDA to begin final phase of IRR in Guntur
Guntur: The Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) is set to launch the third phase of Inner Ring Road (IRR) construction in Guntur city at an estimated cost of 50 crore. With the Guntur Municipal Corporation (GMC) clearing encroachments along the 4.5-km stretch, CRDA is now preparing to invite tenders for the road development. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The final phase of IRR, stalled for nearly 20 years, aims to ease traffic congestion by allowing heavy vehicles from Palnadu district to access National Highway-65 without entering the city. Initially conceptualized in 2005 by the Vijayawada-Guntur-Tenali-Mangalagiri Urban Development Authority (VGTM UDA) — CRDA's predecessor — the IRR was designed to connect Perecharla (western Guntur) with NH-65 (eastern Guntur near Autonagar) through an 11-km four-lane highway. Due to land acquisition challenges, the project was executed in phases, with only 7 km completed over the past two decades. Despite multiple government transitions, the final phase remained incomplete. Following the TDP-led NDA assuming power, Union minister Pemmasani Chandrasekhar took the initiative to push CRDA authorities to complete the IRR, addressing Guntur's growing traffic woes. Dr. Pemmasani also secured four Railway Over Bridge (ROB) projects, including one linked to the IRR, from the Union highways and road transport ministry. With the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) now preparing to begin ROB work, CRDA is keen to accelerate the final phase of IRR development. "We have cleared encroachments and distributed TDR bonds to affected property owners. The road markings are complete, and now it's over to CRDA to proceed with development," said GMC commissioner Puli Srinivasulu.
