Nellore: Sarvepalle MLA Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy has alleged that the previous YSRCP government has closed Anna Canteens during its five-year tenure with political vengeance. On Wednesday, he laid foundation stone for the construction of Anna Canteen in Muthukur mandal, with an estimated cost of Rs 65 lakh. The MLA recalled that during TDP regime in 2014, there were two Anna Canteens in Muthukur and Podalakur mandals in Sarvepalle constituency. Pointing out that though DMK came to power by defeating AIDMK in Tamil Nadu, it continued Anna Canteens introduced by AIDMK, for the benefit of the poor in the State, Somireddy questioned YSRCP as to why it closed the canteens after it formed government in 2019 in the State. The MLA claimed that the coalition government led by TDP is keen on opening Anna Canteens across the State in a phased manner.

Somireddy demands ED probe into liquor scam in Andhra Pradesh
TDP Polit Bureau member and MLA Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy on Friday demanded that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) should probe the liquor scam in Andhra Pradesh, saying it was not only a matter of huge dent made to the public exchequer but also, more importantly, about the large number of lives that were lost. Addressing the media at the TDP central office, Mr. Chandramohan Reddy said the liquor scam was a fit case in which the 'economic terrorists' had looted people's money, and that the ED should realise its magnitude. The ED, which was investigating the Delhi liquor scam and the irregularities that had allegedly taken place in the implementation of the Kaleshwaram project, should pay due attention to the Andhra Pradesh liquor scam, as corruption in it was not confined to the State but crossed the national borders. Mr. Chandramohan Reddy said the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders, who were allegedly behind the scam, had to be dealt with sternly as it (the scam) was of massive proportions.

The historic school had faced several turbulent phases and was shut down during the YSRCP regime in 2021. Now, under the TDP-led NDA government, the institution has been revived with an investment of Rs 15 crore, supported by the NCC Group under its CSR initiative. Renovated and upgraded to international standards, the VR School has now admitted close to 1,000 students from underprivileged sections of society. After inaugurating the school, HRD Minister Nara Lokesh visited the classrooms, interacted with the students and teaching staff, and also spent time at the playground. 'The legendary VR school has provided education to many stalwarts like former Vice president of India M Venkaiah Naidu, playback singer SP Balasubramanyam etc. Senior politicians like Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy and Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy had also studied at this very school,' Lokesh noted. Recalling that many had asked him about why he chose to head a difficult portfolio like education, Lokesh stated that it was his dream to transform school education in the state in a big way and listed out numerous initiatives launched by the AP govt to upgrade govt schools in the state to the standards of corporate schools. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo During the event, the HRD minister also felicitated Nellore MP Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy, Devireddy Sudhakar Reddy and NCC Director Raju for supporting government schools under the P-4 initiative.
