Naidu reiterated that the State would become one of the top States in India by 2020. Comparing the urban population of the State with neighbouring States, the CM said that States with more urban population will have more income. “While the urban population is 35 per cent in Karnataka, Telangana, 49 per cent in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, it is only 25 per cent in the State.
We have least per capita income in south India,” he added. Naidu said that they are rewriting the history by constructing new capital on the banks of Krishna and added that construction of temporary secretariat will be complete by June 2016. Referring to Digital India, he said that the government is committed to provide fiber grid connecting all districts by July 2016.

Power consumption will decrease by 40 per cent with LED bulbs and an estimated 20,000 MW power can be saved annually,” he added.
