During the meeting, Nara Lokesh also highlighted the setbacks Andhra Pradesh faced between 2019 and 2024.
He alleged that the state’s development, particularly the progress of Amaravati as its capital, was intentionally obstructed due to a ‘personal vendetta’ against then Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu.
This claim underscores the political challenges the state has experienced in recent years.
The discussions with PM Modi reflect Andhra Pradesh’s eagerness to contribute to India’s broader development agenda.
Lokesh emphasised the importance of collaboration between the state and the central government to achieve sustainable growth and prosperity, positioning Andhra Pradesh as a key player in realising the ‘Viksit Bharat’ vision.
The visit by Nara Lokesh, accompanied by his family, to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi symbolises Andhra Pradesh’s renewed focus on development aligned with national priorities.
Praising the PM’s leadership and seeking guidance for future initiatives, the delegation reaffirmed their commitment to advancing the state’s progress within the framework of India’s vision for 2047.
