••Chandrababu brand image brings industries to AP
K Varaprasada Rao
Mangalagiri: April 22: Nara Lokesh, TDP national general secretary, has leveled serious allegations against the families of Alla Ramakrishna Reddy and Murugudu Hanumantha Rao, accusing them of neglecting the development of the Mangalagiri assembly constituency over the past 25 years.
Lokesh highlighted the absence of any significant industrial progress in the area despite the YSRCP being in power for the last five years. Chandrababu Naidu’s brand image would bring industries as it is a unique advantage for Andhra Pradesh, he said.
During an interaction with residents of Kaja village as part of his election campaign on Monday, Lokesh asserted that he has actively worked towards the advancement of the Mangalagiri constituency.
He cited the establishment of a BPO company providing 150 jobs and various other development initiatives funded personally by him, despite his defeat in the previous elections from Mangalagiri.
“I have undertaken 29 welfare programmes over the years in Mangalagiri, focusing extensively on constituency development. What have Murugudu Hanumantha Rao and Alla Ramakrishna Reddy done for this constituency in their 25-year tenure?” Lokesh questioned.
Lokesh outlined his vision for Mangalagiri’s development, proposing a ‘Block Development Model’ that includes providing Krishna River water as drinking water to every household, implementing an underground drainage system, establishing hospitals, and developing playgrounds if elected in the ongoing elections. He further pledged efforts to establish a gold hub in Mangalagiri, aiming to create 30,000 job opportunities for local residents.
