Those trying to terrorise people won't be spared: Andhra Dy CM Pawan Kalyan
VIJAYAWADA: Making it clear that the NDA government under the leadership of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu will not tolerate any anti-social activities, and deal sternly with any attempt to disturb law and order in the State, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has asserted that they will not be cowed down by threatening statements using movie dialogues.
He felt that there was no change in their (YSRCP) rowdyism and anarchist approach even after losing power.
'Those hitting streets, holding placards with provocative movie dialogues should be cautious. Such dialogues are good to say in cinema. I also came from the film field. But it will not work in the real life. We will deal firmly with such trouble mongers. Any deterioration of law and order will not be tolerated,' he said, while addressing 'Suparipalanalo Tholi Adugu' (First Step Towards Good Governance) behind the State Secretariat on Monday.
'Though this venue is not the right platform to say so, it is loud and clear that this government will not spare those trying to terrorise people. We are here after facing several hardships. My appeal to officials is to make sure to implement the law strictly,' he said, adding that the coalition government is good, but not weak.
While highlighting the successful implementation of various welfare schemes and development programmes in the last one year, and the initiatives taken in his Panchayat Raj and Rural Development portfolios, Pawan Kalyan urged the officials right from the constituency level to the State level to make sure the implementation of good governance particularly with regard to law and order and corruption-free policies.
Mentioning that some people are of the opinion that the YSRCP may form the government in the next elections, he said such a situation will not arise, and he is confident that the coalition will be in power for at least 15 to 20 years, and no one can break the alliance.
'That (YSRCP) government is not going to form, and will not come. Why I am telling you this is I want to give you confidence. I want to empower you. The coalition will be in power for at least 15 to 20 years to make the State Viksit AP as part of Viksit Bharat. Myself or any others are not in a position to break the alliance,' he maintained.

2 cr farmers await revival of free crop insurance scheme
Vijayawada: The inordinate delay in the revival of free crop insurance scheme has put about two crore farmers in a tight spot. Although farmers hoped that the govt will pump life back into the free crop insurance scheme ahead of the Kharif season, the govt remained silent even as the crop season commenced across the state. Curiously, agriculture minister K Atchannaidu promised in the assembly to launch the best crop insurance scheme. The state govt had in fact abruptly walked out of the crop insurance scheme implemented by the previous YSRCP regime stating that it was not beneficial either to farmers or the govt. The TDP-led NDA, which came to power last June, took time to study crop insurance schemes implemented by various states. Sources said that the govt is not keen to revive the scheme as it would anywhere between 2,500 and 3,000 crore. The previous YSRCP govt had also goofed up the crop insurance scheme when it wanted to implement the scheme without joining the PM Fasal Bima Yojana. Three years later, the govt joined hands with the Centre and joined the Fasal Bima Yojana. According to information, the state govt used to pay a premium of 1,500-1,600 crore to cover certain crops under insurance. The Centre has been spending around 300-400 crore under Fasal Bima Yojana. The farmers were made to pay 10-15% of the total premium under Fasal Bima Yojana which costs around 500-700 crore to the farmers. Initially, the previous govt launched a complete free crop insurance scheme. However, the delay in payment of premium from the govt failed to give the desired results when the farmers lost their crops to the natural calamities. "The crop insurance scheme initiated by the our government between 2014-19 was the best. We are planning to bring a new scheme with requisite changes. The crop insurance policy adopted by the previous government not beneficial to the farmers," said Atchnnaidu during a debate in the assembly recently. He explained that YS Jagan Mohan Reddy government was yet to pay crop insurance claims under free insurance-PMFBY after rabi 2022-23 to the farmers. He said that the PMFBY claims about 1,400 crore was not settled due to the bungling of the scheme and payments by previous govt.

Launch outreach drive to highlight govt feats: Lokesh
Vijayawada: Unveiling the party's roadmap to connect with the masses, HRD and IT minister and national general secretary Nara Lokesh urged party leaders to spend the next month among the people, highlighting the govt's achievements over the past year. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He emphasized that party legislators must not overlook grassroots activists, crediting them as the backbone of the party's sweeping success in the last elections. Lokesh stressed the importance of bridging the gap between veteran and young leaders and called on legislators to take this message to the ground level. Addressing a party conclave at the TDP headquarters on Sunday, Lokesh said the public had given them an overwhelming 94% of the seats in the 2024 elections, largely due to the arrogance and misgovernance of the previous regime. He recalled how the YSRCP government had filed false cases against many TDP leaders during its tenure. "There was a time when, every Saturday, we didn't know whose wall they would demolish, whose house they would destroy, or who they would send to jail. The same police who salute us today once harassed us. Such measures did not help them win the elections. Their arrogance led them to defeat," he said. Lokesh cautioned party leaders to remain grounded and committed to resolving public grievances. He cited the example of tobacco farmers' issues in Ongole, which he raised with the agriculture minister and chief minister after visiting party leader Veeraiah Chowdary's family. He called for a proactive approach from legislators in addressing people's concerns and emphasized the need for constituency-level development. He said that the govt is working to fulfil every possible manner and in a strategic manner. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "Despite financial challenges, we have implemented the 'Talli ki Vandanam' and enhanced welfare pensions to the elderly people. Salaries of employees are being paid on the first of every month. We have started Anna Canteens. We are not saying we have done everything. We must go to the people and explain the development and welfare achievements of the coalition government. We are working with the goal of systematically fulfilling every promise," Lokesh said.
