Chief minister and TDP national president Chandrababu Naidu held a teleconference with all MLAs, MPs, and other party leaders from district and cluster levels on Friday.
CM Naidu asked MLAs to visit every home in their constituency, starting from June 23, and explain to the people what the NDA govt did in the last year despite severe financial constraints. He stated that the previous YSRCP regime destroyed the state in every aspect.
The chief minister further instructed the party cadres to effectively counter the false propaganda against state govt. He mentioned that the YSRCP is unable to digest the success of the NDA and is resorting to attacks and insulting women. He warned the cadres not to be complacent just because Mahanaadu was a success. He urged district-level and constituency leaders to complete the process of appointing party committees at the earliest.
Moreover, the CM asked MLAs to dedicate some time every day to party activities.
He further requested the MLAs to conduct leadership training camps and complete organisational committees quickly. Observing that Talliki Vandanam was a huge success, CM Naidu announced that Annadata Sukhibhava will also be launched on June 21.

‘Zero corruption' is the ultimate goal, says Naidu
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu instructed the officials to identify areas where corruption was occurring in the implementation of government schemes and programmes, and take immediate action after duly probing the incidents with zero corruption as the ultimate goal. Addressing a review meeting at his camp office on Saturday on public feedback received over the last year on various schemes through IVRS and CSDS surveys, Mr. Naidu said the people were by and large satisfied, but there was no room for complacency as the government could not afford to let them down as far as their expectations were concerned, and warned that corruption at any level and in any department would not be tolerated. He suggested that a technical audit be conducted on the survey process and steps taken to improve satisfaction in areas having low feedback, and called for prioritising 10 major public issues such as welfare, employment generation, and roads. Mr. Naidu instructed the officials to conduct Job Melas in all the 175 constituencies, and to make all government services available through WhatsApp Governance by August 15. He also wanted better delivery mechanisms that would ensure the supply of ration goods to the disabled and elderly citizens at their doorstep, and sought opinion-gathering on the implementation of the Public Distribution System.

Insult to Dalits': NDA turns heat on Lalu over Ambedkar video row, RJD hits back
A video from Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad's 78th birthday event on Wednesday has set off a political storm in Bihar. In the video circulating on social media, an RJD worker can be seen gifting Lalu a portrait of B R Ambedkar and holding it close to his feet. The RJD chief continued to pose for photographs, while the portrait remained at this position. The incident has drawn sharp criticism from the RJD's rival parties, particularly the ruling BJP and its NDA allies, who have accused Lalu of allegedly 'insulting the architect of the Indian Constitution' and 'hurting Dalit sentiments'. Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Samrat Choudhary called the incident 'an unpardonable insult to Dr Ambedkar and the Dalit community,' adding that it marked 'a black chapter in Bihar's political history'. He also demanded a public apology from the RJD patriarch. 'It is extremely unfortunate that on Lalu ji's birthday, such an insult to Baba Ambedkar took place. There can be no greater shame for democracy. This incident is a clear symbol of a dark chapter for the RJD… It reflects the mindset of those who have always used Dalit votes but have little regard for their icons,' Choudhary said. Lalu had 'consistently humiliated the backward, most backward, and Dalit communities in Bihar,' he alleged. Union Minister and former Bihar CM Jitan Ram Manjhi also condemned the incident, accusing the RJD chief of 'disrespecting' everyone. 'Placing Dr Ambedkar's photo at his feet is a huge insult to our god and to all Dalits. I am not surprised. The public may see this as something new… But they must realise that if he can insult everyone, why would he spare Baba saheb? Society is watching and understanding everything, and I believe even Lalu ji's own community will not tolerate this arrogance,' Manjhi said. Senior BJP leader and former Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad called the incident a 'grave insult' to the Constitution. 'Ambedkar stands as a pillar of our Constitution and embodies social justice. Such behaviour reveals a feudal mentality,' he said. Lok Jan Shakti Party (Ram Vilas) MP Shambhavi Choudhary, who represents the Samastipur seat, echoed similar views. Accusing the RJD of 'deceiving Dalit and Mahadalit communities,' Choudhary said: 'The RJD is continuously misleading the Dalit and Mahadalit communities who have stood by them. Yet, whenever given the chance, they end up disrespecting Dalits and their rights.' She added: 'Ambedkar ji fought for our rights and gave us a voice and strength. This is a moment for the people of Bihar to become aware… If they (RJD) truly respect Dalits, how could they allow Ambedkar ji's portrait to be placed at their feet? Lalu Yadav did not even react or ask for the photo to be moved. He was happy to have Ambedkar ji's photo at his feet.' On its part, the RJD however dismissed the NDA leaders' allegations as 'politically motivated'. RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari said the video was 'deliberately misrepresented' to malign Lalu's image and polarise Dalit voters ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. 'It's BJP's propaganda. They don't have any topic. BJP themselves have been known for disrespecting Baba Sahab. Lalu ji has always championed the cause of social justice and has the highest respect for Dr Ambedkar. They are distorting facts for electoral gains,' he said.

Naidu wields stick to beat corrupt staff with action
Vijayawada: Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday stated that corruption at any level by anyone would not be tolerated. He directed officials to build corruption-free administration by identifying areas where corruption was taking place, conducting inquiries promptly and acting against corrupt individuals immediately. The Chief Minister conducted a review of the public feedback received over the past year regarding government schemes and programmes, at his camp office in Undavalli on Saturday. Officials informed the Chief Minister that the IVRS (interactive voice response system) surveys indicated high levels of satisfaction with the coalition government's performance. Naidu instructed that a technical audit should be conducted on the survey process and steps should be taken to improve satisfaction levels in areas with low feedback. He called for prioritizing 10 major public issues such as welfare, employment generation and roads. He directed officials to work towards addressing problems related to all 10 major public issues. He asked officials to disclose as to how many people secured jobs through initiatives like work-from-home, investment inflow, and skill development. Job melas should be conducted across all 175 constituencies, and by August 15, all government services should be made available via WhatsApp Governance through the 'Mana Mitra' platform, he said. He also suggested exploring better delivery mechanisms to ensure ration supplies reach disabled and elderly citizens at their doorsteps. On fair price shops, he recommended gathering beneficiary opinions on alternatives such as increasing the number of shops, providing cash, or issuing coupons. Regarding the free sand policy, he directed officials to conduct area-wise studies to understand dissatisfaction in various regions on the sand issue.
