Sharmila slams NDA govt. in Andhra Pradesh for ‘abandoning' Aadabidda Nidhi scheme
Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Y.S. Sharmila slammed the NDA government in the State for 'abandoning' the promised 'Aadabidda Nidhi' scheme. 'Looks like the government has already done away with the scheme, which was included in the much-hyped Super Six promises,' she posted on X. Referring to Agriculture Minister K. Atchannaidu's statement that the government would have to sell Andhra Pradesh to implement the scheme, Ms. Sharmila said the TDP should have known this before including it in the Super Six promises. Under the scheme, the TDP had promised a monthly financial assistance of ₹1,500 to all eligible women aged between 18 and 59. She criticised the ruling party's claim on 'good governance' and alleged that women were being betrayed under the guise of welfare. She said Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu owed an explanation to the people on why were women being taken for a ride by his government.

YSRCP demands apology from TDP MLA for making derogatory remarks against former Minister
The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) strongly condemned the derogatory remarks made by TDP MLA Bollisetty Srinivas against its leader and former Minister R.K. Roja and demanded a public apology. Addressing the media, YSRCP leader Putta Shiva Shankar called the comments an insult to women in public life and urged immediate withdrawal of the statements. Mr. Shivashankar also attacked Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Agriculture Minister K. Atchannaidu, accusing them of deceiving voters during the election campaign. He criticised the TDP for failing to implement key promises, including the 'Aadabidda Nidhi' scheme meant to provide financial assistance to women. He took particular exception to the Agriculture Minister's recent remark that implementing such schemes would require 'selling the State,' calling it an admission of poor planning. Mr. Shivashankar questioned why such promises were made if they could not be fulfilled. The YSRCP leader alleged that none of the 143 election promises, including free bus travel for women and unemployment allowances had been delivered. He also raised concerns about alleged asset transfers to unknown entities and demanded the Chief Minister's resignation.

‘Aadabidda Nidhi' scheme will be launched soon, says Minister
Minister for Endowments Anam Ramanarayana Reddy on Tuesday said that the State government will soon launch the `Aadabidda Nidhi' scheme, an election promise of the TDP. The Minister was speaking at the 'Suparipalana lo Tholi Adugu' programme in Durvesi village of Gadivemula mandal of Panyam Assembly Constituency of the district. Mr. Reddy said that though the Opposition made mockery of the 'Super Six', people had faith in the promises made by the NDA and elected it. 'We are implementing the 'Super Six' schemes and will start the free bus ride for women from August 15. Similarly, the 'Aadabidda Nidhi' scheme will also be launched soon,' he added. Under the 'Aadabidda Nidhi' scheme, eligible women aged between 18 and 59 years will receive ₹1,500 every month. The Minister said that Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu is a leader who does not make false promises and fulfils the promise he makes. The State government will be providing ₹10,000 for identified temples under the 'Dhupa, Deepa, Naivedyam' scheme and in Nandyal district ₹43 crore has been sanctioned for 47 temples. The Minister sanctioned ₹4 crore for development of the Sri Bugga Rameswara Swamy Temple in the district and said that a Sunkalamma temple in Durvasi temple would also be constructed.

YSRCP to carry out ‘Recalling Chandrababu Manifesto' to expose NDA govt.
Former Minister and senior YSRCP leader Gudivada Amarnath said the YSRCP would carry out 'Recall Chandrababu Manifesto' programme up to village level and expose the betrayal of the NDA government. Through the programme, the YSRCP would show the citizens what was promised and given by the government. Speaking to the media in a press conference on Friday, Mr. Amarnath alleged that the NDA government completely failed to implement its election promises. He said the TDP leaders have been blatantly telling not to extend welfare programmes to YSRCP cadre, but when the YSRCP was in power, the benefits were provided to the people in a transparent manner, irrespective of their political affiliations. He alleged that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has no respect for manifesto, Constitution or the people. Though Mr. Chandrababu Naidu and K. Pawan Kalyan had given signed bonds promising the implementation of welfare schemes, they are now going back on it, he said. The YSRCP leader also alleged that the promises of 'Aadabidda Nidhi', 'unemployment stipend', 'Annadatha Sukhibhava' and creation of 20 lakh jobs were not implemented. He also alleged that a number of conditions were imposed for 'Talliki Vandanam' and 'Deepam' schemes. He added that locally the TDP cadre were unable to face the voters as the government failed to implement the promises. He appealed the people to question the NDA leaders over their promises.

Jagan means trust, Babu means betrayal: YSRCP
Anantapur: YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) Anantapur District President Anantha Venkatarami Reddy unveiled a booklet titled 'Jagan Means Trust – Chandrababu Means Betrayal' at the party's district office. The publication highlights the failures of the NDA coalition government in its first year of rule. Speaking at the launch event, Venkatarami Reddy criticised the current alliance government, stating that it has betrayed the people just like Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu did during his earlier tenure. 'We released this book to expose the chaos and deception of the ruling alliance, one year after they assumed power,' he said. During YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's tenure as Chief Minister, all manifesto promises were implemented without corruption or middlemen, benefiting citizens with ₹2.81 lakh crore in welfare schemes. The coalition, led by Chandrababu Naidu, has failed to implement even one of the 'Super Six' promises made during the elections. These schemes alone would require ₹81,000 crore annually, but nothing has been delivered. In reality, the 'Thalliki Vandhanam' scheme has only reached 37.7 lakh beneficiaries, not the claimed 67 lakh. The Amma Vodi scheme now gives only ₹13,000 instead of the promised ₹15,000, while Jagan's government had allotted ₹2,000 for school development from the same fund. Key promises such as ₹1,500 per month under the 'Aadabidda Nidhi,' pensions for SC/ST/BC women at 50 years of age, and free RTC bus travel for women remain unfulfilled. Illegal liquor, sand, and soil trade is rampant, especially in all 14 constituencies of Anantapur district. Liquor is being sold at inflated prices, even above MRP, with reported incidents of misbehavior inside bars and shops in Anantapur city, he said. Small vendors are now charged double the earlier fee for setting up pushcarts — ₹20 instead of ₹10, and in some areas even ₹40 instead of ₹20 — with no significant increase in municipal revenue. Venkatarami Reddy stated, 'YSRCP stood with the people even while in opposition. It is only due to our pressure that the government implemented schemes like Thalliki Vandhanam, though partially. We will continue to expose the betrayal of the coalition.' He concluded by declaring that the YSRCP would actively confront the government's failures and continue to serve as the voice of the people, ensuring that the public is informed about every instance of deception.
