The Hindu  

Sarma from the city has written a letter to Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, urging him to focus on the development of North Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema as well.

Therefore, since the people in other regions pay taxes to the government, it is the responsibility of the government to develop these two regions, North Coastal A.P.
