Centre challenges TDP‑led coalition’s claim of lakhs of crores investment and jobs

Responding to a query from MP P. V. Mithun Reddy, the Union Minister reiterated that the projected investment tied to the announced projects totals approximately Rs 6,962 crore. He emphasized that the 22,167 jobs cited by the state are projected vacancies that will materialise only after the projects become operational.

The minister’s answer highlighted a stark gap between the coalition’s promotional rhetoric and the central government’s verified data. No details were shared regarding completed commercial production units or the number of people currently employed as a result of the announced schemes.
