He also suggested highlighting the good work done by Prime Minister Modi. Naidu said that the MPs should participate in discussions on topics like Operation Sindoor and the 50th anniversary of the Emergency and support the central government's stance. The chief minister further advised MPs to maintain continuous coordination with the departments allocated to them. Parliament members should have first-hand information on what is happening in their respective departments and should immediately take advantage of bringing funds and projects to the state. He asked them to focus on schemes like Jal Jeevan Mission and Health Mission to secure additional funds. Naidu warned MPs to stay away from unnecessary controversies and to work closely with people. He asked them to address people's issues like the mango price crisis, required assistance from the Centre, and issues like the reduction of GST on mango pulp. He also suggested explaining the progress happening in the state and innovative programmes like Quantum Valley, Green Hydrogen Valley, population management, and P4 in Parliament. He said that the criminal political issues of the opposition should also be mentioned. "It is unfortunate that we have to do politics with people having a criminal mindset.
