‘P4 focused on long term benefits, not immediate politics': Foundation Vice Chairman
VIJAYAWADA: With criticism emerging from various quarters about the forceful adoption of 'Bangaru Kutumbams' by 'Margadarshis' (mentors) under the P4 program, Swarna Andhra P4 Foundation Vice Chairman C. Kutumba Rao clarified that P4 is a strategic, people-centric movement launched with the sole objective of improving lives across Andhra Pradesh. 'It is a mission for the people, by the people, and to the people - cutting across political lines, communities, regions, or economic status. The program is built on participation, not politics,' Rao said in a release issued on Monday. He stated that the P4 (Public-Private-People Partnership) initiative aims to enhance people's participation for the progress and prosperity of Andhra Pradesh. CM Naidu is fully aware that P4 may not bring immediate political dividends, yet he has chosen to lead this initiative with full commitment because the well-being of the people comes first, not politics. The program demands significant effort, coordination, and energy, but its focus remains clear: to create a platform where citizens, businesses, NRIs come together in service of society.

P-4 initiative purely voluntary; no quotas for officials or departments, says Foundation Vice-Chairman
Swarna Andhra P4 Foundation Vice-Chairman C. Kutumba Rao, in a press release on Monday, said the P-4 (Public-Private-People Partnership) Initiative was a people-driven movement for inclusive development — purely voluntary and participatory — with the government committed to taking swift action if any deviations were found. Responding to recent media reports, Mr. Kutumba Rao clarified that no quotas of any kind were being imposed on officials or departments. He asserted that the sole aim of the initiative was to improve lives across the State, describing it as 'a mission for the people, by the people, and of the people,' cutting across political lines, communities, regions, and economic status. 'The programme is built on participation, not politics,' he stressed. Mr. Kutumba Rao noted that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu was fully aware the initiative might not yield immediate political dividends, yet chose to lead it because the well-being of the people was his top priority. The programme, he said, demanded significant effort, coordination, and energy, but its focus remained clear — to create a platform where citizens, businesses, NRIs, volunteers, party workers, and officials could come together in service of society. Mr. Kutumba Rao added that while the depth and strategic value of the P-4 Initiative might not be immediately apparent, the government would share more detailed insights and data with the media in the coming months to ensure a complete and accurate understanding of the programme. Highlighting its vision, he said the initiative aimed to uplift every citizen and empower any willing individual — regardless of political affiliation, class, or background — to contribute to the State's progress. The path-breaking programme, he emphasised, sought to transform Andhra Pradesh into a zero-poverty State in the coming years.
