@HemanNamo @narendramodi @PMOIndia @MEAIndia FDI as a percentage of GDP had declined in the last 10 years. If there is so much trust, the FDI in real projects would have increased. In absolute terms, there is no significant increase either.
Maybe our embassies do hard lobbying for these awards to be conferred.

@BadBoyForU1 @RVCJ_FB I scouted for a land in Amaravati. Most of the sellers are original farmers. I did purchase eventually from a farmer.
English

@RVCJ_FB That what happened in Capital Amaravati land scam in Andhra pradesh....only one community and tdp party people bought the lands even before the announcement

@vijparmar @Indian_Analyzer President rule was upheld under more whimsical reasons. This is just an excuse. How much fencing was done in equally porous Assam state?
English

@Indian_Analyzer Don't see any logic in center begging state for securing border, why didn't they pass a law in last 11yrs to amend the constitution or declared president rule and taken control?

@AjayBhat2 @talk2anuradha None of them are strategic objectives. These could have been done remotely by respective ministers online.
English

@talk2anuradha A Prime Minister’s travel is usually tied to state responsibilities and strategic objectives, whereas the appeal to citizens may be aimed at reducing avoidable expenditure or fuel usage during a sensitive economic period.

@AjayBhat2 @talk2anuradha He was in Hyderabad and addressed a huge gathering. A minimum of 1 lakh people attended wasting not less than 1 lakh litres of oil. He inaugurated an already running hospital, oil terminal and double tracking of a railway line.

@SaffronChargers Nobody is a saint. On 2 July 1940, Subhas Chandra Bose was arrested under the Defence of India Act of 1939 for calling for a Siraj-ud-Daulah Day. For political gains, he wanted everybody to eulogise the tyrant Siraj-ud-daulah

@Abidust8 @f_AR_in_x @JaiTDP How is it water channel destruction? And what ecological disaster it is bringing. If urbanisation of an area is a disaster, so is it not all the cities doing the same
English

@f_AR_in_x Amaravati is probably the biggest water channel destruction and a prime ecological disaster. Just for the greed of a party and its favourite oligarchs from a particular community, @JaiTDP wants to impose this curse on the state of Andhra Pradesh and its exchequer. Unacceptable.

@itsvikasgupta @s_vanam @vivekpai01 @ncert I knew about this person. My father did PhD in Andhra University. He told me that Nehru was instrumental in making this person start the Nueclear Phyiscs dept in AU
English

@s_vanam @vivekpai01 @NCERT blanked Swami Jnanananda for 75 yrs because Nehruvian-Marxist textbooks glorified Mughals & composite culture while erasing Hindu saints, scientists & empires. Yogi-to-nuclear pioneer? Zero mention. Time to correct the filter.
English

Do you know who started Nuclear Physics department in #AndhraUniversity. A saint who did his tapsya for 10 years in Himalayas and was asked by his guru to go study Physics. Studied in Germany, Published wide variety of books across physics, Vedanta , Nuclear physics

@veejaysai If this is fusion, then every tollywood dance is a fusion too.

This trash passes for Bharatanatyam and clueless audiences are raving about this! 🤦🏻♂️🤮
Srinivasa Subramanian G@chiterumbu
Harini Nilakantan, with over 20 years of training and experience in various dance forms—most notably Bharatanatyam—delivered an outstanding Bharatanatyam fusion performance at the Dance Your Style West Qualifier: Las Vegas, held on March 21, 2026. She truly owned the stage, captivated the audience with her energy and grace, and secured a place among the Top 4 in the qualifiers, making India proud. Moments like these remind us how Indian women are shining across the globe in every field. Absolutely inspiring—kudos to her! 👏

Why is India not a tourism superpower ?
1. Unsafe roads, no pavements, stray animals
2. Dirt, garbage, and lack of hygiene
3. Petty corruption
4. Traffic chaos
5. Poor global branding and perception management
6. Tourism stuck in state-level red tape
7. Pollution
8. No proper city or tourist site infrastructure
9. Inconsistent service standards
10.Biggest of all- lack of civic sense
We have everything- mountains, deserts, beaches, history, spirituality. Yet Malaysia, Turkey, Singapore, Thailand and even the UAE attract more tourists each year than we do.
So the issue isn’t what we have. It’s how we manage it.
Potential is not our problem. Execution is. 🇮🇳

When global economists speak of land titling as a central challenge to India’s growth, they are validating what @ysjagan foresaw years ago.
A real statesman and visionary leader, he initiated landmark land reforms, built transparent systems, and institutionalised tamper proof land records, turning #AndhraPradesh into a reference point for future focused governance.

Adani-Embraer:
Brazil—½ India's GDP, 1/6 its people—built the world's 3rd largest commercial aircraft maker. India started HAL 30 yrs earlier. Now we're welcoming Embraer to assemble, not design, jets.
Why did we fail?

@KSKBLUES @naralokesh @Google Imported machinery, they got to pay customs duty. That comes under purview of central government.
English

@mramaraju @naralokesh @Google Nope. Gst exemptions as well. Imported machinery proves my point. No local economy. Local suppliers. Imported stuff.
English

In October 2024, my visit to Google HQ in the USA sparked a vision - bringing one of the world’s biggest tech giants to #AndhraPradesh for a game-changing investment. After a year of intense discussions and relentless effort, tomorrow we make history. @Google will sign an MOU with the Govt of Andhra Pradesh for a 1 GW project with an investment of $10 billion USD. It is a massive leap for our state’s digital future, innovation, and global standing. This is just the beginning.




English

@KSKBLUES @naralokesh @Google They require several sys admins, apart from security guards, technicians, plumbers, AC guys, electricians, etc.
These big data centers ae cities by themselves.
English

Steel, bricks and all one time activity during construction phase. That's all. After that, it's just about 200-300 jobs. Brings little economic inflow. Main revenues for government from data centers is energy revenue. Google at the minimum uses 1500 mw of power..that's a power bill of 3.60/day, 108 crore/month at 3.90 rs/unit per day with 1 rupee discount. Standard rate for energybintensive units is 4.90/unit. On top of it is electricity duty, transmission charges exemptions, subsidies. Land purchase rates discounted, stamp and registration exemptions etc etc..these are one time activities. Main revenue for government is power purchase. And, massive discounted google. Cost benefit analysis, it's a net loss..but, 88000 crore investment whichnis capital expenditure, MNC Google is headline grabbing you see. More optics than real tangible benefits to AP exonomy
English

@KSKBLUES @naralokesh @Google Independent power producers sell directly to the consumers at Rs.3.20 per unit
English

Standard rate 4.90/unit, monthly bill is 529.20 crore. At discounted 3.90, bill 421.20 crore. At 1rs/unit, AP foregoing revenue of 108.10 crores/month. Other recurring revenues like propertybtax, transmission, electricity duty etc are modest. While registration l, stamp duty, are one time revenue. Those discounted as well. AP would be better served with software ODC centers that bring thousands of jobs. A 10,000 job generating ODC center which contribute manyntimes more to the economy. 10k direct jobs, supplier indirect jobs, certain induced revenue like all these employees definitely spend locally. Ripple/spill over effects in other sectors such as real estate, housing, services, retail, hospitality, healthcare etc. modest 200 jobs brings no value at all. However, it does bring headlines like 88,000 crore investment! Largest single ever investment so and so forth.
English

@KSKBLUES @naralokesh @Google They need to buy steel, cements, bricks, paints, etc locally. They need to import servers. Central Government gets custom duty. They need to buy bandwidth. 45% of the GST on bandwidth comes to AP. The analysis is not as bad as you made out to be
English

fiscal and economic impact of Google Data Center incentives in Andhra Pradesh
The claimed ₹88,000 crore investment primarily represents capital expenditure by Google, not economic inflow to the state. The project offers negligible direct employment (~300 persons) and limited indirect benefit.
However, the State Government has extended extraordinary concessions: 22000 crore benefits as per Eenadu.
discounted power tariff for up to 15 years
Exemptions from electricity duty, power transmission for 20 yrs, cross subsidy for 20 yrs, property tax, and water charges for 10 yrs. 10% of plant,machinery costs will be refunded upto a maximum of 2129 crores.
Infrastructure support funded by public resources
Water source not clear. Data centers of size of 1gw requires millions of gallons/day. Whether potable water needed for every day use, ground water, recycled, treated, or sea not clear. If potable and ground water, cities, towns will get reduced water supply. If ground water, ground water table will seriously deplete.
These concessions result in substantial long-term revenue losses to the State, estimated at several thousand crores over 10–20 years.
The cost-benefit ratio is unfavourable, with public subsidy outweighing tangible benefit
Outcome:
Zero local manufacturing
Minimal local sourcing
No substantial skill transfer
Potentially Increased power tariffs & taxes
Water source for Google data center not clear
> Cost-to-benefit ratio is irrational.
AP pays more than it gain
