Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and its main opposition party leader Chandrababu Naidu has written a letter to the current Chief Minister of the state Y S Jaganmohan Reddy voicing his concerns about airline services being stopped from the Kadapa airport.
Urging the CM to restore services from the Kadapa airport, Naidu told the former that it was very important to do that for the development of the primary and the industrial sectors of the area and the state.
He told the CM the then TDP government headed by him had utilised the Udaan scheme and set up transportation services in the tier-2 and tier-3 cities of the state, and that it had set up direct flights to Kadapa from Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Vijayawada and Tirupati.
He said that the people of state used to face a lot of problems to go to Hyderabad and Vijayawada, and that they used to go to the two cities via Tirupati, Chennai and Bengaluru to take flights from there. His government had therefore launched the airlines services from Kadapa to help the people to save their money, he said.
The launching of the services had helped the people of the state a lot, and the services should be restored immediately, Naidu said.
