TIRUPATI:
Union tourism minister G
Kishan Reddy urged the people of Andhra Pradesh to extend support to Prime minister
Narendra Modi to fasten the comprehensive progress made by the nation on all fronts during his tenure as the Prime Minister.
Addressing an impressive public meeting held on the sidelines of his Jana Ashirwad yatra in the temple city of Tirupati on Wednesday, the Union tourism minister heaped praises on the Prime Minister and listed out the numerous development projects and premier educational institutions allotted by the Union government to the state of Andhra Pradesh post the bifurcation of the combined state.
"Today from Visakhapatnam to Kurnool to Tirupati, the centre has allotted premier educational institutions such as the IITs and the IIMs. Several industrial parks and clusters were also granted by the centre to Andhra to set the state on the path of progress. Hence it is important for the people of the state of Andhra Pradesh to strengthen the Prime Minister's leadership at this crucial juncture", he said.
Kishan Reddy questioned the people if they could imagine anyone else as a Prime Minister other than Narendra Modi who could have handled the Covid-19 pandemic any better. The Prime Minister used all the resources available to save the precious lives of the people of this country and to contain the further outbreak of the pandemic in the country, said the Union minister.
"Today the nation and its countrymen are feeling secure as the Prime Minister has dealt with national security related issues with an iron hand like never before. Several contentious issues such as cross border terror, Jammu and Kashmir etc have all been dealt with in-line with the sentiments of the people of the country", noted the Union minister.
Meanwhile, on the sidelines of his 2-day visit to the temple city, Kishan Reddy will offer prayers to Lord
Venkateswara at the Tirumala temple on Thursday morning and will take part in a few other scheduled programmes at Tirupati later in the day.
