The YSRCP has labelled Andhra Pradesh's investment summits a costly exercise in self-promotion. Party leader Gudivada Amarnath says only 1-2% of the ₹23 lakh crore in investment and 40 lakh jobs announced between 2014 and 2019 actually materialised.
He noted that the current summit is promising another ₹12 lakh crore, following the MoUs signed at the November 2025 event, and wants proof of how many of those agreements were carried out and how many jobs resulted.
