YSRCP sceptical about success of A.P. govt.'s ‘P4' programme
While adoption of poor people is a voluntary action coming out of noble intent, it can't be thrusted on government employees and officers, as is being done by the incumbent government, he explained.
Addressing a media conference here on Tuesday (July 29, 2025) along with the city Mayor B.R. Sireesha Yadav, Mr. Reddy derided the scheme as the Chandrababu Naidu government's vain attempt to match up to the welfare schemes launched by the previous government.
'The kind-hearted Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy spent lakhs of crores of rupees from the state exchequer to eradicate poverty in the state. On the contrary, the present Chief Minister is trying to force the rich to adopt the poor, by showing the empty coffers', he ridiculed.
Calling P4 as a 'futile attempt' to get the rich to adopt the poor, he explained the rationale behind the concept. 'For two centuries, we have seen the history of the oppressors always going against the oppressed. In the same vein, the super-rich will never be interested in bailing the poor out of their financial debt trap and as such, any such attempt is bound to fail', he said.

I want people of Andhra Pradesh to be ‘healthy, wealthy, happy', says Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu says his vision is to see 'healthy, wealthy and happy people' in the State, irrespective of their caste or religion. Addressing a gathering at East Veerayapalem village of Darsi mandal in Prakasam district on Saturday, Mr. Naidu said he wanted to reduce inequalities and ensure an equitable society with the P4 (People, Public, Private Partnership) scheme. Mr. Naidu said, 'I am working round the clock for the welfare of the people to improve their standard of life. After developing Hyderabad, which is now the highest per-capita income generating city, in undivided Andhra Pradesh, I am now focused on developing Amaravati as a global city. My vision is to develop Andhra Pradesh as the No. 1 State in India by 2047.' Lashes out at YSRCP Criticising the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders, Mr. Naidu said, 'People must remain vigilant against those wearing the mask of politics. In my 47-year political journey, including 15 years as Chief Minister, I have never seen such degradation in politics. A party depicted Amaravati women as prostitutes. When a few women demanded an apology during its leader's visit to Podili in Prakasam district, they were assaulted.' 'TDP MLA Prashanti Reddy was abused by another YSRCP leader. Instead of condemning it, their party chief spoke in support of it. They tried to frame me in connection with their uncle's murder. At Bangarupalem in Chittoor district, mangoes were crushed under tractors to create a political spectacle. Fake videos were shown in Nellore to create false public support,' Mr. Naidu said. 'I will not remain silent if criminals foray into politics. The political parties must serve the people. Even if power is their ultimate goal, they must uphold values, discipline, rules and decency. Should people learn foul language and violent conduct from these leaders? I'm working to protect the lives and the future of the poor,' Mr. Naidu said.
