Three key ministers from Andhra Pradesh—Nara Lokesh, P. Narayana, and Satya Kumar—are intensifying their efforts in New Delhi to secure additional funds and drive development initiatives for the state. Their proactive approach has yielded positive results, with several projects receiving formal approval from Central ministers.

During a recent visit, MAUD Minister P. Narayana successfully negotiated with HUDCO officials, resulting in a substantial sanction of approximately Rs 11,000 crore for construction works in Amaravati. Following this achievement, Narayana also met with Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and other high-ranking officials to provide updates on the ongoing construction progress in the capital.

Nara Lokesh has been actively engaging with various Union ministers, including Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Minister Jayant Chaudary, and officials from the National Skill Development Corporation. He presented an overview of the Skill Census initiative, a key component of the TDP government's promise to create 20 lakh jobs over the next five years. Lokesh urged the Central ministers to support this pilot project, emphasizing its potential for addressing employment challenges in the state.

In addition to his meetings, Lokesh provided a detailed letter outlining the specific assistance needed from the Skill Development Corporation and related ministries to achieve the ambitious job creation target.

Moreover, Lokesh met with the Indian Cellular and Electronics Association, attended by ICEA Chairman Pankaj Mahindra, and held a significant 40-minute discussion with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, expressing gratitude for the Central government’s cooperation with Andhra Pradesh.

Under the leadership of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, the TDP government remains committed to demonstrating tangible development in the state. The collaborative efforts of these ministers in securing funding and support from the Centre are pivotal to advancing their developmental agenda.
