Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan for presenting a robust Budget in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly on February 14, 2026.

In his press release, Vikram emphasized the impressive allocation of ₹13,546 crores dedicated to enhancing critical infrastructure, including roads, ports, and airports. He specifically noted the positive impact this funding would have on the Vizianagaram district, particularly with the ongoing construction of the Bhogapuram international airport, which is expected to foster regional economic growth.
