BJP Rajya Sabha member GVL Narasimha Rao on Friday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Andhra Pradesh after a long gap of three years to unveil a 30-feet bronze statue of revolutionary freedom fighter Alluri Sitarama Raju at Bhimavaram in West Godavari district on July 4, as part of the Azadi Ka Amrut Mahotsav.
Speaking to the media here, the MP stated that the PM will address a public meeting after unveiling the statue. He exuded confidence of PM’s visit will strengthen the BJP in AP.
GVL opposed methodology adopted by the Modi government in assessing performance of states in Ease of Doing Business after AP secured first spot. “Ground reality is different in the state when compared with rank,” he criticised.
The BJP leader further said that the Centre accorded permission for construction of modern fishing harbour in Visakhapatnam at a cost of Rs 160 crore. Renovated harbour will be ready by December 2023, he added.
