He held a party review meeting in Parvatipuram and interacted YSRCP-Vizianagaram-Parvatipuram districts president Majji Srinivasa Rao and Araku Parliament member Gumma Thanuja Rani and other leaders. Speaking on the occasion, he said that the party which got 40% vote share in 2024 General Elections would come back to power in 2020 with a thumping majority.

Palla calls VSP privatisation charges by Opposition ‘false propaganda'
Dismissing the charges levelled by the Opposition that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)-led NDA government is hand in glove with the Central government on the privatisation of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) as 'baseless', TDP Andhra Pradesh unit president Palla Srinivasa Rao has called it a 'false propaganda' by the trade unions and the Opposition parties. Addressing the media in Vijayawada on Tuesday, Mr. Srinivasa Rao reiterated that the NDA government in the State was committed to protecting the VSP and ensuring its continuation as a public sector unit (PSU). 'The YSRCP, Congress, Left parties and trade unions are spreading false propaganda that the VSP would be privatised. Some harsh decisions are inevitable for the continuation of the VSP as a PSU, and this includes the privatisation of some sections of the plant to improve productivity and reduce costs,' Mr. Srinivasa Rao said. He said the bids called for Expression of Interest (EOI) recently was a 'step in that direction'. 'Some sections of the VSP would be given to good companies to improve efficiency. This has been happening for a long. There is nothing new in it,' the TDP leader said. He recalled that then Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and MP Yerran Naidu convinced then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and prevented the VSP from going into the red by securing funds for it in 1998. Visakhapatnam MP M. Sribharat and Union Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu had helped secure Central funds of ₹1,440 crore for the VSP this year to ensure steady supply of raw material. The third Blast Furnace was made operational after years and the VSP has achieved its highest production recently. 'The YSRCP, which had done nothing for the VSP during its tenure, is spreading false propaganda to mislead the plant workers and the people. Some trade union leaders had cheated the workers during the last five years and were responsible for the recruitment of a large number of 'ghost workers' on a contract basis by taking ₹3 lakh to ₹8 lakh from people. A probe will be ordered into the issue,' Mr. Srinivasa Rao said. Pointing out that the monthly salary bill of the VSP employees and officers stands at ₹240 crore, he said, 'If two Blast Furnaces operate to full capacity, the plant can just achieve a breakeven. The third Blast Furnace, which had not been working for the past several years, was made functional after the NDA government came to power in the State.' 'Our goal is the continuation of the VSP as the public sector unit. It should run to its full capacity and to do justice to the 8,000 displaced persons,' Mr. Srinivasa Rao added.

P4 initiative: Selection of ‘Margadarshis' is done voluntarily, says A.P. CM
Reiterating that every decision of the Andhra Pradesh government is aimed at the welfare of the poor, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday said the selection of 'Margadarshis' (mentors) under P4 initiative is being done voluntarily, without any compulsion. Saying that each individual chooses their own way of serving society, the Chief Minister cited the example of a devotee who recently donated 121 kg of gold worth ₹140 crore to the Lord Venkateswara temple at Tirumala from the earnings of his own company, while requesting that his name remain anonymous. 'Some people contribute in their own way. Yet, true satisfaction and fulfilment do not come from wealth or achievements. They come only from serving and supporting the poor,' he observed. Mr. Naidu emphasised that the 'Margadarshis' (mentors) must not only extend financial support but also provide reassurance to the adopted Bangaru Kutumbalu (golden families). 'I am a Margadarshi too. I have adopted 250 families in my Kuppam constituency and will personally devote time to their well-being,' he said, recalling the legacy of social reformers like Dokka Seethamma. During the event, Mr. Naidu interacted, in virtual mode, with the overseas Telugu NRIs who came forward to adopt poor families, including several from Saudi Arabia. Emotional testimonies came from the beneficiaries, including Pavani from Krishna district, who secured employment at HCL through P4. Symbolically, Mr. Naidu presented an 'Adopt Tree' to families from his Kuppam constituency. The Chief Minister launched the symbolic 'Adopt Tree' in Kuppam, presenting it to beneficiary families. The families expressed gratitude, saying that their lives were improving with the government's support. Highlighting women's empowerment, the Chief Minister said that only the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) had consistently created platforms for girls' safety, education, and independence. 'Sanjeevani' Mr. Naidu said a new initiative in public health titled Sanjeevani, a programme designed to protect community health, to be launched in collaboration with the Bill Gates Foundation. 'Service brings true contentment, and help brings fulfilment. With P4, our mission is not just to extend assistance but also to give hope and dignity to every poor family,' he said. Senior officials, P4 Foundation vice-chairman Kutumbarao, and NRT chairman Vemuri Ravi Kumar attended the programme.

Jana Sena Party will hold a public meeting in Visakhapatnam on August 30, says Nadendla
Jana Sena Party Political Affairs Committee chairman and Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar on Tuesday said that the party will hold a public meeting at the Municipal Corporation Stadium in Visakhapatnam on August 30 at 3 p.m. Party president and Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan will address the gathering. Mr. Manohar said Mr. Pawan Kalyan chose Visakhapatnam out of his special interest in the city and recalled how the party had organised a long march against the YSRCP government's sand policy in 2019. To defeat the YSRCP without splitting anti-incumbency votes, Mr. Pawan Kalyan had taken the decision to join hands with the TDP and BJP, he said. With the leadership of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and support of the Union government, Andhra Pradesh was witnessing 'true governance,' he added. Mr. Pawan Kalyan will outline the Jana Sena's future plans and its ties with the allies at the meeting, which is expected to draw about 15,000 workers from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The party has 12.43 lakh registered members, and 12 committees are overseeing the event arrangements. On the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, Mr. Manohar said the Jana Sena has always supported its growth and opposed privatisation. Mr. Pawan Kalyan had also taken up the issue with BJP leaders at the Centre with the slogan 'Visakha Ukku – Andhrula Hakku,' he said.
