Lokesh, a member of the Andhra Pradesh Assembly, has alleged that 141 pending cases over the last 148 days are delaying the launch of the state’s Mega Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) project.
In a session of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly, MLA Lokesh raised concerns about the delay in the Mega Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) initiative. He claimed that 141 pending legal cases, accumulated over the past 148 days, are obstructing the project’s progress.
The Mega DSC is intended to streamline digital transactions for businesses and government agencies across the state. Lokesh argued that the unresolved cases have created a bottleneck, preventing necessary approvals and resource allocation.
Assembly members responded with mixed reactions, with some acknowledging the administrative challenges while others called for a detailed review of the case backlog. The government has yet to issue a formal statement on the allegations.
Observers note that the delay could impact the state’s digital infrastructure rollout, potentially affecting businesses that rely on secure electronic signatures.
Lokesh’s remarks have reignited discussions on judicial efficiency and its impact on public sector projects in Andhra Pradesh.
