Gudivada Amarnath confident of winning Gajuwaka Assembly seat, highlights YSRCP's development works in Visakhapatnam.
Minister for Industries and IT Gudivada Amarnath, who is contesting from the Gajuwaka Assembly constituency in the general elections, to be held on May 13, has exuded confidence that he will win the seat hands down despite the TDP-BJP-JSP combine’s false propaganda against him.
“People’s participation in large numbers in my nomination rally reflects their mood, and it also shows the groundswell of public support for me,” said Mr. Amarnath while speaking to The Hindu.
Rubbishing the ‘outsider’ talk being spread by his rivals, the Minister said: “I was born and brought up in the area, and my family members have a good relationship with the people of Gajuwaka for generations. It was my grandfather Gudivada Appanna, a former MLA, who had laid the seeds for industrialisation in the area by not only giving his lands at a nominal cost for the establishment of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) but also motivating other farmers to follow suit to enable industrial growth in the area.”
On the change of the constituency, the sitting MLA of Anakapalle observed that the party chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, being a great strategist, always “makes the right decision at the right time”. Being the industrial hub, Gajuwaka is one of the key constituencies in the State and the party was keen on winning the seat. Keeping all factors in view, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy selected me. “As I am holding the industries portfolio, I am the right choice for the Gajuwaka constituency where a number of industries are located,” he opined.
When asked whether he is getting wholehearted support from the other ticket aspirants in the segment, Mr. Amarnath said: “They are very close to my family, and we are all working together for victory in the constituency.”
Nailing the TDP criticism that the city witnessed no development during the YSRCP regime, Mr. Amarnath listing out the works initiated by the YSRCP government, claimed that no other government had demonstrated such a commitment to the city’s advancement.
