AP CM Chandrababu lauds TDP activists at successful Mahanadu in Kadapa
Chandrababu Naidu, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, held a teleconference with TDP MLAs, MPs, senior party leaders, and grassroots activists on Friday. During the meeting, he commended the successful organisation of the Kadapa Mahanadu, highlighting the collaborative effort of the district leadership.
"The Kadapa Mahanadu has showcased that effective leadership can ensure the smooth execution of any programme," Naidu remarked, extending his congratulations to the leaders and activists involved. He expressed his appreciation for the ministers who, in their roles as activists, inspired others and attracted enthusiastic participation from the public.
The Chief Minister emphasised the importance of promoting the six laws from the 'My Telugu Family' initiative introduced at the Mahanadu. He asserted that the coalition government is fulfilling the trust bestowed upon it by the citizens, noting positive feedback regarding the various schemes and development programmes rolled out in the past year.
Naidu outlined the achievements of his administration and the upcoming plans to be communicated to the public. He urged leaders to engage more with the community and to consistently discuss governmental initiatives.
To reinforce this connection, Naidu shared his own practice of participating in monthly pension distribution programmes, encouraging MLAs to do the same as part of their duty to serve the impoverished.
He announced that two significant welfare schemes—the Mother's Salutation and Annadata—will be launched in June, and that women will receive free bus travel from August 15. Additionally, he revealed plans to announce a welfare calendar soon to ensure comprehensive support for all citizens.

Jagan Mohan Reddy objects to supply of ration goods through fair price shops
YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has opposed the government's decision to supply ration through the fair price (FP) shops instead of mobile dispensing units (MDU). In a post on X on Sunday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said the government's decision would create hardship to the poor. 'The government is pushing onto the road nearly 20,000 BC, SC, ST and minority people, who rely on the 9,260 MDUs introduced by the YSRCP government,' he said. The TDP had promised to pay ₹10,000 per month to the volunteers if it was voted to power. Soon after coming to power, the government withdrew their services. In the name of rationalisation, the government was acting with a vengeance against the village and ward secretariats. Village Clinics, family doctor services, and RBKs were weakened, he said. 'People are facing serious difficulties in getting government services. Due to this foolish move, their difficulties have increased further,' he alleged. Moreover, 20,000 employees who depended on these vehicles had been hit hard, he said. They were not shown any alternative, he added. In all, three lakh people, who included 2.6 lakh volunteers and those laid off in the AP Beverages Corporation and AP FibreNet, lost their jobs, he said. 'Only Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu can destroy so many families in a year of rule,' he added.

Address water woes of Rayalaseema, CPI leader tells Chief Minister Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan
CPI State secretary K. Ramakrishna criticised the government for making tall claims on the proposed Godavari-Banakacherla project, even as the people in Rayalaseema, especially those in Kurnool district, are suffering due to lack of drinking water. The government, instead of completing the pending projects, was planning to take up the Godavari-Banakacherla project, Mr. Ramakrishna said while addressing the media here on Sunday. He criticised Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for focussing only on grand-scale projects and neglecting rural water supply. Funds had not been allocated for irrigation projects in Rayalaseema in the previous year's Budget and the 'neglect' continued this year too, he alleged. Earlier, Mr. Naidu had focussed on Amaravati and Polavaram, and now the focus shifted to the Godavari–Banakacharla project, which was estimated to cost ₹82,000 crore, he said. 'While people from Rayalaseema are migrating due to water scarcity, there is no response from Mr. Naidu,' he alleged. 'Even after 75 years of Independence, villages continue to be deprived of drinking water. Neither Mr. Naidu nor Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan are paying attention to the issue. Why has Mr. Pawan Kalyan not addressed the drinking water issue in Rayalaseema?' he asked. Constituencies such as Emmiganur, Alur, Mantralayam, Adoni, and Pattikonda were facing extremely harsh conditions, where people were forced to drink muddy water from farm puddles. Among them, Aspari mandal in Alur constituency was the worst affected, Mr. Ramakrishna said.

Andhra Pradesh govt reverts to fair price shop format to supply ration, Jagan hits back
Pithapuram , The TDP-led NDA government in Andhra Pradesh on Sunday reverted to the old format of supplying rations through fair price shops and YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy slammed the administration for the move. Recently, the N Chandrababu Naidu-led government scrapped doorstep delivery of rations through Mobile Delivery Units introduced by the erstwhile YSRCP regime. "Beneficiaries can now collect rations from any fair price shop, not just the registered dealer. Home delivery is arranged for over 15 lakh senior citizens and differently-abled persons," said Civil Supplies Minister N Manohar in an official release. The initiative covers over 1 crore families statewide, allowing ration collection from any nearby fair price shop, "improving convenience and accessibility for beneficiaries across the state". The minister alleged that the previous government misused nearly ₹17,000 crore of public funds under the name of home ration delivery. Manohar asserted that about ₹385 crore worth of public funds will be saved through distribution through ration shops, with dealers being monitored using technology and a dedicated app for transparency. Rejecting the allegations, YSRCP chief Reddy, in a post on 'X', said: "Naidu has been showing a vindictive attitude towards the operators of MDU who were delivering the ration at the doorstep of the poor." He noted that before YSRCP's tenure, people allegedly suffered discrimination, poor quality rations, and had to forgo wages while waiting in queues at public distribution shops. The former chief minister further said that during his Padayatra in 2017-19, people shared their hardship in getting ration. The YSRCP government launched door delivery of quality rice to ensure transparency and eliminate longstanding malpractices across villages, he said. Scrapping MDUs has worsened public woes, risking the livelihoods of 20,000 families , he claimed. Reddy said that the MDU system helped even during calamities, and halting it would reopen the gates for malpractice and ration-related irregularities among the needy. The YSRCP chief also alleged that Naidu promised to give increments to around 33,000 Village and Ward Secretariat staff from ₹5,000 to ₹10,000, but failed. According to the government, ration shops will operate from 8 AM to Noon and 4 PM to 8 PM, including Sundays, ensuring continuous supply and easing public access to essential goods.
