An unexpected opportunity and a surprise ministerial post can be difficult to handle — especially for someone as young and relatively inexperienced as Ram Mohan Naidu, son of Kinjarapu Yerran Naidu.
Despite being handpicked by the central government to serve as the Union Minister for Civil Aviation, questions are now being raised both within and outside the party about how well he has performed over the past ten months.
Critics argue that Ram Mohan hasn’t been proactive in addressing issues related to the aviation sector in Uttarandhra.
For instance, when reputed airlines began suspending services from Visakhapatnam to other cities, many expected the Union Minister to intervene. His lack of action has opened the door for criticism from leaders like former minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao.
While Ram Mohan frequently speaks about the rapid progress of the Bhogapuram International Airport project, people are beginning to ask — what’s the use of a grand airport if there are not enough flights?
Additionally, he is being accused of failing to secure sufficient central funds for Uttarandhra or leveraging his position to push forward key development projects in the region.
With four years still left in his term, there is hope that the young minister will rise to the occasion and prove his mettle.
