Andhra Pradesh is emerging as a significant hub for IT and technology, driven by its spirit of innovation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday. He added that “this is the moment for Andhra to establish itself as a center for new, futuristic technologies”.

Speaking at a public meeting in Andhra Pradesh’s Visakhapatnam, PM Modi emphasized, “We must take the initiative in emerging technologies, such as green hydrogen, which is poised to be a vital sector of the future.”

During his visit, the Prime Minister led an extensive roadshow in Visakhapatnam, where he inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for projects valued at ₹2 lakh crore.

Accompanied by Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, PM Modi paraded from the Sampath Vinayak Temple to the engineering college grounds at Andhra University. Large crowds gathered to greet them, showering the leaders with flowers and waving in response as they traveled in an open vehicle.

Among the projects inaugurated, PM Modi laid the foundation for a railway zone and NTPC’s integrated green hydrogen hub in Pudimadaka, located in the Anakapalli district. He also dedicated several road and rail projects to the nation.

“Our Andhra Pradesh is a land of possibilities and opportunities. It is only when these opportunities are realized that Andhra will thrive, and India will achieve its aspiration of becoming a developed nation. Therefore, Andhra’s progress is our vision, and we are committed to serving the people of the state,” stated PM Modi.

Commending the Telugu Desam Party-led government, the Prime Minister noted, “Andhra Pradesh aims to become a 2.5-trillion-dollar economy by 2047, a vision spearheaded by Chandrababu Naidu’s ‘Swarna Andhra @ 2047’ initiative, with the NDA-led central government supporting the state government every step of the way.”

He added, “Now is the time for Andhra to become a hub of new technologies.”

PM Modi announced that Visakhapatnam would host one of the few large-scale green hydrogen production facilities globally, which is expected to generate numerous job opportunities and foster a robust manufacturing ecosystem in the state.

He mentioned the foundation stone laydown for the Bulk Drug Park in Nakkapalli, highlighting that Andhra Pradesh is one of just three states in the country where such parks are being established.

“Our government sees urbanization as an opportunity, and we aspire to make Andhra Pradesh a model for new-age urbanization. Today, we have also laid the foundation for the Krishnapatnam Industrial Area to help realize this vision,” PM Modi added.

Priyanka Gandhi reacts to Ramesh Bidhuri’s controversial cheeks remark, says ridiculous

Congress leader and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday reacted to former BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri’s controversial reference to her cheeks as ridiculous. She said that important issues should be discussed during the Delhi assembly elections instead of such irrelevant matters.

The Wayanad MP added that the BJP candidate from the Kalkaji assembly did not speak about his own cheeks. She made these remarks after attending a parliamentary panel meeting. Terming the BJP leader’s remark as ridiculous, Priyanka Gandhi said that all these remarks are irrelevant. She further mentioned that elections are taking place in Delhi, and important issues should be discussed.

Last week, BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri sparked a massive controversy for his remark in which he reportedly said that he would make the roads of the assembly seat area as smooth as Priyanka Gandhi’s cheeks. His remarks drew flak from opposition leaders, who described his comments as distasteful and sexist.

Taking to X, Congress leader Supriya Shrinate said that the BJP leader’s remarks were reflective of his ugly mindset towards women. She alleged that BJP is extremely anti-women, adding that Ramesh Bidhuri’s statement regarding Priyanka Gandhi is not only shameful but also shows his disgusting mentality towards women. But what else can be expected from a man who abused his fellow MP in the House and did not get any punishment, she continued.

Furthermore, Mahila Congress president Alka Lamba also lambasted the BJP leader and accused him of insulting women once again in his usual indecent language.

Later, former BJP MP Bidhuri expressed regret over his remarks and issued a clarification. He also defended himself saying that such remarks have been made in the past as well. He pointed out that RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, an ally of the Congress, for his similar remarks on BJP MP Hema Malini, alleging that the grand old party is now making an issue of it.

He added that he respects women and takes his words back if they have hurt someone but he thinks Congress and AAP should also introspect.

Kejriwal hits back at Ashok Gehlot, says secret cooperation between Congress, BJP for Delhi elections public now

Polling for the 70-member Delhi Assembly is scheduled for February 5, with votes to be counted on February 8.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Arvind Kejriwal responded sharply on Wednesday to Senior Congress leader and former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, who labeled AAP as the ‘vipaksh’ (Opposition) during a Congress poll event in Delhi. Kejriwal asserted that the public perceives the BJP and Congress as collaborating against AAP in the upcoming elections.

“Shri Gehlot ji, you made it clear that AAP is the opposition to Congress in Delhi, while remaining silent on the BJP. People believe that AAP stands against both Congress and BJP, with the latter two appearing to work together against us. Until now, this alliance between you has been more of a secret; today, you’ve made it public. Thank you for this clarification on behalf of the people of Delhi,” Kejriwal wrote on X.

Earlier in the day, Gehlot stated that AAP is indeed Congress’s opposition and remarked on the changing political landscape in Delhi. He expressed confidence that Congress’s campaign has improved and suggested that the results this time would be different, stating, “The chances of Congress forming the government in Delhi are increasing, and I believe this is necessary for the country as well.”

On Wednesday, Congress also unveiled its “Jeevan Raksha Yojana,” promising free health insurance coverage of up to Rs 25 lakh if elected in Delhi. Gehlot emphasized that this scheme underscores the party’s commitment to addressing the healthcare needs of Delhi residents. The party’s campaign slogan, “Hogi Har Zarurat Puri, Congress Hai Zaroori,” was prominently featured during the announcement, reflecting Congress’s pledge to ensure essential services for all.

The proposed scheme aims to provide comprehensive health coverage for families, including medical expenses related to critical illnesses, hospitalizations, and treatments.

Additionally, earlier on Wednesday, the Trinamool Congress—another key ally in the INDIA coalition—extended its support to AAP for the Delhi elections, following an endorsement from the Samajwadi Party a day prior.

Kejriwal expressed his gratitude towards the Trinamool Congress and its leader Mamata Banerjee, saying, “TMC has announced its support for AAP in the Delhi elections. I am personally grateful to Mamata Didi. Thank you, Didi. You have always supported and blessed us in both good and challenging times,” he posted on X.

Polling for the 70-member Delhi Assembly is scheduled for February 5, with votes to be counted on February 8.
