The primary focus has been decided to be on increasing global funding in all sectors such as entertainment centers, wellness, and tourism stated Reddy during Mart's inauguration.

 In the Mega event, Reddy, who also holds the Tourism and Cultural portfolios, mentions how the NDA government has successfully restored peace in some troubled northeastern areas through significant development.
