His enthusiasm in resolving the pending issues and starting development activities in his constituency to make a long lasting impact in the hearts of people have started yielding results.

He has been touring the entire constituency very frequently and resolving public grievances. Soon after he was elected as the Member of Parliament, Gurumoorthy, focused his attention on the pending Mannavaram project which has become a major political slogan for all parties and succeeded in finding a solution. He initiated the action for bringing Mannavaram mega electronic equipment manufacturing cluster on the lines of SEZ model.

On the occasion of the completion of one year in office on Tuesday, the MP said that he has laid special focus on industrial growth of this region and raised many questions in the Parliament.
