CM Chandrababu Naidu Urges MLAs to Enhance Public Trust in Alliance Government
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) National President Nara Chandrababu Naidu has called upon all MLAs to step up their efforts and improve their performance. During a teleconference on Saturday with TDP members, leaders, and MLAs at the party office in Amaravati, CM Naidu emphasised the importance of earning and maintaining the trust of the public, reminding them that the citizens are closely observing their actions. Highlighting an upcoming event, CM Naidu announced plans to organise a gathering of 2,000 people in Amaravati on June 12 to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the NDA government assuming power. He urged that similar programmes be held across Andhra Pradesh, stressing the need to communicate the developmental initiatives undertaken by the NDA government throughout the year. The Chief Minister expressed his awareness of the performance of individual MLAs and stressed the importance of being accessible to the public. He aimed to inform citizens about the prevailing conditions in Andhra Pradesh under the NDA alliance, particularly as the state grapples with a significant financial crisis leading up to June 2024. Reflecting on his experience as a four-time Chief Minister, Naidu remarked that he had never encountered such challenging circumstances. Nonetheless, he is focused on improving the state's financial situation while continuing with welfare and development programmes. He expressed frustration over the disruptive actions of certain individuals, stating that there is a need to take a firm stance against such elements. Naidu also noted the historical context of issues like drug availability, particularly ganja, asserting that significant progress has been made in controlling these problems. He assured a strong crackdown on lawlessness, drug trafficking, and organised crime in the state. On a positive note, the Chief Minister mentioned the success of the recent Mahanadu event and confirmed that the establishment of all committees and state bodies would be finalised by next month. He encouraged party members to actively participate in Yoga Day celebrations, promoting the benefits of yoga for their health and well-being.

Citing CAG data, Jagan claims Andhra's fiscal performance indicates 'distress'
CM Jagan Mohan Reddy (File Photo) YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Saturday cited the CAG's data for the month of April and claimed Andhra Pradesh's fiscal performance indicates 'distress'.The former chief minister noted that the figures released by CAG for the month of the April 2025 convey the 'real picture'."The State GST revenues for the first month of this financial year (April 2025) demonstrated contraction to the tune of 24.20 percent, when compared to the April 2024," he said in a post on 'X'. Though the TDP-led NDA government on May 1 proclaimed that net GST collection of the state government for the month of April 2025 had been the 'highest' since the introduction of GST at Rs 3,354 crore, Reddy said technically net GST will be subsequent to all adjustments. As soon as the CAG figures have become public, the government 'mischievously' issues one more press release suggesting that even in May month the GST revenues were at record high, he alleged. "In this press release they mention that, in April, 2025, the Central Government deducted Rs 796 crores on account of adjustment of advance apportionment from IGST (integrated GST), so GST revenues have come down," said to the opposition leader, advance apportionment of IGST is accounted for under minor head 110 and is part of SGST (state GST) under major head 0006 of government said this is a regular process and net GST revenues would be arrived at after accounting for all these adjustments, and added that it was the case in the previous years as well."The May 1 press release says that net GST collection is Rs 3,354 crore for April 2025. Now, they (govt) say that Rs 796 crore is adjusted. One can clearly understand that this is nothing but a cover up after truth about the GST revenue is brought to light by the CAG," said Reddy. Further, the opposition leader observed that quite contrary to what the NDA alliance government had suggested, the figures released by CAG indicate that the 'trend of economic sluggishness' is more pronounced in April with the tax revenues dropping by 12.21 percent and non-tax revenues registering a fall of 22 percent when compared to April 2024. If the state's own revenues are taken into consideration, Reddy said, the fall over the previous year is 12.76 percent, indicating a 'very gloomy picture'. Meanwhile, there was no immediate reaction from the ruling TDP.
