Speed up construction of houses for poor
Sriram held a review meeting with officials from the Revenue, Municipal, and Housing Departments to discuss issues raised during the recent Padayatra conducted by Minister Satya Kumar and the ongoing Good Governance programmes held over the past 15 days.
The meeting was attended by DE Shankar Lal, AE Chiranjeevi, Municipal RI Shiva Kumar, TPO Alivelamma, Vijaya Bhaskar, TIDCO representative Thirumani, Rajesh, in-charge tahsildar Suresh, VRO Ravi and mandal surveyors, among others.
Sriram stated that a large number of public complaints and representations received during the outreach programmes were related to pending house site pattas and non-allotment of houses. He said it was essential to resolve all these issues swiftly and ensure that no deserving beneficiary was left out.
He also pointed out several mistakes committed during the previous YSRCP government, such as: cancellation of pattas issued by the former TDP government, failure to show land for new allotments and misuse of land allotted for the poor for real estate purposes.
He urged officials to take corrective actions and address every complaint that has come to their notice. He called for speedy completion of houses that are structurally ready up to the base level, and insisted on conducting another field-level verification to finalise an accurate list of eligible beneficiaries.

Install solar rooftop systems, people urged
Raptadu: MLA Paritala Sunitha and TDP leader Paritala Sriram have urged the people of Chennekothapalli, Ramagiri and Kanaganapalli mandals to take the lead in installing solar rooftop systems on their homes, setting an example for the rest of the state. The awareness event on the 'PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana' and solar rooftop construction was held at Nagasamudram Gate in Chennekothapalli mandal. The event was organised by the Electricity Department at the ADE office, with participation from Sriram, SE Sampath Kumar, solar company representatives, bank officials, TDP leaders and the public. A demonstration was set up to showcase how solar rooftops work, their costs, government subsidies, bank loans and the resulting benefits. Speaking on the occasion, Paritala Sriram said he was proud that the initiative was starting from the Raptadu constituency in Sri Sathya Sai district. He explained that while solar panels were once limited to agricultural projects, now every household can generate its own electricity and even sell surplus power to the government, significantly reducing electricity bills. He praised Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for encouraging such advanced technology, saying the CM not only delivers political speeches but also acts like a responsible head of the family, guiding people toward practical, beneficial solutions. MLA Paritala Sunitha emphasised that the initiative would begin in their constituency, and they were committed to leading any programme that benefits the public. She recalled how rising electricity bills once made even small lighting a concern for the poor. The PM Surya Ghar scheme addresses this by allowing rooftop solar installations, offering up to Rs 60,000 in subsidies, with full coverage for SC/ST households and an additional Rs 20,000 subsidy for BCs from the State government.

Minister Ramanaidu slams Jagan, highlights TDP's welfare and development initiatives
Tirupati: Water Resources Minister Nimmala Ramanaidu launched a sharp attack on former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy during the 'Suparipalana Tholi Adugu' programme in Tirupati on Friday. He said industrialists were demanding assurance that 'Jagan will not return' before investing in the State, reflecting a deep mistrust in the former CM's governance. Highlighting the current TDP-led alliance's achievements, Ramanaidu said, 'We are delivering both development and welfare. That's why people trust this government.' He announced that over 16,000 teacher posts were being filled in the first year and noted that the revived Rs 5 Anna Canteens were now feeding 2.5 lakh people daily. Praising Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu as a leader 'who changes destinies,' he contrasted him with Jagan, whom he accused of ruling with cruelty. 'A true leader should protect, not destroy like Jagan,' he said. The Minister further ridiculed Jagan's statements, saying, 'Whether it is heads or mangoes, he talks of crushing them all.' Referring to YSRCP leader Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy's threats, Ramanaidu alleged that YSRCP wants to return to power only to harass the public and settle personal scores. On development, he said that all major irrigation projects in Rayalaseema were associated with NTR and Chandrababu. Water will be brought to Adavipalli Reservoir via Handri-Neeva, and Neva branch canals will fill Kalyani Dam to supply drinking water to Tirupati. Additionally, 4 tmcft of water from Kandaleru will be diverted to Mallemadugu and Balaji Reservoirs. He also accused Jagan of turning prohibition into profit, recalling the Jangareddygudem tragedy where 27 died from spurious liquor. 'We don't believe in vendetta. But those who break the law will face strict action,' he concluded. TDP leaders M Sugunamma, G Narasimha Yadav, RC Munikrishna, P Sridhar Varma and others were present.

Inside Look At NDA's Seamless Coordination: How Coalition Stays On Same Page
Strategic grouping of MPs One of the NDA's key innovations has been the division of all its MPs into smaller working groups, each comprising 10-12 members. These groups are overseen by one cabinet minister, one minister of state, and one member from the BJP's organisational setup to ensure regular engagement. To reinforce the seriousness of these meetings, it has been made mandatory that at least one among Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, or JP Nadda be present in every group-level meeting. This ensures that alliance coordination isn't left to junior leaders but is backed by the top tier of government. For instance, a recent group meeting took place at the residence of JD(U) MP and union minister Ramnath Thakur, a member of the group led by finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Regular meetings during Parliament sessions Sources say each group holds at least one meeting during every Parliament session, with additional meetings for larger state blocs like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, or Maharashtra, depending on coordination needs. These sessions are used to discuss key policy positions, clarify the government's stance on current issues, and ensure a unified voice across the coalition. 'These meetings are not just about BJP strategy," a source explained. 'They also serve to address issues raised by our alliance partners and Bharatiya Janata Party MPs regarding constituency work or pending development projects, so that they don't have to constantly knock on doors." Digital coordination and real-time feedback To strengthen coordination further, dedicated WhatsApp groups have been created for each MP team. These groups are used to share ground reports, media clippings, programme updates, and internal communication. Senior ministers like Nirmala Sitharaman, Dharmendra Pradhan, and Bhupender Yadav, and key leaders from NDA allies such as TDP's Ram Mohan Naidu and JD(U)'s Lalan Singh, are actively leading these groups. NDA-wide parliamentary party meetings In a recent move inspired by suggestions from an NDA ally, the parliamentary party meetings, traditionally held only by the BJP every Tuesday during Parliament sessions, have now been expanded to include all NDA members. A senior minister from an NDA ally told CNN-News18, 'We felt the PM is not just the BJP leader but the head of the entire coalition. He should address all NDA MPs together." He added that PM Modi readily accepted the suggestion, and now these Tuesday meetings have become full-fledged NDA gatherings, giving all allies direct access to top leadership. Strength in numbers The BJP secured 240 seats on its own in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. With key allies like TDP and JD(U), along with regional partners like Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), NCP (Ajit Pawar faction), LJP (Chirag Paswan), HAM (Jitan Ram Manjhi), Jana Sena, and JD(S), the NDA's strength stands at 292 seats, giving it a comfortable majority.
