Babu wakes up to opposition threats for separate state

AP CM Chandrababu Naidu seems to be alerted with the media reports about launching of separate Rayalaseema state agitations by some Congress and YSR Congress parties’ leaders soon. He visited Cuddapah and Kurnool districts on Monday and inaugurates some development works in both districts. He laid foundation stone for Urdu University in Orvakallu in Kurnool district, which is named after Abdul Haq, who strived hard for Muslims welfare. This university will be built in 125 acres of land. Chief Minister declared that he is releasing Rs.20 crore as first installment for its construction.

Chandrababu Naidu showered sops on Kurnool district. He promised to develop educational hub in Kurnool along with Visakhapatnam and Amaravati for which 900 acres of land will be allotted. He said a study circle for Muslims will be arranged in Kurnool like the study circles arranged for SC, ST and BCs. He promised to conduct Urdu DSC for Muslims from next year. Chief Minister announces Rs. 5, 000 honorarium for Imams and Rs. 3,000 for Mouzums from the current month.

He said Mining Institute will be set up at Dhone in the district. Besides these he said, Nandyal will be developed as seed capital of the state and tourism circuit will be developed in the district. Kurnool Government Hospital will be upgraded to Super Specialty Hospital very soon. He said many industries will be coming up in the district with an estimated investment of Rs.40,000 crore, which may provide employment for nearly 30, 000 people in the district. Hence an airport will be constricted in Kurnool and the city will be connected with Amaravati with 6 and 8 lanes roads. Later, he visited Gorukallu project in the district and ordered the contractors to complete the pending works before June 2016 for storing 12.5 TMCs water. He granted Rs. 30 crore for these works.

CM Chandrababu Naidu said that some opposition leaders who do not have job or do not want to develop Rayalaseema are trying to stop his government by provoking people of the region. He warned them not create hurdles in his development works or else he will not spare anyone.
