Synopsis: Andhra Pradesh stood second in the country by clocking 8.21 percent growth in GSDP in 2024–25, at constant prices with base year 2011–12. Andhra Pradesh came second after Tamil Nadu, which clocked a growth of 9.59 percent.

Hard up for finances with near-empty coffers and commitments in the form of welfare schemes staring at him, the chief minister appeared to be gasping for breath as he had to balance development with welfare and at the same time crank up the engine of the economy.
His is a job no one envies.
