Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu shows how P4 initiative can uplift poor
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has explained the P-4 (Public, Private, People Partnership) initiative with a live example asking Margadarsi (a rich individual) to support a Bangaru Kutumbam (a poor family) during a programme in Narampet village, Atmakur mandal in SPSR Nellore district on Thursday.
Sharing her story, a poor woman Gnanamma said, 'My husband works as a daily labourer. On the days he doesn't work, we beg for food. We don't have a house. When I ask for a loan, people question how will I repay it. I want to educate my children. My husband and I are non-literates. Please help us build a house.'
The Chief Minister asked her to consider her four children as their greatest assets. He said, 'Educating them will secure your future. The government will allocate land and build a house for your family with essential facilities like water, electricity, gas, and toilet. We will deposit ₹4 lakh in a bank on the name of your four children.'
Nageswara Rao, an entreprenuer who came forward to help her as Margadarsi, said, 'When my father passed away during my childhood, my mother used to sell vegetables to educate me. I understand the struggles of the poor. Through our Saho Foundation, we adopted and educated 190 orphan children. I will take full responsibility for educating Gnanamma's four children.'
Mr. Naidu asked the rich people to provide financial support and uplift the poor in the State. Speaking about the government aid, he said, 'We are spending ₹33,000 crore annually to provide pensions to 64 lakh people. One in every 2.5 families receives a pension. In some cases, pension income exceeds family earnings. We will ensure all eligible citizens receive welfare schemes.'
'My goal is to provide housing, drinking water taps, toilets, electricity, and gas connections under the 'Super Six' welfare plan. Under Talli ki Vandanam scheme, the mothers will receive ₹15,000 for each child in a household by June. We are currently delivering 270 services through WhatsApp Governance and will increase this to 1,000,' Mr. Naidu added.

Launch outreach drive to highlight govt feats: Lokesh
Vijayawada: Unveiling the party's roadmap to connect with the masses, HRD and IT minister and national general secretary Nara Lokesh urged party leaders to spend the next month among the people, highlighting the govt's achievements over the past year. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He emphasized that party legislators must not overlook grassroots activists, crediting them as the backbone of the party's sweeping success in the last elections. Lokesh stressed the importance of bridging the gap between veteran and young leaders and called on legislators to take this message to the ground level. Addressing a party conclave at the TDP headquarters on Sunday, Lokesh said the public had given them an overwhelming 94% of the seats in the 2024 elections, largely due to the arrogance and misgovernance of the previous regime. He recalled how the YSRCP government had filed false cases against many TDP leaders during its tenure. "There was a time when, every Saturday, we didn't know whose wall they would demolish, whose house they would destroy, or who they would send to jail. The same police who salute us today once harassed us. Such measures did not help them win the elections. Their arrogance led them to defeat," he said. Lokesh cautioned party leaders to remain grounded and committed to resolving public grievances. He cited the example of tobacco farmers' issues in Ongole, which he raised with the agriculture minister and chief minister after visiting party leader Veeraiah Chowdary's family. He called for a proactive approach from legislators in addressing people's concerns and emphasized the need for constituency-level development. He said that the govt is working to fulfil every possible manner and in a strategic manner. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "Despite financial challenges, we have implemented the 'Talli ki Vandanam' and enhanced welfare pensions to the elderly people. Salaries of employees are being paid on the first of every month. We have started Anna Canteens. We are not saying we have done everything. We must go to the people and explain the development and welfare achievements of the coalition government. We are working with the goal of systematically fulfilling every promise," Lokesh said.

'There was a time when, every Saturday, we didn't know whose wall they would demolish, whose house they would destroy, or who they would send to jail.
