Vijayasai Reddy Flags North Andhra Issues

Former MP Vijayasai Reddy said the YSR Congress Party made a mistake over the capital issue and should apologise to the people of North Andhra. He alleged that both the TDP and YSRCP had failed North Andhra and said efforts would be made to protect tribal rights, strengthen their economic conditions and ensure comprehensive implementation of Section 1/70 and GO No. 3. These remarks are attributed to Vijayasai Reddy.

Vijayasai Reddy also alleged that political parties had failed to contribute adequately to Visakhapatnam’s development and raised concerns over the closure of sugar factories in North Andhra. He urged the TDP government to take steps to reopen the factories and called for implementation of the Sri Krishna Committee report. He also raised issues concerning farmers who gave land for the Raivada project and water availability.
