In a statement, the MP highlighted the importance of implementing the government's measures without deviation. He urged officials to ensure the reopening of mango pulp processing units and facilitate the purchase of Totapuri mangoes directly from farmers to prevent losses. The latter expressed his gratitude to Naidu for announcing a minimum support price (MSP) of Rs.12,000 per tonne for Totapuri mangoes, a move that has brought great relief to farmers. Welcoming the MSP announcement, he praised the coalition government for standing firmly on the side of farmers. He called on officials to understand the government's intent and raise awareness among mango farmers about sending only ripened fruit to processing industries. He stressed the need for horticulture and agriculture assistants to work extensively at the grassroots level to educate farmers on this issue.

In a release issued on Saturday, TDP State president Palla Srinivasa Rao said as per the directions of the party supremo it is mandatory to inform the party central office before inviting leaders from other parties into the TDP fold. Mentioning that the central office will critically analyse the leaders willing to join the TDP, Palla said Naidu gave clear instructions that induction of leaders from other parties should take place only with the approval of the central leadership. The TDP State chief asked the leaders serving in different positions in the party to make a note of the directions issued by the TDP supremo. In fact, admitting former YSRCP leader and Visakha Dairy Chairman Adari Anand Kumar into the BJP sparked a row with the TDP taking serious exception to it.
