Andhra Pradesh has a brand ambassador named Chandrababu Naidu, and the country’s largest steel plants, data centers, and IT companies are coming forward to invest in that brand, said AP Education, IT, and Electronics Minister Nara Lokesh. He said that industries are flocking to his state in large numbers because of the favorable environment for industries.
He participated as a special guest in a conclave organized by ‘India Today’ on the topic of ‘Attracting Investment for the Sunrise State’ in the commercial city of Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu. On that occasion, senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai, who acted as the moderator for the gathering, introduced the young leader and praised Lokesh, who is playing a key role in the reconstruction of Andhra Pradesh.
Despite coming from a political family, he has grown with self-reliance. Lokesh said that the main goal of the TDP’s Super Six promises made in the last elections is to create 20 lakh jobs for the youth. He said that TCS will provide jobs to 25,000 people. What is wrong in allocating land to that company for just 99 paise? He explained that to attract industries, it is providing land at a lower price and better incentives than other states.
Lokesh said that the government will not only support the state in protecting the aqua market in the wake of Trump’s tariffs, but will also explore alternative markets in Russia, China and Europe. He said that he will take the challenges faced in this process as a challenge. He said that along with studying at Stanford, the youth march has taught him ways to face challenges.
He said he believes that the amendment bill proposed by the NDA government to remove Chief Ministers and Ministers who have served 30 days in jail for serious crimes is not an abuse. Lokesh said that the interests of the people of Andhra Pradesh are important to them and it is because of their commitment to them that they have been able to establish a strong place in their hearts for four decades.
He said that the Telugu Desam Party is different from other regional parties and that despite the change of generations, we will move forward together. He said that 50 percent of those who won in the assembly elections last year were first-time MLAs and 17 out of 25 ministers were new. He said that they are bringing a new generation of dedicated people into politics.
