Governor of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana
“"One should remember the contribution of an honest taxpayer when you see an army man protecting the border while holding modern weaponry or a well‑built road leading to a village or the space expeditions of Chandrayaan or Gaganyaan. He added that the AP and Telangana region was strengthening the national exchequer and contributing to development in remote areas."”
