Andhra Pradesh TDP State President and Gajuwaka MLA, Palla Srinivasa Rao, declared on Monday, October 13, 2025, that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s highly anticipated public meeting in Kurnool is set to be a watershed moment for the district. Organized to highlight the Centre’s groundbreaking GST 2.0 reforms, this event is expected to leave an indelible mark on Kurnool’s historical narrative.
Mr. Srinivasa Rao personally oversaw the meticulous preparations for the “GST 2.0 Maha Sabha,” accompanied by Ministers Nimmala Rama Naidu and T.G. Bharath, as well as other prominent leaders. Addressing reporters afterward, he emphasized the concerted efforts underway to ensure a seamless and comfortable experience for everyone attending the Prime Minister’s rally. He assured that all departments are working hand-in-hand, coordinating everything from traffic management and hydration stations to medical services and parking facilities, all to guarantee the event’s smooth execution.
The TDP chief lauded the GST 2.0 initiative as a monumental reform, signaling a fresh chapter in India’s economic journey under Prime Minister Modi’s visionary leadership. He elaborated that these reforms are designed to bring substantial benefits to a wide spectrum of the population, including small traders, diligent farmers, hardworking middle-class families, and dedicated homemakers. This initiative, he stressed, aims to foster inclusive and sustainable growth by significantly reducing taxation on essential goods, thereby making critical sectors like automotive, agriculture, education, and healthcare more affordable and accessible. “By empowering ordinary citizens with greater purchasing power, GST 2.0 is strategically positioned to propel steady and robust economic expansion across the nation,” he affirmed.
Recalling the vibrant energy that has characterized recent political gatherings in the Rayalaseema region, Mr. Srinivasa Rao highlighted the overwhelming success of events such as Mahanadu in Kadapa and the “Super Six, Super Hit” rally in Anantapur. He expressed confidence that the upcoming GST reforms meeting in Kurnool would resonate with the same enthusiasm, becoming an equally memorable occasion for the public.
He further affirmed that the formidable coalition, spearheaded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, and Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan, remains steadfastly committed to the holistic welfare and advancement of the populace.
Detailing the State’s ambitious development agenda, Mr. Srinivasa Rao proudly announced that Chief Minister Naidu is actively spearheading the transformation of Visakhapatnam into a premier IT hub. Simultaneously, Rayalaseema is being strategically developed as a cutting-edge Solar and Drone Hub. He revealed that global tech behemoths like Google and TCS have already demonstrated keen interest in establishing massive data centers in Visakhapatnam, representing investments amounting to hundreds of billions of rupees.
He concluded by sharing exciting news: “The Chief Minister is concurrently establishing Kurnool as a prominent Drone Hub, with numerous companies already commencing operations in the Rayalaseema region. A significant agreement for a Google Data Centre is scheduled to be finalized in Delhi on October 14, in the esteemed presence of Mr. Naidu and Minister Nara Lokesh.”
