Minister Sidiri Appalaraju recently participated in a unique challenge, posing for a selfie with Chief Minister Jagan's face mask in front of the upcoming Kidney Research Center in Palasa. During the event, the Minister also extended a challenge to TDP State President Atchennaidu for a discussion on the development of North Andhra. He confidently stated that he could back his claims with the precise costs specified by the YSRCP government for the region's development. The exchange of words between the YSRCP and TDP regarding North Andhra's development has continued to escalate, particularly in the ports and harbour centers. The intensity has increased ever since CM Jagan laid the foundation stone for the Moolapeta Greenfield Port.
