Andhra Pradesh IT&HRD Minister Nara Lokesh has strongly condemned the filing of a series of Public Interest Litigations (PILs) by the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) against major IT park projects in the State, stating that such actions jeopardise employment opportunities for the youth.

In a social media post on Friday (December 19, 2025), Mr. Lokesh said the YSRCP moved PILs against TCS, Cognizant, Sattva and now Raheja IT parks, which have the potential to provide more than one lakh jobs, asking Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy the reason for his hatred towards youth of Andhra Pradesh and sabotaging every step.
He asserted that the repeated filing of PILs against marquee investments sends a deeply negative signal to investors and undermines Andhra Pradesh’s efforts to position itself as a leading destination for technology, innovation and high-quality employment.
