Former Municipal Administration Minister and educationist Ponguru Narayana says that the numerous projects that got sanctioned and executed during his tenure between 2014 and 2019 have not reached the beneficiaries after the change of guard in 2019. He hopes that the people of the Nellore City constituency will vote him back to power so that they can reap the benefits of those projects.
In an interview with The Hindu, Mr. Narayana unveiled his ambitious plan to develop the city into ‘Smart Nellore’, not just by building physical infrastructure but also by providing employment and livelihood opportunities for the people here.
With the TIDCO houses, underground drainage system (UDS), Shadi Mahal and other infrastructure development activity that began during the TDP regime almost reaching completion, Mr. Narayana plans to take them forward if he is elected again.
