Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu gives a very good advice to people of AP today. In fact, it is intended for AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, who often says that he build Amaravati better than Hyderabad. Venkaiah Naidu asked the people of the state not to compare Amaravati with Hyderabad or the Gannavaram airport with Shamshabad airport. He said it is not advisable to make such comparison. Instead, people should try to develop their states.

After laying foundation stone for new terminal building at Gannavaram airport today, speaking to the media he appreciated Chandrababu Naidu for inviting Telangana Chief Minister KCR to Amaravati Foundation stone laying ceremony.

He said, “Although AP and Telangana states were geographically divided, Telugu people will remain as one forever. Hence, both Chief Ministers should work together and develop both states. Central government is there to assist both states. It is not lenient towards any state. Centre is extending its full support to the AP state because it was committed in AP reorganization Act and also keeping in view of miserable situation of it due to partition.”

He said “Fortunately, we have a very nice Prime Minister and Chief Ministers at Centre and state levels. All of they are striving hard to develop the country with their sincere efforts. Centre has granted several institutions and projects to the AP state and many more projects are in tube. Even late NTR’s native village Nimmakuru will also get a huge project very soon.”

Referring to opposition parties’ dharnas and allegations, “It is very unfortunate to see some politicians and political parties in the AP state are trying to throw wrench in the development activities and making allegations to misguide the people. People will definitely teach them a good lesson, when time comes. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is very efficient and capable person. I am very much pleased to hear that industrialists are happy to come to AP state as they are very sure about Chandrababu Naidu’s efficient administration. I am sure that AP state will stand up on its feet before 2018,” said m Venkaiah Naidu.
