In a recent address, BJP MLA Dr. Parthasarathi delivered a powerful speech that sets a clear vision for industrial growth in Andhra Pradesh. His message highlight a profound shift in thinking: that industries are not merely for business, but great tools for giving jobs (as reflected in the video’s title).
The speech provides context following the major announcement of new developments. Dr. Parthasarthi notes that the Honorable Chief Minister, Sri Nara Chandrababu Naidu, has been laying foundation stones for several projects across the state, starting from Kanigiri.
The core of Dr. Parthasarthi’s announcement revolves around the NDA government’s philosophy regarding these projects and the industrial sector:
The Focus on Job Creation
The state government is committed to encouraging industrialists who are ready to invest. However, the ultimate aspiration of the Chief Minister is that these industries must serve as a mechanism for creating vast employment opportunities, not solely focusing on commercial profits.
He challenges the audience to look beyond the simple act of establishing a factory or a hotel, and instead focus on:
- How many jobs are being created!
- How many futures are being built!
Incentives for Growth
To drive this vision, the government is providing substantial support and incentives to new and incoming industrial ventures:
- Land & Registration: Providing land at a lower price and reducing registration costs.
- Tax Benefits: Offering GST tax refunds over a period of years to ensure new businesses can thrive.
A Vision of Entrepreneurship
Dr. Parthasarthi contrasts this new approach with previous government policies, where the primary promise was simply to give people jobs, expecting them to live as employees. He highlights that the new dream, as articulated by CM Nara Chandrababu Naidu, is more ambitious: to create an entrepreneur in every household.
