Andhra Pradesh, known as the job capital of India, is reportedly being labeled as a drug hub by the National General Secretary of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). During his visit to Nagalapuram in Adoni mandal of Kurnool district, Nara Lokesh interacted with school and college students who shared their grievances about the lack of scholarship opportunities and employment. Nara Lokesh criticized the Andhra Pradesh government led by Chief Minister Jagan, alleging that the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders' alleged harassment led to the flight of industrialists from the state. He assured students that within the next 10 months, the TDP would form the government and address all their concerns, including setting up IT companies on a "plug and play" basis in every constituency.
