New Delhi, TDP MP Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu on Monday asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha to extend a helping hand for the reconstruction of Andhra Pradesh.
Speaking during the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President's speech, the leader of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), a member of the ruling National Democratic Alliance, highlighted the need to set new objectives in the new government and give a push to improve the rural infrastructure, education, healthcare and digital facilities.
"Now that the elections are over, I want to request the prime minister and other cabinet ministers to extend their help towards the reconstruction of Andhra Pradesh," he said.
"There are two issues: the first is the revenue shortfall that AP is facing, the finance minister should release it. The second is the debt that we are facing to the tune of Rs 13.5 lakh crore. I want the ministers sitting here to really address these issues," Devarayalu added.
The TDP MP also emphasized the need for continued progress and new goals to address various problems in India, particularly in its rural areas.
Devarayalu highlighted the importance of setting new targets to improve rural infrastructure.
"NDA will not sit on these achievements; we need new targets for ourselves and we need to give more impetus to rural infrastructure. We need to invest in rural education, rural healthcare and rural digital infrastructure," he said.
He also highlighted the need to double farmers' income rather than just contemplating it.
"We need to tackle unemployment and create more jobs for youth. We also need to do more in the manufacturing sector. The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme is a good start, but we must remember that our MSMEs are working with one of the higher interest rates, difficult labor laws and some of the most expensive logistics in the world," Devarayalu added.
The parliamentarian urged collaborative efforts to devise solutions to these challenges.
He called on the government to address these issues to build a strong and prosperous India, stating, "The government needs to address these issues to build a strong 'Viksit Bharat'." TDP supports you in this effort. The people of Andhra want to work with you.”
A Raja, who was presiding over the session, highlighted Devarayalu's position within the NDA, suggesting that the TDP MP could take up these issues directly with ministers.
