Vice President CP Radhakrishnan said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is emerging as an economic powerhouse and the central and state governments are working effectively together for the development of the country and Andhra Pradesh.
Mr. Radhakrishnan, who attended the inaugural session of the 30th CII-2025 Partnership Summit here on Friday as chief guest, said eradication of poverty was possible only through wealth creation and that along with peace and stability was the ultimate goal of the NDA government.
He said reforms like GST rationalization and emphasis on infrastructure creation are contributing immensely to the country’s development. He insisted that the time was right to invest in the country and in AP, where Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has been working in mission mode to bring the state back on track after being hit hard by bifurcation.
The Vice President said that Mr. Naidu practiced good governance and the policies brought by his government were best in class. Investors should explore opportunities in blue economy, agriculture and food processing sector in AP, he suggested while wishing the summit a grand success.
Governor S. Abdul Nazeer said Mr. Naidu was shaping Andhra Pradesh as an “innovative, future-ready state” and was impressed by his determination to make it a prosperous state.
