The Pulivendula Assembly constituency will witness rapid development, and Pulivendula town will be transformed into a model city in the next three years, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has said.
The Chief Minister was addressing a public meeting at Pulivendula after launching developmental works worth ₹630 crore, which included water grid, sports complex, cricket stadium, ring road, and a four-lane road.
