Modi described the people of Andhra Pradesh as "friendly and entrepreneurial". "Be it education, enterprise, technology or medical profession...AP people earned a special recognition across the world. This recognition was not just due to professional quality but their personality," he observed. Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said railway budgetary allocation to Andhra Pradesh has seen a quantum jump to Rs 7,032 crore this year as against just Rs 886 crore prior to 2014 in the erstwhile united state.
