NTR not just name, but soul of telugu pride, says Naidu
Kadapa: 'NTR is not just three letters; he is the soul of Telugu self-respect and a sweet memory forever etched in the hearts of the poor,' stated TDP National President and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, addressing a massive gathering on second day of Mahanadu on Wednesday. Paying floral tributes to NTR's statue on his 102nd birth anniversary, the Chief Minister described NTR as a transformational leader, who redefined power as service and society as sacred. 'NTR declared that rulers are not masters but servants. He transformed governance with the powerful ideal that 'society is the temple, and the people are gods',' the CM said. He called NTR Jayanthi a festival for all Telugu people and pledged to realise his dream of a poverty-free society. 'Only the Telugu Desam Party, inspired by NTR's ideals, can achieve this vision,' he asserted. Describing NTR's journey from a humble government employee to a towering figure in both cinema and politics, CM Chandrababu said, 'No other individual has ruled two domains with such supremacy. NTR was not just a movie star or political leader—he was a historic phenomenon.' Despite hardships, NTR built his life on self-discipline, integrity, and perseverance. His life was a source of inspiration and continues to instil confidence in generations of Telugu people. 'NTR meant assurance to the poor, friendship to farmers, courage to the distressed, and support to women and workers,' the CM said. He entered politics not for power, but to repay the people who made him a star. At 60, he launched a political revolution that altered the landscape of Indian democracy forever. He replaced dynastic politics and corruption with a clean, welfare-oriented alternative and famously said: 'Power is responsibility, not privilege.' Naidu highlighted the enduring legacy of the yellow party flag introduced by NTR: 'It symbolises welfare, self-respect, and future aspirations of the Telugu people.' From Rs 2/kg rice, Janata clothes, and free housing to pensions, affordable power for farmers, mid-day meals, property rights for women, and irrigation projects—NTR brought revolutionary reforms that remain benchmarks today. He also introduced landmark reforms like abolishing the Patel–Patwari system, launching the Single Window policy, and introducing reservations for BCs and women in local bodies. As TDP completes 43 years since its founding on March 29, 1982, the CM affirmed the party's renewed commitment to NTR's ideals. 'With the 2024 people's mandate, we are moving from destruction to development.' Chandrababu concluded his speech with a powerful pledge: 'Our movement to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality will be our true tribute to NTR. The Six Guarantees and My Telugu Family initiatives will be game changers. With NTR's blessings, by 2047, Telugu people will shine on the world stage.'

Party leaders and cadre TDP's strength: Naidu
Kadapa: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, after getting elected as TDP national president on Wednesday thanking party men for their confidence on his leadership, said the six key resolutions and in-depth discussions during Mahanadu shaped a roadmap for the party for the next 40 years. He said only TDP has the strength to elevate Telugu people globally. Naidu said TDP is the party that eradicated Naxalism, factionalism, and rowdyism. 'In the past five years under the previous government, properties were unsafe, and drugs mafia Increased manifold and ganja cultivation became a village-level industry in agency areas and crime was institutionalised.' Stressing that the TDP government is committed for development of Rayalaseema, the CM said he will not spare any wrongdoer and act ruthlessly against them. It is the responsibility of the alliance government to protect peace and security in the State. He promised that he will never let Rayalaseema remain a drought-hit or barren region, adding that it is because of TDP that Anantapur emerged as a prosperous district through horticulture. This year, Rs 3,800 crore is being invested in Rayalaseema water projects. After Polavaram, Handri-Neeva is receiving the highest project funding. He said Veligonda project will also be completed on priority. 'We will complete Polavaram by December 2027 and dedicate it to the nation and connect Polavaram to Banakacharla via Krishna River and Bollapalli reservoir. Once Polavaram-Banakacharla is complete, the face of the state will change,' he stated. Chandrababu said his mission is to ensure irrigation for every acre and uplift every farmer. He said the TDP government transformed AP from a state with power shortages to a surplus power state. He said every constituency will get at least 10,000 rooftop solar connections and Under PM-KUSUM, farmers should install solar panels at pump sets as the Central government has earmarked ₹75,000 crore subsidies for this project. The TDP chief said the alliance government is committed to developing all regions and constituencies in the state and developing Uttarandhra as a financial hub. Stating that govt will set up industrial parks in all 175 constituencies, he said Ratan Tata Innovation Hubs will be established in Amaravati, Visakhapatnam, Rajahmundry, Tirupati, and Anantapur. Concluding his speech Chandrababu said with the blessings of people and party workers – we are achieving one milestone after another.

YS Jagan Criticizes TDP's Mahanadu Event, Calls It a Drama
As the TDP's Mahanadu event is being held in Kadapa, YSRCP chief and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy strongly criticized the event. He called it a drama and questioned whether TDP leaders can go to any home in the state and show real work they have done. Jagan said that the promises, pamphlets, and bonds shared by TDP in the past are still in people's homes, and now people are asking what happened to the "Super Six" and "Super Seven" promises. He said TDP leader Chandrababu Naidu is only posing for photos at the event. Jagan mocked the party by calling TDP the "Telugu Drama Party." He added that holding a Mahanadu meeting in Kadapa does not show real leadership. According to him, real leadership means keeping promises and working for the people. Jagan accused Chandrababu of spoiling politics by trying to tempt, threaten, and scare elected leaders. He said this is harmful to democracy and called Chandrababu a bad influence on the system. He also said that even during the COVID-19 crisis, when the government had less money and more expenses, his team continued working for the public. He claimed that his government did not use problems as an excuse and continued to do good work. He said they fulfilled 99 percent of their promises and kept the election manifesto visible in all offices. According to him, these efforts led to a clean sweep in the local body elections.
