Governor S. Abdul Nazeer highlights Andhra Pradesh's revitalized development and economic confidence during Republic Day celebrations in Amaravati
Andhra Pradesh Governor S. Abdul Nazeer on Monday (January 26, 2026) said the State remained without clear direction for several years, the capital project stalled, and its economic confidence shaken.
The absence of continuity eroded investor trust and weakened financial stability but, in spite of the challenges, the incumbent government has worked with quiet determination and restored stability and rebuilt confidence, he observed.
Participating as the chief guest in the Republic Day celebrations near the State Secretariat on Monday, Mr. Nazeer said Amaravati was being developed with renewed vigour, having secured financial closures for key projects including the N5 and E3 roads and the Governor’s Residence Complex.
