TDP General Secretary and Former Minister Nara Lokesh has taken strong objection to the YCP government presenting AP as a poor state before the visiting diplomats of America, Germany, China and other countries. He gave a long list of reasons why Andhra is a lot better investment destination for multi-national companies from across the world. He recalled that Andhra stood in first position in the entire country in the ‘Ease of Doing Business’ for the last three consecutive years.

Lokesh asserted that the India Skills Report has given a report stating that Andhra got abundant numbers of finely skilled young persons. The state is also in second place in health index nationally. It achieved double-digit growth despite unfavourable economic conditions all over.

Lokesh said that as many as three cities in Andhra stood in the list of top rankings in Swaccha Bharat mission at the national level. He asserted that the Jagan Reddy government is hurting the interests of AP people badly by trying to avoid mention of achievements of the previous TDP regime. Lokesh told Jagan that industrialists would not put investments if he boasts of his electoral victories but he should talk about the potential of state to attract investors. He further said that everybody usually talks about plus points but Jagan spoke about negative points about the state at Diplomatic Outreach event.
