The Uttarandhra (North Andhra) region has been grossly neglected by the YSRCP government in the last five years, TDP national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said while taking part in a Praja Galam election meeting with JSP chief K. Pawan Kalyan at Nellimarla in Vizianagaram district on Wednesday.
“Apart from making empty claims of developing the State with his three-capitals concept, Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has neither taken any concrete steps to generate employment nor did he complete at least one irrigation project in the region,” Mr. Naidu said.
“It was the TDP which acquired land and laid the foundation stone for the Bhogapuram airport project, which is now bringing in investments for the region. Initially criticising the project when in the oppposition, Mr. Jagan later began claiming credit for it,” Mr. Naidu said, adding that if the NDA is voted to power, he would ensure that the airport is completed by 2025.
