One of the key criticisms of former Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy was his perceived reluctance to attract investments to Andhra Pradesh. Along with a slow approach to bringing in new investments, the previous government’s policy of reverse tendering further discouraged businesses from investing in the state.
However, former Cabinet Minister and close associate of Jagan, ex-MLA Roja, offered a different viewpoint. She argued that Jagan had successfully brought in more investments to the state than his predecessor, Chandrababu Naidu. After the AP delegation, led by Chandrababu and Lokesh, returned from Davos, Roja addressed the media and emphasized that Jagan had outperformed Naidu in terms of securing investments.
Roja pointed out that under Jagan’s leadership, the Andhra Pradesh government attracted investments worth ₹1.25 lakh crore during the Davos forum. Additionally, the Vizag Investors Summit saw another ₹13.5 lakh crore in Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs).
She also criticized Chandrababu and Lokesh, suggesting that their visit to Davos was a wasted effort, with no investments secured and public funds spent without returns. “Even the recent inauguration event, attended by Chandrababu and Modi, was initially conceptualized by Jagan,” she noted.
It appears that the YCP is downplaying the importance of Babu and Lokesh’s trip to Davos. Now, the responsibility falls on the NDA government to counter this narrative—not just through rhetoric, but by delivering on the promises made regarding the Google, TCS, and Cognizant deals in Amaravati and Vizag.
