Andhra Pradesh: YSRCP govt. should invest in creating assets, says T.G. Venkatesh

The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government is only spending on welfare, without investing in creation of wealth, and this would not yield any long-time return for the beneficiaries, BJP leader and former MP T.G. Venkatesh has said..

Participating in the valedictory of the ‘Praja Poru’ programme here on Sunday, he said collecting taxes and spending them on welfare schemes only does not augur well for the State.

“The State government must concentrate on improving the assets and revenue too. Only then welfare can be sustainable,” said Mr. Venkatesh, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is giving equal importance to asset creation and welfare.
