Seemandhra To Be Industrial Hub: Raghuveera Reddy

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president Dr. N Raghuveera Reddy on Saturday expressed confidence that the Seemandhra region will emerge as the industrial hub of the country in the next few years.

Addressing the meeting of office bearers of the PCC, and those of the district and city Congress committees of the residuary state of Andhra Pradesh at Indira Bhavan, Raghuveera Reddy said that Andhra Pradesh will develop a better capital than Hyderabad.

Stating that the bifurcation should be viewed as an opportunity to develop the region, he said that more than 100 multi-national companies have expressed a desire to invest in the Seemandhra region.

He said that massive investments will eradicate unemployment from the region, and Andhra Pradesh will emerge as one of the most developed states in the country and too, in the shortest period of time.

Raghuveera Reddy claimed that the bus yatra, undertaken in the residuary state of Andhra Pradesh by a group of Congress leaders, had been a success, and had rejuvenated the cadre at all levels.

He said that the people of the Seemandhra region have also understood the circumstances that had forced the Congress party to bifurcate the state. He expressed confidence that the Congress will come to power in Seemandhra in the ensuing general elections.

Senior leaders, including Union Minister K Chiranjeevi, former PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana, former minister Anam Ramanarayana Reddy, Rajya Sabha MP K V P Ramchandra Rao and others also addressed the meeting. (INN)
