On Saturday, during his visit to Agiripalli, the Minister met several families and enquired about problems being faced by them. He directed the officials concerned over the phone to resolve several problems that were brought to his attention during the visit.
The Minister emphasised that right from the Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu down to grassroots leaders, everyone is working earnestly to solve the problems of the poor. The pension distribution programme is also being carried out alongside, reflecting the government's commitment in staying connected with the people and understanding their difficulties. The Annadata Sukhibhava and Talliki Vandanam welfare schemes would be launched soon. Despite financial constraints, the government is moving forward with both welfare and development programmes, he said.
Alleging that the previous government slowed down the State's progress across various sectors, he said that Mr. Naidu is making determined efforts to stabilise the State's economy while simultaneously attracting large-scale industrial investments. Measures are also being taken to provide employment opportunities to the youth. The people have given the coalition government a historic victory, and they will work tirelessly to meet the people's expectations with a strong sense of responsibility, he said.

Furthermore, he declared that every poor person without a home will be provided a permanent house within the next five years by the coalition government.
The Minister made it clear that any poor individual with a problem can approach him directly and get their issue resolved and there is no place for brokers or middlemen. A special review meeting in coordination with the Sub-Collector would be convened to address land issues in the mandal, noting that many people have been filing complaints regarding land matters. A dedicated platform involving the Joint Collector and Sub-Collector will be set up to resolve these issues. Drainage and road problems in Agiripalli mandal would be resolved soon, he added.

Launch of key projects kick-starts a new era of progress in J&K, say A.P. Chief Minister Naidu, Deputy CM Pawan
Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, in a message on X on Friday, said under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a new era of progress had begun in Jammu and Kashmir. 'I congratulate him on the successful completion of key projects dedicated to the nation today, including two architectural marvels built in challenging terrain,' Mr. Naidu said. He said the Chenab Rail Bridge was the world's highest rail arch bridge, while the Anji Bridge was India's first cable-stayed rail bridge. The Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) would enhance spiritual tourism, generate livelihood opportunities, and ensure all-weather connectivity with Vande Bharat trains running from Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra to Srinagar, he said. In his post on X, Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan said it was a proud day for the people of the Kashmir Valley. For the first time in independent India, the Kashmir Valley was now connected to the rest of the country through the world's highest railway bridge, Chenab Bridge. 'It is a moment of national pride,' he said. Fulfilling a decades-old dream of a railway line, the NDA government achieved a significant milestone. 'This marks another step forward in the vision of integrating Kashmir as an inseparable part of India and ensuring the people of Kashmir receive the benefits of welfare and development on par with other States. It is made possible after the historic and revolutionary decision of abrogating Article 370 by the NDA government,' Mr. Pawan Kalyan said. He also extended his heartfelt gratitude on behalf of all Indians to Mr. Modi, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, and everyone who played a key role in making this historic transformation a reality.

The Andhra Pradesh Government, the NITI Aayog, and the ISEG Foundation entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the State Energy Transition Roadmap on Friday. The MoU was signed in the presence of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. On the occasion, Mr. Naidu said that the undivided Andhra Pradesh had pioneered the power sector reforms in the country in 1998. In the year 2014, the residuary State had prioritised renewable energy, enabling lowest-cost power generation. With advances in technology, Andhra Pradesh made remarkable strides, he observed. 'The government is now implementing new policies that allows people to become both producers and consumers of power. If individuals generate electricity, distribution losses can be eliminated. EV adoption will drastically reduce transportation costs. We are focusing on solar, wind, pumped hydro, battery storage, and green hydrogen. Andhra Pradesh has abundant resources to support this vision. I seek NITI Aayog's support to realise it,' the Chief Minister said. As part of the MoU, the government intends to increase the share of renewables in power capacity addition. The current installed power generation capacity in the State is 27.3 GW. The electricity demand increased to 69.7 BU in 2025 from 55.6 BU in 2019. Industrial demand has grown by 4.8% and household demand by 5.1%. The power demand is projected to rise to 163.9 BU by 2035 from 88.6 BU next year. Under the AP Integrated Clean Energy Policy, the govenment targets 78.50 GW solar, 35 GW wind, 22 GW pumped storage, 1.50 MMTPA green hydrogen, 25 GW battery storage, 1,500 KLPD ethanol, 5,000 EV charging stations, and 10,000 TPD bio-CNG/CBG by 2029. The State has already attracted ₹5.78 lakh crore investments in clean energy, enabling 57.7 GW of power generation. Energy Minister Gottipati Ravikumar, NITI Aayog CEO B.V.R. Subrahmanyam, Chief Secretary Vijayanand, and representatives of the ISEG Foundation were present.
