Minister Kollu Ravindra said the state government is actively working to develop Andhra Pradesh into an international tourism hub. He stated that tourism can play a major role in strengthening the state’s economy. According to him, focused development in this sector will increase revenue and create large-scale employment for local youth.
Tourism Growth to Create Jobs for Youth
Kollu Ravindra explained that Andhra Pradesh has vast tourism potential. He pointed to its beaches, temples, heritage sites, and natural landscapes. The government plans to improve infrastructure, connectivity, and tourist facilities. These efforts aim to attract domestic and global travellers. The minister said tourism-led growth will generate jobs across districts and support small businesses.
Allegations Over Assembly Absence
The minister accused former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of avoiding the Assembly session. He alleged that Jagan fears a discussion on the adulteration of Tirupati laddus. Kollu Ravindra said the issue directly concerns public faith and cannot be ignored inside the Assembly.
Strong Stand on Tirupati Laddu Issue
Kollu Ravindra stated that the previous YSRCP government hurt the sentiments of millions of Hindus. He alleged that lapses during their rule led to the laddu adulteration controversy. The minister said the Tirupati laddu holds deep religious importance and demands the highest standards of purity.
No Leniency for Those Responsible
The minister made it clear that the present government will not spare anyone involved in the incident. He said there is no question of letting the guilty escape punishment. According to him, accountability remains a core principle of the current administration.
Focus on Growth and Cultural Integrity
Concluding his remarks, Kollu Ravindra said the government aims to balance economic growth with respect for religious traditions. He added that Andhra Pradesh will move forward by strengthening tourism while protecting public faith. The minister expressed confidence that these steps will build trust and ensure long-term development for the state.
