Minister for MSME and NRI Affairs Kondapalli Srinivas on Sunday lashed out at former Minister Botcha Satyanarayana, saying he had no moral right to comment on the stagnation of development in the State. Mr. Srinivas alleged that Mr. Satyanarayana had completely neglected the development of the North Andhra region during his tenure in the governments of Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. Mr. Srinivas claimed that only Mr. Satyanarayana’s family had benefited politically during that period, with several of his relatives securing MLA posts while he was in power.
Addressing a press conference, the Minister accused YSRCP leaders of sending emails to companies urging them not to invest in Andhra Pradesh, allegedly to derail the State’s progress. He stressed that the government was committed to giving equal priority to development and welfare, citing preparations for the Stree Shaktifree bus service for women, set to roll out from August 15.
Vizianagaram MP Kalisetti Appalanaidu, who was also present, said people were pleased with the effective implementation of the “Super Six” assurances made before the 2024 general elections.
