AP CM Chandrababu to Distribute Pensions in Konaseema District
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu is set to visit Konaseema district to participate in a pension distribution programme at Cheyeru in the Mummidivaram mandal. The Chief Minister will personally visit the homes of beneficiaries to provide pensions directly.
During his visit, CM Naidu will also engage in a face-to-face programme focusing on the adoption of gold families and employment guarantee workers. The government has a consistent schedule for distributing pensions on the first day of each month, and in light of the upcoming June 1 falling on a Sunday, pensions will be distributed a day earlier.
As part of the P4 programme, the government has identified 64,549 gold families in the district to benefit from this initiative. This efficient approach ensures that beneficiaries receive their pensions without delay, even during holiday periods.

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.
