Demanding the release of a White Paper on the development of North Andhra in the last four-and-a-half years, CPI(M) State secretariat member K. Lokanadham sought to know what Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has done for the development of the region.
Addressing a media conference along with CPI(M) district secretary M. Jaggunaidu, in Visakhapatnam, on October 13, Mr. Lokanadham wondered whether the shifting of the Chief Minister to Visakhapatnam would automatically result in the development of North Andhra. The YSRCP government had announced three capitals and also that Visakhapatnam would be made the ‘executive capital’. But now, the G.O. Rt no. 2015 was released on October 11, 2023 in a hurry.
The G.O. has mentioned about the backwardness of North Andhra and that the Agency areas were all the more backward. It also noted that location of the CM’s camp office in Visakhapatnam would contribute to the overall development of the region.
