Comparing to other regions in the state, Bhaskar stated that industrial growth is less in Rayalaseema region. He expressed his gratitude to the former Chief Minister N T Rama Rao for establishing Sri Padmavati Mahila Viswa Vidyalayam (SPMVV) and SVIMS Hospital in Tirupati for the benefit of Seema people.
Prof P Adinarayana Reddy (Adult Education) has criticised the past Chief Ministers of the united AP for neglecting development in Rayalaseema region for decades. He gave a call to people of Rayalaseema to fight for their region development.

“Despite the region having access to large amounts of water, it faces drought on account of insufficient irrigation infrastructure which is compounded by biased water policy which seems to favour the coastal districts of AP,” he added. Rayalaseema Adyana Samastha founder Bhuman, Rayalaseema Intellectual Forum convener M Purushotham Reddy, Vidya Parirakshna Samithi founder V Bhaskar, retired Professor Krishna Reddy, SVU students and intellectuals from the four districts took part.
