The Story in Brief
Andhra Pradesh IT Minister Nara Lokesh said on Independence Day that the state must create more jobs without dividing opportunities along caste, religious or regional lines. Speaking after hoisting the national flag in Vijayawada, he called for Amaravati, Visakhapatnam and Kurnool to be developed as alternatives to Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Chennai. Lokesh said the government would take sustained measures to expand employment and make Andhra Pradesh a jobs hub.
M9.news reports that Lokesh has been meeting representatives of major companies to bring investment projects to the state. The report presents his announcement as an ambitious push to attract businesses and provide stable employment for young people. No investment figures, company names or job targets were provided.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story is that one minister’s promise can turn three cities into the next Hyderabad, Bengaluru or Chennai. That is premature. Attracting firms requires reliable power, transport, skills, approvals and long-term policy, not speeches alone. The government’s record should be judged by named projects, private investment and actual jobs created in Amaravati, Visakhapatnam and Kurnool. The first useful test is whether Lokesh publishes a time-bound list of companies and employment targets.
