- Initiated Mulapeta Port construction, established medical colleges, and a kidney research center.
- Successfully acquired 2,002 acres of land for Bhogapuram Airport, completed fencing, and initiated rehabilitation projects.
- Attracted IT companies like Infosys and TCS, providing significant employment opportunities.

Gudivada Amarnath’s Statements:
“TDP’s attempt to claim credit for the projects secured by YSRCP is disgraceful. All these initiatives were achieved during our tenure. If Lokesh has the courage, let him refute these facts.”
“It’s disheartening to see TDP leaders, who neglected North Andhra for years, now making baseless accusations. The YSRCP government has been committed to the holistic development of the region, and we will continue to showcase our achievements to the people.”
