Centre to offer full support
Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu said the Narendra Modi-led NDA government would offer complete support for all-round development of Andhra Pradesh besides the Rs 2.25 lakh crore financial package announced recently. Listing out various measures taken by the NDA, he said Andhra Pradesh has been given top priority in housing schemes, while Rs 64,000 crore has been earmarked for building roads. Three smart cities - Visakhapatnam, Kakinada and Tirupati -- with an outlay of Rs 1,500 crore had been sanctioned in Andhra Pradesh, he said, adding the Vizag-Chennai industrial corridor would be developed with funds from Asian Development Bank.
