All REsources to be utilised to develop district: Atchanna
Parvathipuram: Andhra Pradesh minister K Atchannaidu emphasised the need to utilize all available resources to drive development in Parvathipuram Manyam district during the 'Suparipalanalo Tholi Adugu' programme held on Friday. The district was the first in the state to conduct this initiative, marking a significant step toward progress. Addressing the gathering, Atchannaidu noted that the state faced multiple crises over the past five years, with collapsed systems and a weakened financial status. He highlighted that the state's Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) growth was 15 per cent between 2014-19 and 12.94 per cent in 2023-24, but only 8-9 per cent in the last five years. In contrast, Parvathipuram Manyam achieved an impressive 16.90 per cent GSDP growth in 2024-25, despite having only 50 per cent of its employee strength. The minister stated that the state government has stabilised over the past year, moving from a critical state to recovery. Key initiatives include the NTR Bharosa pension scheme, benefiting 65 lakh people with an annual expenditure of Rs. 34,000 crore, the reopening of Anna Canteens, and cylinder distribution under the Deepam scheme. Under the Thalliki Vandanam scheme, Rs 8,700 crore was deposited into the accounts of 67 lakh mothers, a historic achievement. Atchannaidu outlined plans for economic growth, including establishing food processing units through public-private partnerships. He also addressed long-pending issues like Janjhavathi and Kotia, promising resolution. The state has sanctioned medical colleges under a public-private partnership model and aims to resolve revenue grievances within a year. The minister highlighted the district's potential for tourism development and instructed forest officials to support related initiatives. Women, child, and tribal welfare minister Gummidi Sandhya Rani noted significant developmental works undertaken in the past year. District collector A Shyam Prasad presented a detailed report on achievements and future targets. The meeting resolved that no employee transfers would occur without replacements. As part of the programme, Atchannaidu distributed seeds to farmers, electric stoves and utensils to Anganwadi centers, and solar power equipment, reinforcing the government's commitment to grassroots development.

Those trying to terrorise people won't be spared: Andhra Dy CM Pawan Kalyan
VIJAYAWADA: Making it clear that the NDA government under the leadership of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu will not tolerate any anti-social activities, and deal sternly with any attempt to disturb law and order in the State, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has asserted that they will not be cowed down by threatening statements using movie dialogues. He felt that there was no change in their (YSRCP) rowdyism and anarchist approach even after losing power. 'Those hitting streets, holding placards with provocative movie dialogues should be cautious. Such dialogues are good to say in cinema. I also came from the film field. But it will not work in the real life. We will deal firmly with such trouble mongers. Any deterioration of law and order will not be tolerated,' he said, while addressing 'Suparipalanalo Tholi Adugu' (First Step Towards Good Governance) behind the State Secretariat on Monday. 'Though this venue is not the right platform to say so, it is loud and clear that this government will not spare those trying to terrorise people. We are here after facing several hardships. My appeal to officials is to make sure to implement the law strictly,' he said, adding that the coalition government is good, but not weak. While highlighting the successful implementation of various welfare schemes and development programmes in the last one year, and the initiatives taken in his Panchayat Raj and Rural Development portfolios, Pawan Kalyan urged the officials right from the constituency level to the State level to make sure the implementation of good governance particularly with regard to law and order and corruption-free policies. Mentioning that some people are of the opinion that the YSRCP may form the government in the next elections, he said such a situation will not arise, and he is confident that the coalition will be in power for at least 15 to 20 years, and no one can break the alliance. 'That (YSRCP) government is not going to form, and will not come. Why I am telling you this is I want to give you confidence. I want to empower you. The coalition will be in power for at least 15 to 20 years to make the State Viksit AP as part of Viksit Bharat. Myself or any others are not in a position to break the alliance,' he maintained.

Naidu unveils Swarna Andhra Vision, a blueprint for reconstruction, inclusive growth
In a landmark policy presentation at the State Secretariat on Monday during the celebrations of Suparipalanalo Tholi Adugu (First Step in Good Governance) on the occasion of the first anniversary of the NDA government, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu unveiled the government's ambitious 'Swarna Andhra @2047' vision, setting forth a comprehensive roadmap to restore the State's economy, governance, infrastructure, and social fabric. BJP A.P. president D. Purandeswari, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan and all the Ministers, MLAs, MPs and others participated in the meeting. Terming the NDA alliance's historic electoral win as a mandate for reconstruction, Mr. Naidu positioned the initiative as a transformative journey from 'misgovernance to prosperity.' Mr. Naidu blamed the previous YSRCP regime for ''fiscal mismanagement, loss of investor confidence, institutional collapse, and the derailment of flagship projects like Amaravati and Polavaram''. Citing the NITI Aayog's report on debt sustainability, he pointed out huge public debt, diversion of funds, and a near-zero score on financial health. 'The people's verdict is against destruction. It is a call for rebuilding,' said Mr. Naidu. He affirmed the government's commitment to transparency by announcing seven White Papers to document systemic failures from 2019 to 2024. In his first month in office, Mr. Naidu said that he had initiated key reforms like repeal of the AP Land Titling Act, increased pensions under the NTR Bharosa scheme to ₹4,000 for senior citizens and ₹6,000 to ₹15,000 for other vulnerable groups, recruitment of 16,347 teachers via Mega DSC, and revival of 203 Anna Canteens serving over four crore meals at ₹5. Highlighting alignment with the Centre, the CM announced that the double engine government made it possible to ensure ₹15,000 crore for Amaravati, ₹12,500 crore for Polavaram, ₹11,400 crore for Vizag steel plant, allocation of ₹5,000 crore for Orvakal and Kopparthy industrial nodes, and sanction of the long-pending Railway Zone with headquarters at Vizag. Capital plan Mr. Naidu outlined plans to transform Amaravati into a global knowledge hub with a projected population of 3.5 million and 1.5 million jobs by 2050. Backed by global institutions such as the World Bank, ADB, and KfW, the city will be developed as a self-financing project, he added. Describing the Polavaram project as Andhra Pradesh's 'lifeline,' Mr. Naidu criticised the stalling of the project during the previous regime and announced a target completion timeline of 2027, with ₹5,936 crore already sanctioned by the Centre for 2025–26. P4 Model Mr. Naidu explained that the P4 model (Public-Private-People Partnership) as a revolutionary step to eradicate poverty by 2029. Under this, high-net-worth individuals (Margadarsis) will mentor the bottom 20% (Bangaru Kutumbams), with government programmes supplementing this effort. As of June 23, 2025, over 87,000 adoptions were registered under the model. In just 11 months, Andhra Pradesh attracted ₹9.34 lakh crore in investments with the potential to generate 8.5 lakh jobs, prioritising employment over capital intensity. Notable projects include Ashok Leyland (Mallavalli), Ratan Tata Innovation Hub Industrial parks in every Assembly constituency, renewed thrust on aquaculture, tourism, and food processing. He added that the exports in the State rebounded by 5.16%, lifting A.P.'s share of India's total exports from 4.52% to 4.75%. The Chief Minister said that after inheriting a declining economy (GSDP growth averaged 10.3% during 2019–24 compared to 13.5% in 2014–19), the government set an ambitious 12.02% GSDP growth rate in 2024–25, targeting ₹18.65 lakh crore in 2025–26. Amaravati will be developed as a 'Global Knowledge Hub' with quantum tech and innovation clusters. Mr. Naidu emphasised a digital-first governance model, with 703 services to go live on WhatsApp by Independence Day, and gave a call for 'collective action to build a wealthy, healthy, and happy Andhra Pradesh.' The Chief Minister warned of severe action for any disturbance to law and order.
