During their meeting with Union Minister of Culture and Tourism Gajendra Singh Shekhawat in Delhi, the leaders requested for financial assistance under the “Prasad” scheme and tem-ple tourism funds for the development of amenities and facilities at prominent temples, in-cluding Sri Lakshmi Ganapathi Swamy and Sri Golingeswara Kumara Subrahmanyeswara Swamy temples in Bikkavolu, as well as Sri Suryanarayana Swamy and Sri Kodanda Rama temples in Gollala Mamidada. The minister responded positively to their requests.

Highlighting the inconvenience faced by travellers due to the lack of trains between Ana-parthi and Visakhapatnam from 10:00 am to 10:25 pm daily, they brought the issue to the attention of Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. They specifically requested a halt for the Janmabhoomi Express at Anaparthi station, to which the minister assured a resolution soon.
