Andhra farmers to receive Rs 7,000 as first instalment today
During a teleconference with ministers, MPs, MLAs, parliamentary constituency presidents, zonal coordinators, Rythu Sangham leaders, and grassroots workers, Naidu said the TDP's legacy is rooted in farmers' welfare, noting, 'The plough is on our flag'.
He reaffirmed the coalition government's commitment to farmers, stating that the Annadata Sukhibhava scheme is being implemented as promised in the election manifesto. Similarly, the State government is also providing agricultural machinery and adequate water for irrigation, he added.
'Our responsibility is to deliver good governance and communicate these efforts to the people,' Naidu said, urging the party cadre to counter misinformation and 'conspiracies' allegedly being spread by the YSRCP. He slammed the previous YSRCP government for failing to pay crop insurance premiums and mismanaging public funds.

Man dies by suicide in Kolkata, family claims he was living in fear of NRC
Kolkata: A 63-year-old man was found hanging in his residence in Kolkata on Sunday morning, with his family claiming that he had been living in fear that he would be sent to Bangladesh if the National Register of Citizens (NRC) was implemented. The victim worked as a non-teaching staff member at a private school in Dhakuria in south Kolkata.(For representation/PTI) Initial probe revealed that the deceased, Dilip Kumar Saha, had arrived in Kolkata in 1972 from Nawabganj in Dhaka and had been living in Anandapally West in the Regent Park area, a police officer said. Saha worked as a non-teaching staff member at a private school in Dhakuria in south Kolkata. "This morning, his wife called him several times, but received no response from inside his locked room. She then called their niece-in-law from a neighbouring house. They broke open the door to find him hanging from the ceiling fan," the officer said. The deceased's wife Arati Saha said her husband had been worried that he would be deported to Bangladesh after implementation of the NRC. "He has been under severe stress for quite some time regarding this. There was no other tension. He came to Kolkata in his childhood. He was afraid that he would be sent to a detention camp and then pushed back to Bangladesh, where he had nobody. He had valid voter ID card and other documents," she said. It is suspected that this fear led him to take his own life, the police officer said, adding that a suicide note has been recovered from the room. The matter is being investigated, the officer said. Power Minister and local Trinamool Congress MLA Arup Biswas reached the place and spoke to the family members. "This is what the fear of being thrown out of the country could do to a man. What they (Centre) have started in the name of the SIR shows their anti-people attitude, and the result is in front of you," Biswas said.

Naidu urges Gadkari to give speedy clearance to Vizag and Vijayawada metro rail projects
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has requested Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari to give speedy clearance to the Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada metro rail projects, while promising to do what all is required from the State for the smooth implementation of the highway projects. The State government would ensure that land acquisition issues did not hamper the road projects that were crucial for development, Mr. Naidu told Mr. Gadkari, while thanking him for sanctioning eight road projects, including a greenfield highway between Hyderabad and Vijayawada, the total cost of which was about ₹27,000 crore. Addressing a meeting where Mr. Gadkari virtually laid foundation for 27 road projects and inaugurated two projects on Saturday, Mr. Naidu said he was happy that the Union Minister agreed to recommend the sanction of an Outer Ring Road (ORR) around Amaravati. He suggested that a bullet train linking Amaravati with Hyderabad, Chennai and Bengaluru would connect the huge population in those States. Mr. Naidu said road projects costing more than ₹70,000 crore were in various stages of execution in Andhra Pradesh, and emphasis had been laid on the construction of sea and airports in order to provide the best logistics facilities. Mr. Naidu said he was impressed by Mr. Gadkari's dynamism in giving tangible shape to the highway projects that involved huge investments, and expressed confidence that under his leadership, the length of the national highways being built in a day would reach 50 km from the present 37 km. The Chief Minister said that Mr. Gadkari had played a key role in the construction of the Polavaram project when he was the Union Minister for Water Resources. Mr. Gadkari said in his speech earlier that Mr. Naidu's vision to link the Godavari, the Krishna and the Penna was commendable, insisting that this project had the potential to take water from there to as far as the tail-end areas in Tamil Nadu. Union Ministers K. Rammohan Naidu, Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar and Bhupathiraju Srinivasa Varma, Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan, Ministers B.C. Janardhan Reddy and Y. Satya Kumar, and MPs Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu, Kesineni Sivanath, Daggubati Purandeswari and Vallabhaneni Balashowry were among those present.

Efforts to attract investments from Singapore will soon pay off, says Andhra Pradesh Industries Minister Bharath
Industries and Commerce Minister T.G. Bharath has said the results of the visit of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu-led delegation to Singapore to attract investors to the State will be visible soon. Speaking to the media persons in Kurnool on Sunday, Mr. Bharath said the previous government's policies had turned away the investors from Singapore. 'Mr. Naidu made a sustained effort to erase the bad image and attract investments through his meetings with the officials, industrialists and business tycoons there. Mr. Naidu succeeded in his mission, and we will soon see the results in the way of investments,' he asserted. Apart from Mr. Naidu, the delegation comprised Ministers N. Lokesh, P. Narayana and Mr. Bharath. He said that Singapore achieved rapid strides in development as there was a stable and strong government. Mr. Bharath asserted that Andhra Pradesh too needed a stable government, which would bring investments to the State. Elaborating on his visit to various plants, ports and other places in Singapore, the Minister said Artificial Intelligence was playing a key role in all those places. On the proposed investments in the State, Mr. Bharath said Reliance would be investing in Orvakal in the district and a Coimbatore-based company had already set up its unit in Orvakal. Mr. Bharath said there was a huge potential for the youth to get jobs as pilots, and urged them to utilise the pilot training courses to be imparted at the Pilot Training Centre coming up at the Orvakal airport. 'Works on bringing water from Muchumarri to Orvakal Industrial Hub have been completed by 90%. We will also complete various irrigation projects, which will lead to industrial development. With sustained efforts of the NDA government, the entire district will witness development,' he said. Mr. Bharath said the government is taking all steps to stop migrations from the district and would support the small industries and bring them back on track. 'By handholding the small and minor industries, we can stop migration,' he said, adding that TIDCO houses would soon be handed over to the eligible poor. He further said the process of setting up the High Court Bench in Kurnool was going on. Mr. Bharath said the previous government had resorted to the liquor scam, causing loss to the exchequer, and action would be taken against those involved.
